The Taste Of Luxury At U.S. Open

The U.S. Open, one of the most prestigious professional sport events in the world, offers an unparalleled luxury experience for attendees. Set against the backdrop of New York City, this tournament not only showcases top-tier tennis talent from both women and men but also elevates the spectator experience to new heights with its exquisite food and drink offerings.

The talk of the US Open is the famous Golden Nugget chicken with caviar from COQODAQ, which can be found at Arthur Ashe Stadium's club level and in the Food Village; if that's your fix or piques your curiosity, six "golden nuggets" will cost upwards of $100 USD, just for that dish alone, which features Petrossian caviar and crème fraîche.

"There’s something magical about the combination of caviar and chicken nuggets. It’s unexpected, it’s playful, and it feels like a celebration," Simon Kim, CEO and Founder of Gracious Hospitality Management (COQODAQ, COTE Korean Steakhouse) told USA TODAY Sports. "

That’s exactly what the US Open is - a celebration of sport, culture, and indulgence. Our goal has always been to create a high-low experience, where something as simple as a chicken nugget, which everyone loves, becomes elevated when paired with world-class caviar."

Attendees can indulge in a variety of gourmet dining options that cater to diverse palates—from artisanal sandwiches to fine dining experiences featuring seasonal ingredients. The culinary landscape at the U.S. Open is designed to reflect both local flavors and international cuisine, ensuring that every visitor finds something delightful.

In addition to exceptional food, guests can enjoy a selection of premium drinks ranging from craft cocktails to fine wines, all served in a stylish setting that complements the event's luxurious atmosphere.

Honey Deuce

Did you really go to the tennis tournament if you didn't drink a Honey Deuce? Since its creation in 2005, the Honey Deuce has evolved from a simple cocktail to a symbol for the U.S. Open. The invention of restaurateur and former Grey Goose ambassador Nick Mautone, the official cocktail of the tournament is a refreshing vodka, lemonade, and raspberry liqueur drink, served with honeydew melon balls that are meant to evoke tennis balls.

Aperol Spritz

This refreshing summertime favorite can be found at Aperol bar carts throughout the premium tournament grounds near Arthur Ashe Stadium. There will event be celebrity guest bartenders dishing out drinks to tennis fans.

Watermelon Slice

IHG Hotels & Resorts is debuting its first-ever cocktail at this year’s U.S. Open: the Watermelon Slice, a blend of Moët & Chandon, watermelon juice, elderflower liqueur, and lime, garnished with a signature watermelon wedge and served in a tennis-themed collectible cup. It’s available at the IHG Racquet Bar onsite and at select IHG hotel properties in New York City.

Overall, attending the U.S. Open is not just about watching thrilling matches; it’s an immersive experience where luxury service meets world-class tennis amid a vibrant social scene—truly a must-experience event for sports enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.
