Plan Ahead For The 2011 US Open In NYC |
The borough of Queens becomes one of the hottest vacation spots in New York each summer while the US Open is in session. This year’s US Open will take place between August 29 and September 11. The tournament brings scores of tennis fans from across the United States and abroad to witness one of the greatest tournaments the sport has to offer. Top tennis players, such as Venus and Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Samantha Stosur bring fans to their feet as they fight epic battles on the court of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
The venue, where the US Open is held, is located in the historic Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens. The park was also the home of the 1964 World’s Fair, and several of the structures from the fair still exist today.
At one point in time, the US Open was a very closed door event that was held specifically for those of high stature. Today, more than 600 tennis players compete each year for cash prizes that exceed US$1 million in front of fans of all classes that number in the tens of thousands.
With so many tennis fans coming in from around the world, hotels and accommodations
begin to fill up months ahead of the US Open. With Aptnewyork.com though, tennis fans can book furnished apartments in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan to avoid being left out in the summer heat.
There are several fully furnished apartments in Queens that Aptnewyork.com has to offer, including this 2 bedroom apartment in the Ridgewood area of the borough.
BNP Paribas Showdown-Tennis at Madison Square Garden |
For tennis fans who miss the epic rivalry of John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl in the 1980′s or the Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi rivalry of the 1990′s and early 2000′s, you are in luck this February 28th. For one night only at Madison Square Garden, you can watch John McEnroe play Ivan Lendl, followed by Andre Agassi versus Pete Sampras. This could possibly be the last time these tennis legends are all in the same arena at the same time and it is a great excuse for a spring vacation in New York City. During your stay, rather than taking the traditional route of most tourists, why not stay in a beautiful vacation rental apartment. AptNewYork.com offers great short-term and long-term vacation rental apartments in the hottest neighborhoods of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Tennis fans may be familiar with Madison Square Garden, as last year, four women at the top of women’s tennis faced off in and epic early season tournament. The players featured were Kim Clijsters, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Venus Williams, and Ana Ivanovic, with Venus Williams taking home the trophy. If you missed it last year, don’t miss this year’s “Tennis Night in America” at Madison Square Garden, as it is sure to be just as exciting. This is the perfect opportunity for a fantastic vacation in New York City. And again, if you want to experience New York City from the perspective of a true New Yorker, there is no better way to do that than with a great vacation rental apartment from AptNewYork.com.
