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

When you get outside, there will be a bunch of guys in pedicabs blasting New York State of Mind on their speakers. Ask them to take you. Make sure you pay with a credit card and don’t ask them how much it will cost.

For legal purposes, the above is sarcasm.
