The wings had a beautiful crunch to the skin, and Fuku also offered Impossible chicken nuggets, which, to be honest, we didn’t even know weren’t chicken until we read the menu. We’re not even really caviar people, but dipping your jalapeno chicken wing in was pretty tasty. Fuku: Speaking of decadent, Fuku served up multiple offerings that came with a side of caviar and ranch.Melt Shop: Melt Shop served us up a Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich and, I mean, what’s not to like about a chicken bacon ranch? The chicken is crispy, and the bread is lightly toasted so the ranch doesn’t make it soggy.I could have done without the corn that is also on top of the bowl, but it was still a really tasty dish overall. The pork on top is not spicy itself but is really flavorful. The star of the bowl is the kimchi, which is crunchy and a perfect mix of spicy and sour. We had the Spicy Pork Rice Bowl, but I promise every option won’t feature rice. Korilla BBQ: Korilla BBQ has been at the US Open before and is always one of our favorites.

It also has wonton crisps which give the bowl a delightful crunch and texture change. We tried the Classic Tuna Rice bowl, which had delicious chunks of tuna, rice that was soft but not mushy, and a shoyu sesame dressing that I would have licked off my arm (which I did when I spilled it on myself). Poke Yachty: If you’re feeling the heat during the afternoon session and want something fresh, we loved the poke bowl from Poke Yachty.They also provide grain salads and other lighter options for those who might not be eating meat. This food stall offers rice bowls topped with a variety of delicious options like fried chicken or braised beef. Field Trip: Field Trip is a rice-centric favorite from Harlem chef JJ Johnson, who is also a James Beard award-winner.

So what were the best things we ate? What do you need to eat at the US Open? ( We also did a whole TikTok series reviewing the food so check it out). You’re not getting basic stadium burgers and fries here. The Billie Jean King Tennis Center features a mixture of restaurants, like chef Alex Guarnaschelli’s Fare or chef David Burke’s Mojito, as well as tons of concession offerings in the US Open Food Village that are still prepared by award-winning chefs. What should you eat? Good news for you, we went to the 2022 US Open Food Tasting Preview to sample all of the food being offered at this year’s Open so that we could give you the best recommendations. You’re walking the grounds and enjoying a wonderful day of tennis, but now you’re ravenous. Melt Shop’s Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich (photo courtesy of the writer) What is the best food to eat? This can sometimes be easier if you’re taking NJ Transit in or coming from out on Long Island, but is, obviously, more expensive than just paying for a subway ride. Rail: If you don’t want to deal with subway transfers and are OK spending a little more money, you can take the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) from Penn Station or Woodside right to Mets-Willets Point Station. You can pick up the 7 train at the Court Square station if you’re coming from Brooklyn or from either Times Square or Grand Central if you’re coming from Manhattan. You’ll have to walk down the boardwalk from the subway to the center, but it’s all right there for you. Subway: The 7 train to Mets-Willets Point will essentially get you right to the Billie Jean King Tennis Center. You get a reserved seat in that stadium and then general admission to the other stadiums and the grounds where the outside courts are. These will then prompt you to select a seat at the stadium you’ve chosen. Ticketmaster and other ticket sites will give you different options that say: Louis Armstrong Stadium tickets, Grandstand tickets, and Arthur Ashe Stadium tickets. Tickets for these early sessions also tend to be slightly cheaper, starting around $70. Since there are so many matches being played on these days, there is constant action on the outside courts, meaning you get the most bang for your buck. Our preference is to go during the first week of the tournament. The night sessions are built around the matches in the stadium courts but will feature a couple of matches on the outside courts When should you go?

The day sessions will feature many games on the outside courts and a few matches on both of the stadium courts.

The day sessions begin every day at 11:00 AM ET, and the night sessions begin at 7:00 pm ET. The main draw of the US Open runs until Sunday, September 11th.
