The unofficial start of summer is just around the corner — and with it the opening of New York City beaches. New York City beaches, and those across the tri-state area, open for the summer season on the Saturday before Memorial Day. They will remain open until early September. All 14 miles of city-run beaches in the five boroughs are free and open to the public. Lifeguards will be on duty daily, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Swimming is prohibited when lifeguards are not on duty and in closed sections, which are marked with signs or red flags. Every day during beach season, each beach is classified based on its sanitary conditions, which also impacts whether a section is closed or if swimming is limited. Below is what each color-coded signs displayed at every beach indicate: Open — swimming and wading is permitted (green) Advisory — swimming and wading is permitted, but not recommended (yellow) Closed — swimming and wading is not permitted (red) See a full list of NYC beaches here.

Stephen A. Smith reveals his honest feelings after watching the New York Knicks lose Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

After blowing a cushy 14-point lead with 2:45 in regulation, Jalen Brunson and co. ended up losing game one of the 2025 Eastern Conference Finals in overtime to the fiery Indiana Pacers by a score of 138-135 at NYC’s rowdy Madison Square Garden.

Tyrese Haliburton scored 31 points and made a game-tying jumper to force overtime and the Pacers rallied for a 138-135 Game 1 win over the Knicks.

Jalen Brunson and Karl Anthony-Towns were both spectacular on offense, netting 78 total points between them. New York won both the battle of the boards and the free throw line, and led the contest after the first, second and third quarters before stretching out its biggest lead of the night late in the fourth.

The New York Knicks lost in overtime in game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers. The loss left Knicks' ardent fanatic Stephen A. Smith fuming.

Tyrese Haliburton scored 31 points and Aaron Nesmith added 30, helping the visiting Indiana Pacers rally for a 138-135 overtime victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.

While the Knicks are known for the stellar play in the clutch from Jalen Brunson, Tyrese Haliburton has had his fair share of signature moments in the postseason, and Indiana's conditioning puts them in a ripe spot to upset the Knicks.
