US Open Kosher Food | Where to Eat at Flushing Meadows

Fan Week and Tournament Logistics

The US Open Tennis Championships at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows are officially underway. Fans planning to attend the event this year should note that the tournament kicked off with Fan Week, which offers free entry to the grounds for those who register in advance online. This period provides an early look at the venue before the main draw matches begin.

Starting Sunday, August 30, the tournament moves into the high-profile stage of the main draw. Paid tickets are required for entry on these dates. Visitors should prepare for significant crowds at the Queens facility as the competition heats up. Navigating the venue requires some planning, especially for those looking for specific dietary accommodations like kosher options during long match days.

Locating Kosher Dining Options

For spectators keeping kosher, there is a dedicated and reliable food vendor on site throughout the duration of the tournament. Prime Kosher Sports (PKS) operates the designated stand at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The location is easy to find for those who know where to look. It is situated at the far end of the kosher food court, located near the main entrance to Arthur Ashe Stadium.

PKS is a familiar name for fans who attend major professional sports events in the Northeast. The team manages certified kosher concessions at prominent venues including Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, the Prudential Center in Newark, and the Barclays Center. Beyond the stadium circuit, the company maintains a physical storefront, PKS by the Shore, in Deal, New Jersey. They also recently expanded their reach this past May by launching a kosher market inside Philadelphia International Airport at Terminal A-West, providing travelers with a grab-and-go option that meets kosher and halal standards.

Menu Offerings and Pricing

The stand at the US Open focuses on stadium-ready meals that allow fans to return to their seats quickly. The menu highlights several sandwich options. Both the BBQ brisket sandwich and the hot pastrami sandwich are priced at $26. Other wraps and sandwiches are available for $21. For diners seeking a smaller meal, the stand offers Italian sausage with peppers and onions for $16 and an all-beef frankfurter for $12.

Quick snacks are also available to round out the menu. A potato knish, a baked pretzel, and popcorn each cost $9. The stand also stocks a variety of candy. Beverages include Heineken and Heineken Silver 16-ounce cans for $16.50. Bottled sodas such as Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, and Sprite cost $7.50, while Snapple iced teas and Evian water in 500mL or 750mL sizes are also on offer. The presence of these specific options provides fans with a clear path for dining without compromising their dietary needs while watching the matches.
