This famous burger joint, located in Madison Square Park, is only open during the summers (when the weather is nice outside!) The burgers are the best in NYC, and the shakes are thick and cold, just the way I like them.

Southeast corner of Madison Square Park, Madison Ave @ 23rd Street.

The “Concrete” is fabulous.

Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, Grocery – Zabar’s has been around since 1934, a true NYC landmark. “With a great selection of domestic and international foods, a vast range of innovative cookware and housewares, and the most delicious, gourmet gifts, Zabar’s has indeed earned its reputation as a world-famous destination for all that’s fresh, new, and exciting in the culinary world.”

Not the best pizza in New York City (for that you go to Brooklyn). But, very good pizza nonetheless in the traditional New York Coal-Oven Style. They also serve great salads here.

Try the arugula salad.
They always give warm bread before a meal.

Perhaps the biggest candy store in New York City. Certainly its most colorful, Dylan’s Candy stocks everything from your standard gumball to every color of M&M imaginable.

Your kids will come home crazy!

We were rushed because Svante and his family had to catch the bus so this was the only nearby option for breakfast.

Orange Juice is a rip-off here.
