Madison Square Garden sits directly above Penn Station at 4 Pennsylvania Plaza — Seventh Avenue between West 31st and 33rd Streets — which is why it is the easiest arena in the country to reach without a car: the 1/2/3 and A/C/E stop underneath it, the B/D/F/M/N/Q/R are a block east at Herald Square, and LIRR, NJ Transit and Amtrak all arrive in the station below. The Garden hosts Knicks and Rangers home games, concerts and the arena tour; the Infosys Theater at MSG, in the same building, runs the smaller concerts, comedy and residencies. Doors and the Chase entrances are on the Eighth Avenue side.
