Madison Square Park

"Madison Square Park is brilliantly located. It's just seven blocks from the Empire State Building and right next to the intriguing Flatiron Building. MSP is surrounded by great restaurants and shopping stores (lego store, Harry Potter store, lululemon, and plenty more). My suggestion would be grabbing a pastry or sandwich from nearby Maman or Eataly and heading into the park to enjoy the sights and sounds. If you're a little more hungry, you'll have to grab a burger and fries and the original shake shack located within the park. It's parks like MSP, that serve as a nice quiet safe haven from the hustle and bustle from the NYC streets."

"Madison Square Park is a bit more slow paced than Union Square Park and Washington Square Park. If art installations and proximity to Eataly help relax and rejuvenate you, then this is the one for you! "

"Enjoy a shaded stroll, picnic in lush greenery, watch playful pups at the dog run, and catch the perfect view of the Flatiron Building across the street."
