The last event of the summer and always one of my favorites 🎾 I love going to the US Open and of course drinking the honey deuces and as a long time tennis fan this is one of the few instances where the food comes second for me (though the US open has combined both passions well in recent years).
I always go in the first round and highly recommend it: a full day of play on the outer courts, incredible players up close, and access to Armstrong or Ashe depending on your tickets. The best way to experience it.
Rain suspended outer court play for most of the day but honestly it just meant more time for honey deuces and COQODAQ nuggets with caviar, so no complaints since it cleared in the afternoon!
A few food notes if you’re planning a visit: Salt Hank’s is a must and the line moves faster than you’d think but go early (aka not right at lunch). Get Armstrong tickets for the best value. And if you want the full two-week food guide from someone actually working the tournament, Jaymee Sire has been covering it for three weeks and her content is incredible.
