Bottom Line
What we loved
eing right there at Penn Station is clutch. 5/5 stars for transit, no question.
The energy in MSG is real. Totally electric atmosphere for the Kings vs. Knicks game
Okay, that Carnegie Deli Pastrami? YES. Huge points for food options
Awesome view from our seats (Sec 112, Row 22 wasn't bad!)
You HAVE to hear this – I totally fumbled my first pastrami (tragic!), went to buy another, and the woman remembered me and refunded the second one on the spot when I told her! That's incredible service right there.
Oh yeah, we did the tour too ($138 for us three). Definitely recommend it if you want that behind-the-scenes peek.
What we did not like
Seat Comfort (or Lack Thereof): Okay, let's be real – the seats were ROUGH (2.5/5). Calling it a Spirit flight experience is spot on! I'm only 5'2", and it was a squeeze.
Getting Around Inside: It was just okay (3.5/5). Not terrible, but not as seamless as maybe some other places.
Verdict
Even though our legs were cramping and it cost a pretty penny ($592 for the three tickets!), it was still an awesome time at The Garden. The history, the vibe, the easy transit, that pastrami... it mostly outweighed the fact that we felt like sardines in our seats. Definitely a must-do, especially as NY natives, just maybe prepare for that tight squeeze!
