This has me thinking...imagine if the Knicks offered a night for *real* New Yorkers. The ones who understand the culture called and pulse of the 4 boroughs - not just Manhattan - and called it NYC NIGHT.


EDIT: I'm realizing now you meant "the other 4 boroughs", but I'll still use this as an opportunity to leave up a dope pic.

My bad, I edited the post. Good catch. Be fkn up posting from my phone.

Dope pic indeed. Let me drop this one for you:

Born in Greenpoint Hospital. Move to the BX when I was 4. Have lived in the Bronx ever since.

Grew on skels, off the point, stickball, wiffle ball. 2 hand touch, as well as played basketball, softball and little league/junior pony baseball

Played Ring-a-levio, Manhunt and Round Up. Also played Johnny on the Pony.

Dellwood Yankee Games and was a Con Ed Kid. Saw Reggie Jackson but his 300 HR as a Yankee.

Remember the 77 Black Out as it was yesterday

I played as a kid in Queens and continued when I moved to Roosevelt L.I. They called it Skelly too :)

Used to play Manhunt (thugged out hide and seek) on the Rooftops in the Bronx (where I spent my summers)
