New York City consists of five boroughs, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. Each borough has a unique culture and could be a large city in its own right. Visitors to Manhattan usually divide their time between Downtown (Wall St, Liberty Island ferry, Chinatown, SoHo, East Village), Midtown (Times Square, Theatres, Empire State, 5th Ave stores, Chelsea, Gramercy), and Uptown (Central Park, Upper East Side museums, Harlem, Upper West cafes).

Meet your personal driver and enjoy a private transfer to your hotel.

Day 2 New York City

Watch as Novak Djokovic and Samantha Stosur set out to defend their 2011 US Open titles against some of the greatest players to take the courts at Flushing Meadows, New York. The stakes are high in the last Grand Slam event of the season as the players will look for an opportunity to earn that elusive world number 1 ranking. The excitement starts in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th rounds as greats like Roger Federer look poised for another strong tournament, if he can fend off breakout performances by the other 128 players who have qualified. There are no guarantees in this sport as American fan favourite Andy Roddick found out in the 2nd Round of last year's tournament. He will be looking to avoid another disastrous exit from this year's tournament in hopes of regaining the title for the first time since winning here back in 2003.

Savour your VIP access to the official USTA's Premium Hospitality which is an indoor shared hospitality area with a fully catered buffet lunch or dinner and premium bar service. Enjoy all the excitement from your reserved courtside or loge tickets in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
