Incredible headline: No walking allowed in heart of Midtown for Monday's Knicks game







The secure zone starts at 4 p.m. and covers the area between 30th and 35th streets and Seventh and Eighth avenues. The Knicks also said that a strict no-bag policy will be in place for Monday night's game, and you can expect "TSA-level security" for entry.

Sorry, Knicks fans: No Madison Square Garden watch party tonight.

You won't even be able to walk close.

The NYPD and U.S. Secret Service announced another spate of street closures and security measures in anticipation of President Donald Trump's historic trip to the Knicks' NBA Finals game.

No sitting president has ever attended an NBA Finals. And the security will be pretty historic, too.


Starting at 4 p.m., 30th to 35th streets will be closed between Seventh and Eighth avenues. That means no vehicular traffic -- and no pedestrian traffic either. .......................................
