Madison Square Garden kicked off its MSG Eats event Tuesday for the start of the New York Knicks and New York Rangers season.

The event featured more than 70 food stands throughout the arena.

Some former Knicks and Rangers players also attended the event and got a taste of some of the new available selections.

"The food's great. I mean, you got all these restaurants here and all this incredible food. You got the Carnegie Deli," said former Ranger Brian Mullen.

"Fans truly enjoy what the Garden brings from that experience right there. You get a chance to come in and relax, get a good meal," said former Knicks player John Starks.

"When you go out to any sporting event...you don't expect the food to be good other than fries and a hot dog or chicken fingers, and here we provide the real restaurant experience," said hospitality member Ralph Scamarbella, of the Toa Group.
