Tennis Point NYC

Tennis clubs in Manhattan rarely sit this close to the East River. Tennis Point NYC operates at 1 United Nations Plaza, New York, NY 10017, a building that looks across the water toward Queens and the UN campus itself. The courts are indoors, which means rain delays are someone else’s problem.

First Avenue traffic moves fast here, but the club’s address keeps it tucked between midtown energy and diplomatic quiet. Members can book time without competing against the weekend rush that swamps public parks, and the location makes it simple to pair a match with a walk along the FDR or a coffee at any of the kiosks near the plaza.

If you want to reserve a court or ask about lessons, call. The number isn’t listed above, but it’s the same one you’d use to confirm whether the club still runs its annual mixed-doubles ladder or offers guest passes for out-of-town players.

Directions are easiest if you pull up the map before you leave; the entrance hides behind the main UN building, and even locals sometimes circle the block once. Once inside, the only view is the court and the clock.
