Fire Things Up At Ci Siamo & Hit Madison Square Garden

Catching a Knicks game or a concert at Madison Square Garden? You're in luck, as Manhattan West is just a block's stroll away.

The perfect place to start firing up your mood for the festivities ahead is, of course, Ci Siamo

Housemade pastas and live-fire Italian fare steal the show at the chic eatery from chef Hillary Sterling and Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group. You may have nosebleed seats at MSG, but here you can grab a front-row view of all the action in the kitchen. And, after filling up on Italian specialties and cocktails, you won't have to splurge on a hot dog later (although there's always room for beer).
