What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Arthur Ashe Stadium, the tournament's main court, opened in 1997 as the largest tennis venue in the world and gained a retractable roof in 2016, allowing play to continue through rain

02

The mystery stays covered

The stadium is named for Arthur Ashe, who won the first US Open in 1968 as the first Black man to claim the title

03

The city starts moving

Off the court, the tournament has built its own food culture around the Honey Deuce, a vodka, lemonade and melon-ball cocktail served in a souvenir cup that has sold in the millions since its 2007 debut, alongside vendors like Eataly, Fuku and Van Leeuwen's exclusive festival ice cream flavor
