From August 18 through September 7 the Seaport area hosted the Seaport Racquet Club with a regulation-size tennis court installed in Seaport Square and weekend programming. Surrounding venues including Heineken Riverdeck, Malibu Farm, Outdoor Bar, and Lawn Bar offered tennis-themed menus and signature Honey Deuce cocktails. The public could participate in open-play sessions on a first-come, first-serve basis while retail collaborations and giveaways complemented on-court activity. Chase Sapphire Reserve cardmembers received access to a private Sapphire Reserve Stadium between August 18 and 21 with clinics and open play. Tennis star Jess Pegula led two one-hour clinics on August 21.
New York's historic Seaport swapped out its usual summertime bustle for tennis fever. For three weeks, the neighborhood's cobblestone streets turned into a lively mix of competition, cocktails, and culture as the Seaport Racquet Club set up shop in partnership with Racquet magazine. From August 18 through September 7, visitors experienced the neighborhood like never before, complete with a full-size tennis court built right in Seaport Square and an array of activations that brought the sport's spirit to the heart of downtown Manhattan.
The Seaport Racquet Club made a statement the moment it opened. A regulation-size court stretched across Seaport Square, creating a central hub for matches, lessons, and casual play. Surrounding spaces like Heineken Riverdeck, Malibu Farm, Outdoor Bar, and Lawn Bar leaned into the theme, serving up signature Honey Deuce cocktails alongside tennis-inspired specials. It wasn't just about watching a match - the entire neighborhood felt transformed, drawing locals and tourists into the energy of the takeover.
Guests had the chance to not only spectate but also participate. The public was invited to hit the court during open-play sessions, scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Whether you were a seasoned player or simply curious, the opportunity to volley a few balls in such an unexpected setting made the event stand out. Retail collaborations and giveaways added to the atmosphere, turning the cobblestones into more than just a backdrop.
