@newyorkers Column 🤪

It's really starting to feel like summer in NYC! Here's some moments from this week as the city gets outside:

KNICKS PLAYOFFS:

• The Knicks made easy work of rival Philadelphia as they completed a four game sweep in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

• The entire city skyline was lit orange and blue in celebration of the Knicks' playoff success.

• The Knicks sweep was capped by a rout of Philadelphia in Game 4, with Knicks' fans transforming the 76ers' home arena into MSG South.

• Scenes were an equal party outside the Garden after the sweep.

• The last Philadelphia fan left after the sweep tried to stop a young Knicks fan from brooming the grounds around the 76er's arena.

• This NYC baddie went viral after she got stood up because her date was watching the Knicks game.
