NYC Weekend Events

MYFOXNY.COM - James Fletcher of AOL City's Best has some recommendations for things to do this weekend in New York City.

SATURDAY ONLY

US Open's Arthur Ashe Kids' Day - Flushing, Queens

The US Open is right around the corner which means it's time for this popular annual event in Queens.

9:30AM - gates open with activities including face painting, juggling school, tennis clinics, autograph sessions and live entertainment. 1PM - Main event kicks off with Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, David Archuleta, Shontelle. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick will also be on hand.

Activities are free, concert tickets are $10. Tickets are limited so if they're sold out, I've seen them as low as $38 on Stub Hub.
