Met Life Tower
Highlight • Monument
In the 19th century, the Madison Square Park area was considered one of the most desirable addresses in the city. In the '90s it was a drug hub and an area best avoided.
Since 2001, thanks to the Madison Square Park Conservancy, much has been redesigned, events created for artists and a Shake Shack restaurant built in the middle of the park.
The park owes its name to James Madison, the fourth President of the United States.
