Not Richie Tenenbaum's finest moment on the courts.
Do you like free strawberries and cream and playing tennis on grass courts and do you have the luxury of being able to enjoy these things on a whim? If you aren't chained to your desk between the hours of 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. then head over to Rockefeller Center to enjoy both of the aforementioned treats, before they disappear after tomorrow.
This is all part of the HSBC-sponsored Wimbledon events, which also features live Wimbledon screenings, classic archived footage, racquet restringing, and Wii kiosks with Grand Slam Tennis. If you want to reserve one of the grass courts, call (855) 688-7715 for a court time—however, we just called and they are all full. Still, there's a chance that there will be some no-shows, so there's no harm in showing up, having your racquet restringed, eating some strawberries and cream, and hanging around the courts for an opening.
And about the strawberries and cream... Team Wimbledon teamed up with New York restaurants, bakeries and food trucks to make special desserts in honor of the traditional tournament treat. They say "these unique treats will be available at Serendipity 3, Dylan's Candy Bar, Wafels & Dinges, Carnegie Deli, Tea & Sympathy, CupcakeStop, DessertTruck and Chinatown Ice Cream Factory" through tomorrow. So you could skip Rockefeller Center altogether, grab a treat, head home, and watch this classic John McEnroe Wimbledon outburst from 1981:
