Where to Go After a Concert at Madison Square Garden

After a show at Madison Square Garden, the closest nights out are Koreatown on West 32nd Street and Chelsea, a few minutes’ walk away. New York bars can serve until 4 AM, the subway runs all night, and Penn Station under the arena has LIRR and NJ Transit trains home.

The first 20 minutes after the show

The Garden empties onto Seventh and Eighth Avenues between 31st and 33rd Streets, and Penn Station below fills up at the same time. If you are not catching a train right away, walking a few blocks before you stop is the fastest way out of the crowd.

Neighborhoods near the Garden

Koreatown, on West 32nd Street between Fifth Avenue and Broadway, is the closest late-night block, known for restaurants and karaoke that run very late. Chelsea, to the south, and the area around Hudson Yards, to the west, have bars and lounges within a short walk.

Fan afterparties near Madison Square Garden

REVIVAL nights after Garden shows are fan afterparties themed to the artist, a short walk from the arena. Each one lists the walking time, doors and price on its page, and the address is on your ticket.

Getting home

The subway runs 24 hours, with trains less frequent after midnight. Long Island and New Jersey fans can take the LIRR or NJ Transit from Penn Station; check the last train for your line before the night starts.
