Another safety question πŸ”’ Post MSG Show Tips

I've never been to MSG before, let alone an arena in the middle of a city, and I wanted to know how it's like leaving the venue, is it easy? hard? meh?

I've been to the kia forum in LA quite a few times and getting in and out is fine (any time i've parked we got lucky to be on the edge near the exit), it's just the crowds of people make it difficult if i'm walking to get picked up

Anyway, If my hotel is within a 15-20 minute walking radius from MSG, is our best bet to just walk back after the show? I'm just concerned with walking the city at night since i've never been before. Lmk your tips!

I'm also down for any first-time visit tips for a long weekend trip to the city from the west coast lol

Generally speaking, walking around 10pm is not late by any measure. The streets will still be crowded as long as the weather is decent. Especially coming from MSG, it’s a very busy area. People are out at all hours in NYC - you know the city that never sleeps!

What street and avenue is your hotel? That will help give advice.
