Madison Square Garden is a venue in Manhattan, New York City, at 4 Pennsylvania Plaza. It sits above Penn Station in the heart of the city, so it is easy to reach by train and on foot from much of midtown.
What a visit offers
The arena is known as "The World's Most Famous Arena," and it hosts a full calendar of events. Visitors can catch a home game of the NBA's New York Knicks or the NHL's New York Rangers, or go to a major concert. Either kind of night gives you a sense of the crowd and atmosphere that make the building a New York landmark.
Behind the scenes
For those who want to see more than the seats, behind-the-scenes tours reveal the building's storied history. A tour suits anyone curious about how a working arena runs, or who simply wants to walk the spaces that have hosted so many events.
Around the venue
- Penn Station, directly beneath the arena, serves as a transit hub for trains and subway lines.
- Midtown Manhattan surrounds the venue, with restaurants, shops and sights within walking distance.
If you are planning a trip to New York City, a game or concert here is a straightforward way to experience the city's energy in the middle of its busiest district.
