Serve and Return: Feeding the Masses at the Open

When you feed 700,000 people in two weeks, you manage a large food service operation. When several of these people spend 10 hours or more on your premises, you are feeding a lot. When half of them are New Yorkers and many of the remaining half are people wealthy enough to spend days at a time to visit and pay for not-expensive tickets, you should try to feed them at least decently.

Welcome to the U.S. Open, which is obviously the courts, not the food. Although no one comes here to eat ("Hey, we will remove the 7 to Flushing, skip the food and Sichuan food at the Open!") The wind almost everyone not to eat a snack, but a series of them, or even meals. When you consider that the Open will be held two sessions nearly every day for the next two weeks, and the average length of stay on the ground is six hours and the average ticket holder visits several times, you acknowledge that if the Food was as bad as it is, say, Yankee Stadium, would be a big turn-off.

Almost all of the food at the concessions and the restaurants is produced by Levy Restaurants, an arm of the gargantuan food service corporation Compass, and it is at least making noise about doing things well despite the scale: a third of the produce and a portion of the fish is sourced locally. Still, most of offerings are typical, and these are generally better than those at other major New York sports arenas. (The hamburger, sadly, is not; I’ll get to that.)

You may be quite happy eating the slightly more unusual items, like the meatball hero (actually tastier than most of what you would find on the street in the city these days) and a credible lobster roll, and you could look forward to a corned beef sandwich that comes via the Carnegie Deli and is served with appropriately spicy mustard, thankfully. (The pickle, however, doesn’t cut it, and it’s a given that there is no good rye bread left in New York. Oh, well.
