in NYC, what to do?

[larciel]

My flight was canceled and I have about 4 hours now, I'm in MSG area. What to do?

First time in NY in 13 years. It's much .. eh, exciting than L.A. 😀😀

 

[bonkers325]

just sleep in front of the post office near msg like the rest of the hobos 🙂

you think they'll have some left over NY pizza? that's what I'll get now.

I can tell you what not to do with those 4 hours: watch a Knicks game.

Near MSG? I'm always stuck there killing time .. I like to go to one of them irish pubs.You know, the generic titles like "Scruffy McGrews" or something like that. There's also B&H Photo - good times for a geek

You can easily eat up 4 hours in Times Square. Only 10 minutes or so north of MSG, walking.

I'm a cheap bastard, so I would go to Gray's Papaya (539 Eighth Ave at 37th Street) or hit chicken and rice vendor (53rd St, 6th Ave).

Do you already have travel time to the airport factored in? Better get going if not.
