The Best Sandwiches For A Park Picnic - New York - The Infatuation

"Don't bother waiting around on line during the lunch rush at S&P. Instead, place a pick-up order for a reuben with corned beef, or maybe a pastrami sandwich, then take your food to Madison Square Park. The reuben isn't so messy that you need a table, but still appropriately saucy from the combination of Russian dressing and swiss cheese on toasty rye bread." - willa moore, will hartman, bryan kim, sonal shah

Where Chef Stefano Secchi Goes in New York

"A place where Chef Secchi spends his day off with his kids." - Nancy DePalma

"There are two main reasons to visit this small midtown park, which takes up the three city blocks between Madison and Fifth avenues from 23rd to 26th streets. The first is that its lawns, benches and temporary art installations all have views of the dramatic Flatiron Building—the wedge-shaped tower made famous in Alfred Stieglitz’s 1903 photo. The second draw is the original location of Danny Meyer’s now legion Shake Shack chain—where the ShackBurgers and frozen-custard milkshakes are worth waiting in line for."
