From the Alamo to the NBA Finals: Tina Cervasio sets the stage for Game 1
FOX 5 NY's Tina Cervasio joined Newsroom Live from San Antonio, talking Knicks with Dan Bowens ahead of Game 1.
NEW YORK CITY - The Knicks aren't just playing for the city's pride on Wednesday night, they're playing for its fans' bar tabs.
What we know:
The Jeffrey is giving fans a $100 discount off their bar tabs if the Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
"Come watch Game 1 of the NBA Finals at The Jeffrey on Wednesday. If the Knicks win, we’ll pick up your tab!!" the Upper East Side bar posted on social media.
The offer is only valid during the game for customers who arrive before tip-off at 8:30 p.m.
The backstory:
This isn't the first time The Jeffrey has offered a winning promotion.
During the Eastern Conference Finals, the bar ended up slashing bills by 37% after the Knicks claimed a 130-93 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers during Game 4.
That's when Kalshi, the prediction market, stepped in to offer the bar a safety net: a $13,000 payout if the Knicks win Game 1, which would cover most of Wednesday's $100 promo cost.
