Hotels for New York Mets vs. Cincinnati Reds

An early-season National League clash on a Sunday evening, when both rosters are still finding their rhythm after spring training. Sunday night games draw a mixed crowd of committed regulars and families getting their first look at the new lineup. Expect the usual rhythms of a regular-season fixture: hot dogs, a packed scoreboard of early standings, and a crowd still working out who this year's team is going to be. April baseball in the Northeast can be cold, so bring a jacket regardless of what the forecast promised in March.

Home to the New York Mets, Citi Field sits in Flushing, Queens, beside the park that hosts the US Open tennis, staging baseball and stadium concerts. The surrounding Flushing Meadows area is open and green, with the diverse dining of nearby Flushing a short distance away and Manhattan reachable by train.

The 7 subway line and the Long Island Rail Road stop right by the ballpark. Staying in Manhattan or Queens lets you ride the train straight to the gates and back with ease.
