There’s something unique about each borough of New York. But, Queens in particular has everything you could have ever imagined. Starting from luxury high rises, diversity, stronger infrastructure and of course car dealerships. The list can go on so we made a list below highlighting the events one should see while in Queens this summer.
Citi Field
Opened in 2009, the Mets’ newest stadium was designed to hark back to Ebbets Field (where the Dodgers played in Brooklyn until 1957), with a brick exterior and lots of fun features for fans of all ages, from a batting cage and Wiffle-ball field to the original giant apple taken from the team’s old residence, Shea Stadium. Even those who aren’t Mets fans but simply love baseball should come to see the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, a soaring multistory entrance and history exhibit dedicated to the Dodgers player who shattered baseball’s color barrier.
US Open
The US Open, by far the nation’s biggest tennis tournament, returns to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center August 27 through September 9. The Grand Slam event brings together the world’s best players along with great food, kids’ activities and musical performances, and draws fans from around the globe. Tickets go on sale at 9am on June 11. To buy them, visit ticketmaster.com.

Can’t leave Queens without playing golf. Douglaston Golf Course, formerly North Hills Country Club, is located in Queens and is easily accessible from both the Long Island Expressway and the Grand Central Parkway. It is our most popular course and the second busiest course in NYC.
