The New York Knicks' playoff run not only captivates fans but also significantly boosts local businesses, with projections of up to $832 million generated for the city. As of now, postseason activities have already brought in approximately $195 million from various sources such as tickets, merchandise, and sales at local establishments. Popular venues like Stout and Mustang Harry's report dramatic increases in customer attendance, with some bars tripling their average patron numbers, demonstrating the immediate financial impact of the team’s success on the local economy.
Even in the rain, people are standing outside just to get in here, showcasing the massive turnout and support for the Knicks playoff games.
Pre-COVID, we had a very good lunch business, which is slowly rebuilding, but a Knicks run like this is helping to alleviate some of the pressure attached to it.
