Flashback Friday – US Open

It’s been a while since my Throwback Thursday post. I actually can’t remember when I last posted. I guess parenthood plays a huge part. Anyways, over the recent holiday weekend, I went to the US Open. Thank you, American Express and Mount Sinai, for the awesome experience. Thank you to the chefs and restaurants participating in an awesome Flavors of the Open. It was great seeing familiar faces and new ones as well. The weather was hot and beautiful. The food at Flavors of the Open was great, not so much at the US Open itself, maybe because the chefs are not present to do quality control. Here is a video highlighting this year’s experience.

2023 US Open

This video is a little over 5 minutes, and it highlights my views watching several players compete, including US Open Women’s champ Coco Gauff and the comeback of Caroline Wozniacki.

I have sampled the food at the actually US Open, particularly the Heineken bar and Mojitos. I was drinking Aperol Spritz. The burger with the fries and the yucca fries were my top dishes for this year. I also had the tuna ceviche, and it was a lot of avocado and less of the tuna. The steak quesadilla was good, too.

There were lots of fun activities such as pictures, virtual reality games, and 5 minute massages.

I’m hoping that next year or when the child turns 5, we can go to the US Open Fan week.
