    Madison Square Garden
    by bct341
    The home to the NY Knicks (basketball) and the NY Rangers (Hockey), the garden has seen every kind of entertainment and sporting event, to include boxing matches (Ali and Frazier) to political National Conventions.

    The current building is the fourth version of the garden which began in 1879.

    The Garden is located adjacent Penn station, so it is easy to get to by train or subway

    Everyday during lunch if the weather permits I unsheath my upper half and let it see the sun while laying in the grass. The skin darkens as various views are surrounding me. The park is really well manicured, and the grass patches are lush, and make for great napping conditions. Theres a new food stand there called the Shake Shack which is made famous by the Danny Meyer restauranteer.

    Walking down Madison Avenue was a delight on a sunny Sunday morning because NYC is very much a working city there were very few people about. It really is a lovely avenue for a quiet stroll along its leafy tree lined streets

    Not to be confused with the sports arena (the Garden), Madison Square Park has likewise existed in this same rough form for over a century and a half. Crisscrossed with walkways like most of the city's larger parks, the area is a peaceful retreat without the romance of Central Park, but still with fine touches from its important neighbors. To the north is a store devoted to Christmas. To the west the clocktower and pyramidal crown of the Metropolitan Life Building are perhaps the most impressive, while the famous Flatiron Building to the south (once the world's tallest skyscraper) watches sometimes with or without a crown-to-curb advertisement. Statues of illustrious persons dot the grounds and to the west (adjacent to the park) stands the actual grave of Maj. General Worth, a hero of the Mexican War. Without the benefit of incontravertible fact, the park is also reckoned the place where baseball was born.

    Madison Square Garden has hosted many great concerts including Bruce Springsteen's. We were there and no regrets. It was awesome! Like a mayhem.

    There is always something on. Live like a New Yorker and be part of it while you are here. Buy those tickets!

    Madison Square Garden is a huge arena known for being where the New York Knicks basketball team play their home games, as well as the New York Rangers ice hockey team. Many major boxing fights have also taken place here.

    • I am not into sports so we simply made a stop in front of the Madison Square Garden during our on-foot exploration of the city. After all, you can't go to NYC and not so much as take a look at legendary buildings such as this one.

    So yeah, it's a building - what we were mostly impressed by was the INCREDIBLE number of taxis at the door and the number of people with whistles trying to get more to stop by. If you want an example of the stressed out NYC lifestyle, this is it!

    Madison Square Park: Go to the New York Rangers
  • Updated By Cowley on January 14, 2008

    • On January 8th, just four days after my arrival, I went to the Madison Square Garden to see the New York Rangers (Jaromir Jagr, Brendan Shanahan, Scott Gomez, Michal Roszival...) play the Tampa Bay Lightning (Vinnie Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis). I booked a ticket in the 300 seating on Ticketmaster (USD 80.00 with all fees) and I had a great view from up there. Sadly the Rangers didn't manage to win that night but nevertheless: The arena, the whole show is worth it.
