We had tickets to the Knicks vs. Jazz game Monday Night at Madison Square Garden. We decided on our way to the game that we should try out a Korean restaurant called Mandoo. Mandoo is the Korean version of potstickers, or Gyoza. Here's the sign, you can't see it very well.
The front of the restaurant. It was a small little place but nicer than what I was expecting.
Here's Scott eating a side dish of turnips while waiting for our mandoo. We ordered the pork and vegetable Mandoo--it was really good!

We ordered the pork and vegetable Mandoo--it was really good!We ordered Bulgogi Bi Bim Bop for our main course. I think that's what it was called or something like that--Scott would know but he's not here to correct me right now :) It's rice with a bunch of vegetables a little meat, some egg, and some red pepper sauce. It came to our table sizzling and our server mixed it all up for us. He asked how spicy we wanted it, Scott said medium so it wouldn't be too hot for me but it still was pretty spicy, but good!
Then... off to the Knicks game! When we got to the game we had to keep going up all these escalators because our seats were at the very top. I thought we were going to be so high up but we really weren't. It's not like the delta center (ESA now) where it's pretty steep, it's just wider. So we actually had better seats than we thought---yay for cheap seats that you can still see from! We were excited to see the Jazz play! (no we didn't go to see the Knicks)
A picture of us in our seats
Right before the game
Scott with his binoculars---it was cool to look through them it was like you were sitting right on the court:)
A Canadian Flag was hanging right by the US Flag. I took a picture for my brother Cam on his mission in Canada--it made me think of him:) Yay Canada!
On the way to the game I told Scott, I hope we see someone famous at the game... and we did! During a break in the game. The theme song to The Office started playing and there was a picture on the big screen of Kevin from the office and then it changed to a video of him in his seat at the game! I was excited! We looked through the binoculars until we found him. Sure enough we found him--and I took a picture from our seats. See it below, he's the guy with the bald head. We didn't get to meet him because he was seated in the special section and we weren't but I still think it was pretty cool!

At the end it was tied up and stressful... but... the Jazz ended up winning by 2 points! Yay! Good ending!
After the game we wanted to get out as fast as we could to avoid the crowds. As soon as the game ended we opened the door to the stairwell and ran down the stairs instead of taking the escalators. We got out so fast! A piece of advice--the stairs are quicker, most people won't use them. We got to the subway stop and we hear beeping coming from Scott's pocket.
Side Story: Scott's been holding a pager that the medical students rotate through carrying. It's a transplant pager so if a transplant needs to happen at the hospital whoever has the pager will get paged and get to go watch the transplant.
Back to the story....
Scott pulls out the pager and it's going off. We have to stop before going through the Subway gates for him to call the hospital. He talked to them and found out he needed to be at the hospital in an hour and he'd be watching a lung transplant. We rushed home, he changed into scrubs and he left to go. This was about 11:00 pm so I went to bed. At 6:00 am I get a call from Scott asking me to open the door. Needless to say, Scott didn't get much sleep last night:) I'll have him write all about it when he has some time.
Yeah...last night was a crazy night!
