\"UsSo what do New York City, Paris and London all have in common? Yes, in all three cities New York Habitat provides great apartment rentals and vacation accommodations<\/a><\/strong>. All three are capitals of the world in art, culture, fashion and business. But there\u2019s still something else.<\/p>\n

Tennis, anyone?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

New York, London<\/a>, and Paris<\/a> are the host cities of the three most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. There are four \u201cgrand slam\u201d tournaments, beginning with the Australian Open in Melbourne in January. But while that event has gained in popularity over the years, it still lags just behind the other three in terms of prestige and worldwide popularity. The grand slam season in tennis really gets going with The French Open in May\/June, continues with Wimbledon in June\/July, and culminates with The U.S. Open<\/strong> in August\/September in Queens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And before I offend anyone, let me acknowledge my American shorthand. To most Europeans, the proper name of \u201cThe French Open\u201d is merely Roland Garros (where the event is played) and Wimbledon is more properly The Championships. The U.S. Open is just The U.S. Open, but it\u2019s still a whole lot of fun!<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s U.S. Open<\/strong> runs from August 29 through September 11. Tickets are still available here<\/a>. All the world\u2019s best players are scheduled to participate, including stars from The U.S., France and Great Britain. American James Blake, who grew up in New York, has recovered from injuries and just cracked the top 5 in the world rankings. French star Amelie Mauresmo is number one in the women\u2019s division and will seek a U.S. Open crown to go with the Wimbledon title she won last month. And the rapidly improving Andy Murray, who hails from Scotland but has been adopted by England, hopes to wave the flag for Great Britain.<\/p>\n

So why not book a last minute trip to New York to enjoy the fun? <\/strong>New York Habitat still has great <\/strong>vacation rentals available in Queens<\/a> as well as apartment rentals in Manhattan<\/a><\/strong> (the tournament grounds are conveniently accessed by the #7 train line from Times Square), where you can also enjoy everything else the City has to offer.\u00a0There are\u00a0some convenient vacation rentals in New York<\/a> including:<\/p>\n

A Bed and Breakfast in Astoria, Queens (NY-12198)<\/a><\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

A 1-bedroom apartment in Midtown East (NY-14517)<\/a><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not too early to start thinking about next year. You can get the best seats in the tennis stadium \u2013 and the best apartments in our portfolio \u2013 by planning in advance. Follow the links to check out some apartments in London\u00a0accommodations and Paris\u00a0vacation rentals, and start dreaming of winning a grand slam tournament.<\/p>\n
