MARCH GARDEN PARTY
For the last 25 years, early March has marked a time of pilgrimage for tens of thousands of people. Originally, they would come primarily from the mid-Atlantic states with an occasional band of outliers. Now they flock from the midwest, upstate NY, and as far south as Kentucky. All converge on 7th Avenue in midtown Manhattan at a place called The Garden, where over the course of four days they will cheer for teams of men who will run a single-elimination gauntlet with one goal: to be named the Mens College Basketball Big East Tournament Champions. This year's tournament begins Wednesday at noon. All games can be seen on ESPN.
Full disclosure: I have a rooting interest in the tournament, although I'll try to remain impartial in my commentary here.
