NYC, we gotta keep outside summer going. Use all our new Knicks projectors to play World Cup matches on a random Tuesday. Have Spike Lee movie marathons on the side of your building. $20 cocktails and bar snacks: OUT. Bodega beers and bags of chips: IN

i love being a new yorker i love my city i love my state i love our immigrants i love our diversity i love our bluntness i love our warmth i love our hopes i love our dreams i love everyone who loves this city and wants to make it better and more beautiful for us all

Ciao ragazzi, quella che voglio raccontarvi è una follia. Una follia che mi ha portato ad essere al Madison Square Garden ad assistere ad una delle partite più incredibili della storia: gara 4 tra Knicks e Spurs. Mi chiamo Fabio, sono di Bologna, e martedì sera ero a spasso con la mia ragazza. Sono da sempre un tifoso Knicks, e più passeggiavamo col nostro cane “Brooklyn” (siamo grandi amanti di New York), più aumentava la mia curiosità di controllare l’andamento dei prezzi folli del Madison… Mi sono detto “Se riesco a trovarli in resell sotto i 4000 dollari, lo compro”. Faccio una premessa: ho purtroppo avuto a che fare con un delicato problema di salute nella mia vita. Questo mi ha dato la possibilità di vedere il presente il futuro in modo diverso. Passano le ore e trovo un biglietto a 3900 dollari. Ho chiuso gli occhi, e l’ho comprato. Non dico nulla alla mia ragazza. Andiamo a casa e accendo il computer. Trovo un volo da Roma. Prima di dormire trovo il coraggio di dirglielo. “Ho la sveglia tra quattro ore, vado a New York a vedere gara 4…”. Gelo. Poi mi abbraccia e mi dice “Goditela”. Ed eccomi qui, testimone della più grande rimonta nella storia delle Finals, di un clima pazzesco, di una città che esplode di passione per il basket, di una due giorni che non dimenticherò mai. Ho avuto un grave problema cardiaco 5 anni fa. Ho comprato la canotta di Hart, perché il suo nome mi ricorda quel cuore che è stato croce e delizia nella mia vita. Salterò le vacanze, dovrò fare delle rinunce, ma sono felice di aver fatto questa follia. (Fabio Augeri) @SkySportBasket @nyknicks @joshhart

I’M SCREAMING

“New Yorkers make being from New York their entire personality” Yes. Because it is a personality. It’s a nationality. It’s a culture. And if you don’t get it, you were never meant to get it, because you’re NOT A NEW YORKER. goodnight.

For those asking, yes, this is exactly what New York City felt like during the summer in the 90s and early 2000s. The heat, the energy, the unity, this is what it felt like.

in most of america you experience a title run through a television in a living room you drove to. in new york the game was projected on the sides of buildings and strangers hugged on the sidewalk at midnight. density is just the precondition for collective joy

RT @kaludiasays: new york city is having a generational moment meanwhile the entire world is visiting middle america for the world cup and…

This is the only angle that does that miracle justice.

we all just witnessed what will one day be regarded as one of the most iconic moments in sports history. honored to have watched that

One of the least discussed stories of this World Cup and the horrible planning around it, is that the day of the final, Noah Kahan is playing a sold out show at Citi Field and Bon Jovi is playing a sold out show at MSG. The final is at 3:00. Adding in the new 30 minute halftime show, plus the trophy ceremony, will see the stadium empty around 6:30 (if no extra time). This will lead to both buses and trains back to the city…in the same direction as the concerts, which are both slated to start at 8:00, meaning that those who are going to the concerts will be intersecting with those leaving MetLife in the same direction. Upwards of 100,000 more people than additionally considered will be riding public transportation that day, at the same exact time, heading in the same directions.

We’re so excited to have so many people visiting the greatest city on Earth this summer. We wanted to give you all a proper welcome with this video. While you’re here, however long you’re here, we’re glad to have you as our neighbors. Doors opening, New York:

Ages 25–30 are really tough. You’re dealing with a shrinking friend group,aging parents,fixing the financial mistakes from ur early 20s,your career and your health. You’ve gotta find time to heal your mind. You just have to.

Nights like last night are why living in NYC in your 20’s is the best decision you can make

Homophobia is lowkey a class indicator, once guys get into certain spaces they drop the bigotry immediately

I simply do not understand how NJ transit is going to function in 2 weeks for the World Cup with what I’m witnessing in Hoboken this morning
