A View of Knicks Parade Is Hottest Office Perk in NYC

Press Room

New York office workers faced a dilemma on Thursday: Go to work or the historic Knicks parade. Why not both?

While crowds swarmed into lower Manhattan for a chance to watch the New York Knicks NBA Championship parade, some workers were able to enjoy the action from the comfort of their office.

The parade’s route made working out of a building overlooking Broadway in the financial district the hottest office perk on Thursday.

And while some New York office building windows don’t open, many on older buildings do — offering a chance to toss confetti or hear the full volume of the crowd’s chants.

Employees quickly took advantage of the coveted elevated viewing angle, with some hanging out of their building’s windows.

The only catch for office workers: You had to first get to your building, which meant navigating jam-packed subways and closed-off streets.

It’s been 53 years since the New York Knicks last won an NBA Championship. The Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in the Finals.

Here are more photos from the revelry:
