Belmont Park, N.Y., Sept. 23, 2026 — As the New York Islanders prepare to take the ice for the 2026-27 season, UBS Arena and hospitality partner Delaware North Sportservice are introducing an exciting lineup of new food, beverage and retail offerings for fans to enjoy throughout the venue. From over-the-top desserts and creative handhelds to locally inspired specialties and shareable favorites, this season’s additions showcase bold flavors, premium ingredients and the culinary creativity that has become a hallmark of the arena experience.

“Our team is always looking for new ways to surprise and delight fans through food,” said Ted Donnelly, executive chef for Delaware North Sportservice at UBS Arena. “This year’s lineup combines inventive takes on classic arena fare with unique flavors and memorable presentations. Whether guests are looking for a comfort food favorite or something completely unexpected, there’s something new to discover throughout the arena.”

“Guest experience is at the core of everything we do at UBS Arena,” said Michael Sciortino, General Manager. “As we approach our fifth anniversary, our food and beverage program has grown significantly since 2021, from unique, one-of-a-kind items you won’t find anywhere else to classic arena staples. We want every fan to have great options throughout the arena no matter what they’re in the mood for.”

New to UBS Arena this season is the Coca-Cola Corner, located at Section 105. Throughout the season, the concession will feature a rotation of four local restaurants, with a portion of sales benefiting efforts to fight food insecurity.

The first restaurant featured in the Coca-Cola Corner will be Tap Room offering Pastrami Sliders and Prime Rib Sliders. The next restaurant to be featured in this rotation is Wok N’ Roll, who will be serving up Birthday Cake Egg Rolls and Vodka Chicken Parm Egg Rolls. Additional concepts will be announced at a later date.
