Labor Day may signal the unofficial end of summer, but it also marks the beginning of tennis season in New York.

Fans from all over the world will soon descend upon the grounds of the US Open Championships to watch elite players and exciting matches — including Serena Williams try to win a history-making 24th Grand Slam victory before beginning an "evolution" away from tennis.

And while they're catching the live matches at the Billie Jean Tennis Center in Flushing, New York, they'll also be snacking on some of the best and most diverse dining options in all of sports. With a wide array of choices — from celebrity chef-run pop-ups to gourmet food stalls to bars serving speciality cocktails — there's something for every craving and every budget.

DRINKS

Cocktails. If you don't post a photo of the Honey Deuce at the US Open, did you even go?! Grey Goose's signature summer cocktail is back and is as refreshing (and photogenic) as ever. The vodka-spiked lemonade is mixed with raspberry liqueur, garnished with three honeydew melon "tennis" balls, and served in a commemorative US Open cup. Veteran tennis fans know to grab their drinks early in the tournament because the glasses often sell out days before the final matches. For something a little cooler on hot days, opt for a Frozen Honey Deuce — a blended, slushy version of the cocktail — sold at various locations around the grounds.

If you can't make it to the US Open this year, mix up your own Honey Deuce at home with the recipe Grey Goose shared with PEOPLE.
