Specific hours for each U.S. Open vendor aren’t currently available, so check the website and app closer to the event date before you check them out.

### Day 1

#### Breakfast

Head to Flushing’s Chinatown and stop by the little cash-only takeout window at **Eight Jane**, serving affordable portable jianbing (Chinese-style morning crepes) with fillings like beef, scallions, youtiao (a Chinese fried doughnut), and more.

#### Lunch

Once you’re inside the grounds, get yourself a fancy midday meal. Snag restaurateur Simon Kim’s famous chicken nuggets with optional caviar at **Coqodaq**.

#### Happy hour

Time for a drink, so start your U.S. Open experience with the ever-iconic Honey Deuce cocktail from one of the many **Grey Goose bars** around the grounds. Pair it with a hot dog from **Frank & Fries**.

#### Dinner

Social media influencer Henry Laporte is bringing his famous French dip from his West Village restaurant (which usually has a major line) to the U.S. Open. **Salt Hank’s** hefty sandwich is built with shaved dry-aged prime rib, Provolone cheese, horseradish aioli, and caramelized onions, paired with a cup of au jus.

#### Dessert

**Van Leeuwen**, the ever-growing New York ice cream company, will be offering up scoops of its frozen sweets in cones, cups, and milkshakes, plus its annual exclusive flavor - the honeycomb fudge slam, where the sweet cream ice cream is studded with honeycomb candies and fudge swirls.

#### Late-night

Go back into Flushing and grab some hearty Chinese noodles at standby restaurant **Yunnan Noodle House**, which is thankfully open 24/7. You can build your own soup with a choice of noodles (rice, sweet potato, or Shanghai) and add-ins from bok choy to pork-fish balls.

### Day 2

#### Breakfast

Steamed rolls make for a great morning meal, so stop by **Fu Yuan**, the cash-only Chinese takeout window in Flushing. Peanut butter sauce is a winner, as well as the shrimp-watercress and ham-egg.

#### Lunch

New York summers are for lobster rolls, especially ones from **Red Hook Lobster Pound**, the Brooklyn seafood restaurant. In addition to the ones available in the Connecticut and Maine styles, there is also a lobster BLT, fish and chips, fish sandwiches, lobster fries, shrimp citrus salad, and more.

#### Happy hour

Tequila brand Dobel brought back José Andrés’s Mexican restaurant **Oyamel** for its U.S. Open bar. Therefore, pair the Ace Paloma, a tequila cocktail with grapefruit soda and a black salt rim, with pulled pork nachos.

#### Dinner

Montclair, New Jersey restaurant **Pasta Ramen**, from chef Robbie Felice, is coming back to the U.S. Open with its wafu Italian specialties, which means Japanese-Italian dishes like the spicy tuna crispy rice.

#### Dessert

The U.S. Open outpost of **Carnegie Deli**, the classic New York restaurant, is the best for out-of-towners who don’t have the energy to head into Manhattan for pastrami sandwiches. Look out for those huge black-and-white cookies and rye chocolate chip cookies.

#### Late-night

Bop over to Corona and get some amazing meaty Oaxacan-style tlayudas at Mexican food cart **Tlayuda Oaxaqueña Sr San Pablo**.

### Day 3

#### Breakfast

When in Queens, you *have* to get some dim sum. Look no further than **Asian Jewels Seafood & Dim Sum**, a Cantonese dim sum palace with roaming carts. Get some rice noodle rolls, minced beef balls, and soups.

#### Lunch

Along with Coqodaq, Simon Kim is debuting a new gimbap stand, **Kimbop**. Expect the larger Korean seaweed-wrapped rice rolls with prime beef bulgogi or what they’re calling the “Original Vegetable,” as well as a take with jambon beurre and something called “Steph’s Cookie.”

#### Happy hour

Luxury French wine brand **Moët & Chandon** is whipping up a new drink in a bright tennis-ball-neon-green-colored opaque plastic wine glass at the IHG Racquet Bar. The Watermelon Slice is made with watermelon juice, elderflower liqueur, and lime, with a watermelon wedge.

#### Dinner

Globally acclaimed chef Enrique Olvera is bringing his Mexican restaurant **Cosme** to the U.S. Open for the first time, with duck carnitas flautas with mole and other dishes; it’s a must-stop.

#### Dessert

Keep it easy and simple with some gelato from **Via Roma Gelateria**.

#### Late-night

Hop on the 7 train for a Jackson Heights trek out to **Birria-Landia**. The New York birria truck mini-chain’s neighborhood outpost serves up beefy corn-tortilla tacos.
