Things to Do in New York In August 2019

Enjoy great weather in New York and take a river cruise: a 2-hour lunch or a 3-hour dinner cruise along the most recognizable skyline in the world. Lots of sports events in August: US Open Tennis Championship, Mets and Yankees baseball games, Jets and Giants football games. Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center host several concerts (see links in "Concerts in New York"), and Broadway is welcoming everyone to its 41 theaters to see all kinds of shows: The Lion King, The Phantom of the Opera, Stomp and so many more.

US Open

The US Open tennis tournament is held in New York every year. The tournament takes place in Queens. You can get there by public transportation. The information about the tournament dates and how to purchase tickets can be obtained from the official US Open site.
