The Honey Deuces are flowing, the racquets are out and the U.S. Open is officially in full swing. If you can’t score tickets to Arthur Ashe this year, get your tennis fix at Seaport Racquet Club. From August 24 through September 13, the Seaport is celebrating tennis season in all sorts of ways, with everything from tennis movies to match screenings to a court where you can practice your own moves.
Sadie’s Garden Bar (19 Fulton St.) is screening the matches, so you can order a Honey Deuce, sit outside and cheer for your favorite players — it’s basically like being at the stadium. During opening weekend, World of Hyatt will host a watch party here with DJ performances, snacks and special programming.
The Heineken Riverdeck will host a screening of “King Richard” for a tennis-themed Seaport Cinema September 1. Grab a seat, settle in and revisit the story of the father who helped launch two of tennis’ biggest stars. The Riverdeck Bar will also be adding a Honey Deuce to its menu, naturally.
Whether you’re just starting out or consider yourself a pro, there’s no better excuse to pick up the racquet and see what you’ve got. The Court located at Seaport Square is open on a first-come, first-served basis with racquets and tennis balls provided. If you have a racquet of your own, pop over on August 29 to give your racquet a refresh with a new Overset grip. On August 31, the last event on the Court will be the NY 1-Point Slam. Get ready for a fast-paced showdown as New Yorkers of all levels compete for prizes and bragging rights.
However you want to celebrate the U.S. Open, Seaport Racquet Club will be serving up plenty to love.
