Madison Square Garden
I think it’s smart to use the app for your tickets. Scanning at the gate was a breeze with my phone, and it saved me from fumbling with paper in the crowd.
If you’re looking for a great view, try to sit higher up. I had seats on the lower level once and could hardly see the full action. The upper tiers have a better overall perspective
My advice is to check out the food options in advance. Some stands can get super crowded, and you might end up spending more if you don’t plan. I found the pretzels and pizza worth every penny!
Yankee Stadium
Dress in layers! The weather can change quickly, and if you're sitting in the sun, it can get hot. I ended up sweating a ton, then freezing when the sun went down!
Public transport is the way to go! Take the subway to the stadium. It saves you from the parking hassle and traffic – I paid a fortune for parking last time. Plus, it’s a fun way to soak in the city's vibe!
Barclays Center
Don't forget to check if there's a promo code for your tickets! I saved a bit on mine that way, which was a nice surprise.
I suggest bringing a small portable charger. Using your phone for pics and directions drains battery life, and you might miss out on moments.
I recommend arriving around 5:30 PM for weeknight games. You'll beat the crowd and have a better chance to find cheaper parking near the arena.
Amsterdam Billiards Club
Frames Bowling Lounge
Try to arrive at around 5 PM for a good mix of crowds. It’s lively but not too packed, so you can enjoy the vibe without the crazy wait times.
Citi Field
Check out the food vendors on the upper level if you want to avoid long lines. I had the best hot dog up there, and it was way less crowded.
McHale's Bar & Grill
Vanderbilt Tennis Club
I recommend checking out their schedule for events ahead of time. I missed a cool match because I wasn't aware of it. Staying in the loop will def help you enjoy more tennis!
My advice is to bring your own water bottle! They charge like crazy for drinks there, and it's a nice money saver. Plus, you can refill it easily
I suggest you get there around 10 AM when it's a bit quieter and you can snag a good spot for some great matches without the crowds. Mornings are just so peaceful!
Central Park Tennis Center
My advice is to book your courts online in advance. I didn't, and I had to wait longer than I expected, which ate into my practice time.
Steinway Cafe-Billiards
Check out their happy hour deals; they can save you a bunch on drinks! I didn't realize they had one until my second visit, and it made a huge difference.
