All he does is Lin. Here's 23 places where you can take in and celebrate the Knicks improbable 23 y.o. point guard phenom. #17 on the court, #1 in NYC's heart. Food, drinks (booze/ not) and gear.
1221 Avenue of the Americas (at W 49th St), New York, NY
Steakhouse · Theater District · 339 tips and reviews
Gradie Oakes: You probably won't get the standing ovation that Jeremy and Landry Fields got last week, but you can slice up a Kobe just like #17 did last week. http://deadsp.in/yV3xAD
Taiwanese Restaurant · East Village · 293 tips and reviews
Gradie Oakes: Count on the Chairman to have Linsanity. Order the Te-Bao: Taiwanese pork chop with curry seasoning, pickled daikon-carrot, jalapeno, aioli and cilantro, served in a Bao. $3.95 of awesome.
Gradie Oakes: 6 NYC locations but this one is where the original Garden used to be. Order up a Lin-Mint shake but get there early...they run out! Pro-tip: if you only want a drink, use the C line.
3 Doyers St (btwn Bowery & Chatham Sq), New York, NY
Taiwanese Restaurant · Chinatown · 90 tips and reviews
Gradie Oakes: Best Chinese-Taiwanese place in the city. Kind of like how Jeremy is the best Chinese-Taiwanese descended basketball player in the world. Beef soup is Linsane.
60 E 65th St (btwn Park & Madison Ave), New York, NY
French Restaurant · Upper East Side · 191 tips and reviews
Gradie Oakes: Call in all your markers and figure out how to snag the Sky Box for the big game. Daniel will crush your stomach while Jeremy crushes the Nets dreams for relevancy.
Gradie Oakes: Two spots, the UES is the best. $10 pitchers, rotating happy hour specials, $6 LIN-Sanitinis (they might have blue curacao and an orange slice...Go Knicks). Don't forget to order frickles.
Gradie Oakes: Thank David Stern for nuking the Lakers/ Rockets trade. If that had happened who knows where Jeremy would have would up. Most likely not running the point for the Knicks. #Linsanity.
Gradie Oakes: Be nice, dress well, and you might get in. Landry and Jeremy have been known to drop by with Knicks execs. But be like Jeremy and keep it classy. Word is he's a ONE Bud Light man. #Linsanity.
Bubble Tea Shop · Greenwich Village · 147 tips and reviews
Gradie Oakes: Southern China's favorite tea house, and one of the three locations in the U.S. Grab an amazing bubble tea and be on your way. #Linsanity.
1556 2nd Ave (btwn E 80th & E 81st St), New York, NY
Mexican Restaurant · Yorkville · 219 tips and reviews
Gradie Oakes: Don't ask why the best taco place in the city has a Lin Burger, but they do. 8oz. custom ground beef, black bean chili, chili relleno, queso fresco, avocado aioli and chipotle on a brioche. #Linsanity
