hizzah, and well... i finally gotta round to smackin'em up to be blogged. so... here we go. virtual tour n'stuff.
the park is 1/2 a block from my office building. its called "madison square park" and its located between 5th and madison ave on the avenue side and between 23rd and 26th on the street side.
here's one of the little entrance cornerstones:
thats william h. seward. plaque says "governor. us senator. secretary of state"
madison square park is the spot where the statue of liberty's right hand and torch stood for years while they were trying to raise funds for the entire statue, and its pedestal.
the park is
not the home of the famed sporting arena, madison square garden. at least, not anymore.
the current MSG is about 10 blocks away, above penn station. however, the park was the home of the
original (and second) madison square gardens.
aside from that, its really, simply, just a big, beautiful park, with amazing scenery on every side. here's the empire state building, thru the trees.
