While some international travellers may be hesitant to visit the United States right now—due to ongoing political tensions or social debates—there’s one place that continues to welcome the world with open arms: New York City.
As summer fades and fall begins, NYC offers the perfect mix of cooler temperatures, unforgettable events, and world-class experiences. Whether you’re here for the US Open, Broadway, or ballpark hot dogs, August and September are full of reasons to explore this one-of-a-kind city.
The US Open: A Grand Slam Like No Other
From August 24 to September 7, 2025, the US Open New York 2025 takes over the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens—and it’s as much about the vibe as the tennis.
Arthur Ashe Stadium—the world’s largest tennis arena—turns night matches into Broadway-style events. Think of glittering skyline views, electric crowds, and edge-of-your-seat action. Add in lobster rolls, sushi, and the fan-favourite honey deuce cocktail, and you’ve got the ultimate blend of sport and spectacle.
Beyond the Baseline: NYC’s Fall Sports Scene
While the US Open headlines New York’s sports calendar each fall, it’s far from the only game in town. Baseball fans can catch the Yankees or Mets as the postseason race heats up, while football fans gear up for Giants and Jets games, at Metlife Stadium, just across the river.
Soccer fan? NYCFC brings the energy with fast-paced matches and passionate crowds, especially as the MLS season heats up in the fall. Prefer basketball? The Knicks and the Nets will be gearing up for preseason, giving fans an early look at what’s ahead. Whether you’re in a massive stadium or a historic arena, there’s always a game on.
Explore NYC Between Games
Need a break from the buzz? From peaceful green spaces to towering landmarks, the city invites you to pause, breathe, and take it all in—before jumping back into the action. Relax in Battery Park with views of the Hudson and the Statue of Liberty, or head to Top of the Rock or the Empire State Building and see NYC from above.
Taste the City, One Bite at a Time
Food in NYC is as diverse—and insta-worthy—as its boroughs. In Chinatown, capture the moment at Jiang Nan NYC, where bold regional Chinese flavors shine in dishes like the Mixed Beef, Ox Tripe & Spam in Spicy Sichuan Chili Broth, all served in a chic, modern space.
Uptown in Harlem, soul food comes with a side of live jazz. In Brooklyn, DUMBO and Williamsburg are full of rooftop eats and riverside cafés. From street food to fine dining, every meal in NYC tells a story.
Don’t miss the city’s comfort food classics, like a bacon-egg-and-cheese from a corner deli, or a late-night burger from a hidden gem in the East Village.
Broadway & Beyond
No trip to NYC is complete without seeing a Broadway show. From timeless hits like The Lion King to exciting new productions, the magic of Times Square’s theater district is unmatched. For budget-friendly tickets, check out the TKTS booth in Times Square for day-of deals.
Want something off the radar? Catch a rising star at Off-Broadway venues like The Public Theater or enjoy an outdoor performance in Bryant Park for a relaxed, open-air experience.
