Game. Set. Match.
30 08 2010Join RAs Dylan and Samantha to see the U.S. Open on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST. Everything above this little blurb is pretty much self-explanatory. The U.S. Open as you all know takes place in Flushing, Queens so we will be taking the subway! We will be taking the 6-train to 42nd Street/Grand Central and from there on take the 7-train to the Mets-Willets Point Station. For those who aren’t familiar with the MTA subways, this may be your opportunity to get to know it! Bring your own metrocard and if your cash flow is low, let us know (ASAP) at lafayette@nyu.edu.
** NOTE THE TIME CHANGE. We are now meeting in the lobby at 5:00PM. Do not go by the flyers at the elevator banks and please be on time. Give or take travel time and possibly running into rush hour on the way there, it’s better to leave 2 hours in advance. Game starts at 7PM
