New York - The New York Knicks

I decided that a sports game was a must for my New York trip. And of course we couldn't get in to see the Rangers or Islanders (ice hockey for those of you who are completely uneducated!!) so basketball was the next best thing.

Only five of us out of the nine wanted to go - so off we went. I think we spent the most part of the day shopping (as we did most days) and arrived at Madison Square Gardens ready for some proper New York culture! This included beers (the cups had hollow handles which left room for pretzel sticks!) and hot dogs! Yes both Hannah and I - the veggies - gave up for a night and had hot dogs. I have to admit it was absolutely vile and I'll never have another!!

The game was tons of fun. Madison Square Gardens is quite large but doesn't see it at all when you're actually inside. We had great tickets and saw all of the action. William Hurt was there as well as some random wrestler but the best bit was some guy proposing to his girlfriend. How sweet!!!!
