The New York Knicks Championship Parade hits Lower Manhattan on June 18, and it’s promising to be one of the biggest parties this city has ever seen. The parade runs from 10 a.m. to noon, concluding with a ticketed ceremony at City Hall — and if you’re coming to the neighborhood to catch the spectacle, you’re probably going to want a bite to eat once the festivities end. Cheering is a great way to work up an appetite!
Luckily for you, Lower Manhattan has tons of delicious restaurants, cafes, bars and more where you’ll be able to replenish some calories post-parade. Below, find some ideas in our past guides and content; just note that businesses along Broadway may be hard to access while the parade is ongoing due to street closures. Speaking of, be sure to take a look at everything you need to know about attending the parade, including security measures, closures and what to bring (and what not to bring) before heading to the neighborhood tomorrow.
