Best seats
Lower bowl (100s) has superb sightlines in the vertical 'World's Most Famous Arena'; 200-level is the value sweet spot; 400-level is steep but close.
Parking
Don't — it's Midtown Manhattan. Penn Station is directly underneath. ($45–70 (Midtown garages, if you must) USD)
Getting there
Penn Station is literally under MSG — every subway/LIRR/NJ Transit line converges. The most transit-accessible arena in North America.

Surrounded by Midtown — sports bars on 7th/8th Ave, the Pennsy food hall, Koreatown & Herald Sq nearby. Not charming, but endless options steps away.
