Labor Of Love

Enjoy balls, malls and cocktail brawls

Even though Labor Day weekend has somehow snuck up on us, we are choosing to be in denial about summer’s end. We’ve scoured the city for events that are anything but laborious! Just say no to fall while you enjoy a fun-filled summery week of tennis balls, shopping malls and cocktail brawls!

Forty, Love?
US Open
Through Sunday, September 7
If you’re one of those sporty boys who’s going into withdrawal after what seemed like forty days and forty nights of the Beijing Olympics, then head on over to the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and watch Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal get all sweaty and deuce themselves out of a forty-all matchpoint.

Individual tickets: $22 - $80

Looking for a good Wood fix?
Woodbury Common Premium Outlets Labor Day Sale
Friday, August 29 – Monday, September 1
If tennis isn’t really your sport, then perhaps shopping is? Skip the US Open and drag your balls up to one of the largest outlet malls in the country. You’re sure to find deep discounts on designer duds including Diesel, G-Star Raw, Gucci, Prada and Versace. Accessible by bus, train or helicopter!

Open 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. through Labor Day

Star Gay-zer
Star Lounge at Chelsea Hotel
Friday, August 29, 10:00 p.m.
After an exhausting day of shopping who doesn’t want a nice cocktail? Even if you’ve maxed out all your credit cards, be sure to check out Star Lounge for their open V2 Vodka bar 10:00 – 11:00 p.m. But don’t get too sloppy, as all the starry-eyed pretty boys tend to arrive on the later end of the evening.
