NCAAs at Madison Square Garden...

That was exaggeration for effect, Manatree. There are a lot of rough, tough wrestling fans from the hinterlands afraid of their own shadow when it comes to the Big Apple.

Everyone knows there's a great Sbarro's right near the Garden

Anyone who comes to NYC and eats at Sbarro's has completely punted it. While convenient to the Garden, just don't do that

TGI Friday's and any place Guy Fieri stands behind are guaranteed to be tasty as well

Can't speak for the food but I've always been fond of Foleys on 33rd before a trip to MSG, then again it's a Penguins bar (lord knows how that happened) so I'm a touch biased.

I personally never travel farther east than Iowa City.

1 block north of MSG on 7th Ave is an inexpensive, but terrific Gyro/Souvlaki restaurant. The best I've tasted .

You would enjoy Pennsylvania - full of nice Midwestern folk

Does anybody know when they stopped teaching geography in high school?

As a native New Yorker, and East Coast wrestling fan, I'm thrilled to have this great event here.

That said, my impression is the tickets are exorbitant.

On Stubhub, last week, I paid close to 3G's for two all session tickets in the 200 level, center.

The last time I attended this event was in Philly, and before that, in Albany, & I don't recall the tickets being so expensive.

That does seem way out of line. 18 of us are spending $1600 a piece for a suite which includes tickets, food and some drinks. Sounds like we got a better deal than I thought.

The 70s. But seriously, if they had a geography bee at my school back in the day, the other kids would be playing for 2nd.

That said, arguing about what constitutes the Midwest back during the Mark Hall saga was great fun. I'd rather Pa be lumped with (and it should be lumped with) Delmarva, NY, Jersey, etc than with lumpen proletariat-land like Ohio or (shudder) Michigan.

The best one ever was when Fieri ate scrambled eggs with brains, gagged, and tried to clear the taste with a handful from the closest plate -- which turned out to be Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Jammen, where did you get your profile pic of Tognetti?
