LIRR got these brothers to Knicks' Game 1
Adam and Andrew Ayroso, of Bethpage, were in good spirits Tuesday when they took the LIRR to Game 1 of the Knicks’ Eastern Conference Finals game with the Cavaliers.
But a day earlier? There was serious doubts and their father was concerned their commute would be a lot worse.
“We worried we’d have to drive in and that would take a couple of hours,” Adam said at Penn Station.
Instead they arrived 90 mins before tipoff in Knicks jerseys. Andrew Ayroso was glad because he’s been to plenty of Knicks games and it could’ve been a strain both arriving and leaving the city.
Having the LIRR back made him appreciate how many people have to commute to and from Long Island to Manhattan. The brothers could now focus on more important matters, such as if the Knicks would win Tuesday.
Yet they also supported the LIRR union and weren’t upset they went on strike just before a pivotal playoff game.
“I hope that people got what they asked for,” Adam said.
