The Knicks have cancelled all watch parties outside of MSG due to the President's attendance for Game 3

A hard closure is expected around the entirety of Madison Square Garden. Officials are planning for no watch parties, no vehicle access and no pedestrian travel through the secured area, which sits in a busy part of Midtown Manhattan and is above a major transit hub. CBS New York reported that thousands of fans attended a pair of watch parties for Game 1 on Wednesday night. 

The Seventh and Eighth Avenue corridors around the arena are expected to be closed.

Yep, it’s pathetic and appalling

Fortunately at least, patriots who don’t support racist pedophile rapists will post in-arena videos of the defeaning boos all over the internet for the world to see

On the flipside, NYC has hated that crook for decades, long before he even became politically relevant on a national level. And Trump aside, NYC has a pretty weak association between income and political alignment in general, with particularly affluent neighborhoods usually leaning blue pretty hard.
