Manhattan Tells a Less Consistent Story
Manhattan Airbnb prices were also higher during the tournament-period window, but Booking.com did not show the same pattern. That contrast makes Queens the clearest location-level finding in the data.

Methodology
RotoGrinders compared displayed accommodation prices on Airbnb and Booking.com for Queens and Manhattan across two equal 13-night stay windows.
- Tournament-period stay: Aug. 31–Sept. 13, 2026
- Comparison stay: Sept. 30–Oct. 13, 2026
- Guests: 2 adults
- Listings analyzed: 2,073
- Platforms: Airbnb and Booking.com
- Locations: Queens and Manhattan
- Collection date: Aug. 19, 2026
- Currency: U.S. dollars
Prices reflect the accommodation inventory displayed at the time of collection and can change as availability and rates move. The two windows do not contain identical listing inventories, so the analysis compares the available market in each search period rather than a matched set of properties. The results show a price difference between the periods and do not attribute every change exclusively to the US Open.
