New Queens Tourism Guide Launches, Targeting US Open Attendees

QUEENS, NY — The Queens Chamber of Commerce has launched a new guide to the borough's hotels and restaurants to coax US Open spectators to go beyond the stadiums in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.

The business association's printed guide will pair with an interactive map that allows users to search by neighborhood or cuisine and lists upcoming events at each spot.

"We’re excited to welcome more than 800,000 tennis fans to the US Open this year and encourage them to stay in Queens to experience all our borough has to offer and support our local businesses," Thomas J. Grech, President and CEO of the Queens Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement.

The 2019 Best of Queens Hospitality & Dining Guide will be distributed at the US Open, which kicks off next week. It will also be available at local hotels, businesses and events throughout the year.

"With over 6,000 restaurants and 150 hotels, New Yorkers know that Queens is the best borough to sample cuisines from all over the world and stay when you’re visiting," Grech said.
