A New York night: the World Cup may be in town but the Knicks rule in Manhattan

Manhattan experienced a historic night as New York Knicks fans celebrated ending a 53-year NBA title drought, overshadowing World Cup festivities. At John Doe’s bar, crowds gathered to watch Brazil and Morocco, with Vinícius Júnior scoring an equaliser against Ismael Saibari.
