Where to stay during Harry Styles's MSG residency:

Harry himself will likely be staying in his plush penthouse apartment down in Tribeca, but you can get some pre-MSG rest at the M Social Hotel Times Square, which has transformed one of its guest rooms into a one-of-a-kind Harry Styles-inspired suite for the full span of the NYC concert run with colorful bedding, vinyl records, posters of the star and a "Golden"-themed aesthetic. The property's rooftop lounge, Beast & Butterflies, is also getting in on the fun with a "Golden Hour" cocktail, made with strawberry, citrus, and a Tajín rim. The "Golden Hour Styles Concert Package" also helpfully includes a late 1pm checkout, because you will be tired from all of that "Aperture" dancing. And it's all just a 10-block walk from the concert venue!

Virgin Hotels New York is also offering a limited-time hotel package tied to the MSG residency: "Adore You, NYC" will include Harry Styles-themed cupcakes delivered straight to your guest room, two complimentary drinks at the hotel's restaurant-bar Everdene, early check-in and late check-out, and $50 off a rejuvenating treatment at exhale Spa.

Where to eat and drink during Harry Styles's MSG residency:

Over the years, Styles has been spotted at NYC Italian restaurants like midtown's Lattanzi Cucina Italiana and downtown's Rubirosa, as well as at the private member's club Chez Margaux in Meatpacking, so you can certainly use the star's own eating habits for your pre-concert dining plans. 

There are also several themed food-and-drink specials happening around town to celebrate the big concert run. BLACKBARN Restaurant in NoMad is welcoming Harry Styles super-fans with a full pre-show experience including themed dishes, "Watermelon Sugar" cocktails, a dedicated soundtrack and photo opportunities with a life-sized Harry Styles cut-out.

And if you've got a sweet tooth, there will also be Harry-themed desserts inside the Garden itself: Baked by Melissa's MSG kiosk (on the 100-Level Concourse near Section 118) will be offering a limited-edition Harry Styles-inspired cupcake pack throughout the 30-night residency. The special will include six "Disco" cupcakes made with a pink vanilla cake base, chocolate icing and white chocolate brittly covered with silver sugar crystals.
