Knicks fans, the wait is over. For the first time in 25 years, New York is back in the Eastern Conference Finals—and if you’re not at Madison Square Garden, these watch parties around the city are the next best thing.
Slate (54 W. 21st St.)
Slate is pulling out all the stops for the Knicks Fan TV Watch Party on Wednesday, May 21. Doors open at 6pm, with a half-priced happy hour from 6pm-7pm and a game-time tipoff at 8pm. Expect Knicks-colored frozen cocktails, live audio, and DJ Eric L Beats spinning during breaks. If Mitchell Robinson makes a free throw, everyone gets a round of shots. Bonus: you’ll find games galore—pool, ping pong, 8 player-foosball, Skee-Ball, Dartsee, and even golf simulators. Tickets here.
