Soup for breakfast is grossly underrated. Light but filling it keeps you going all day. That’s important when a full day at the US Open lies ahead. The games are free but everything around them is prohibitive: $11 for a hotdog, $23 for a salad, $24 for three chicken tenders . Never mind drinks: $32 for a glass of champagne, $24 for a cocktail. And the lines!
With that in mind, we stopped at New York Food Court to split a bowl of Shanghai wonton noodle soup and get a couple of lamb roujiamo burgers. The spent $23 carried us through, all the way to dinner, with no problems.
After breakfast, we took our usual route past the 7 train, along hustling and bustling lumbar yards of the 41st Avenue, through the hole in the fence, to the venue entrance by from the back.
Good seats in the shade and we could watch two games simultaneously. Lost counts of how many we actually saw.
On the way back, the 41st Ave was cleaned up and quiet.
For dinner, we had two important visitors from Manhattan and went all out fancy for a Korean BBQ to impress them.
A nice banchan selection, a seafood pancake, a platter of vegetables, and a spectacular Staircase Special kept us busy and made everyone happy.
