More interesting than the life-less sculptures in around and above Madison Square Park, are the lithe bodies in Madison Square Park — dog-walking, book reading, and queuing up for snacks.
Shack Shack is located at the South East corner of Madison Square Park, which is located at 23rd Street and Madison Avenue.

Three hours and 160 Miles from New York is the southernmost tip of New Jersey and it’s worth a visit.
The beaches are pristine, the waves are lapping, and porpoises are at play in the waves, up and down the shoreline.
Enjoy.

Menu for a Sunny Day ~ NYC
Finally, we are in for a lovely week of weather. Whether you are able to take advantage of this weather with a little time to play, or just sneak out of work in time to see the sun set, Bryant Park offers several types of fun in midtown
For lunch or dinner, the Bryant Park Grill offers a healthful menu in the structured and green garden behind the NYC Public Library. Less lovely, less pricey and less healthful is neighboring Bryant Park Cafe. Alternately gourmet snacks are available at the northwest corner of the park from ‘witchcraft.
Mondays in the summer enjoy Bryant Park’s Summer Film Festival, tonight featuring Breaking Away.
The lawn opens at 5:00pm for blankets and picnicking. The films begin at sunset (typically between 8pm and 9pm).
A teenage cyclist, Dennis Christopher, is besotted with all things Italian in a small Indiana college town. Things seem to be going nowhere for him and his townie buddies (Dennis Quaid, Jackie Earle Haley, and Daniel Stern), and he convinces them to take on the students at the Little 500 bicycle race. Flawlessly written by Steve Tesich and directed by Peter Yates. (1979) 100 Min. (Fox)
