News and notes from the U.S. Open

Parking advice

August
22

Serious red alert.

If you are thinking about driving to the U.S. Open this year, you might want to reconsider. There is construction at Shea, taking those lots out of service. And for the duration of the second week, the Mets are home. Expect gridlock and frustration.

On the up side, the USTA has set up a parking lot in Orchard Beach with shuttle service to the grounds. For exact directions check out the “The USTA website’s parking info.”:http://www.usopen.org/en_US/about/transportation.html

The Shuttle starts on Sept. 4 and runs through the end of the tournament. Metro North is another great option. The 7 train runs straight from Grand Central Station to the tennis center.
