Madison Square Park

Did you know that in 1876, the Statue of Liberty’s right arm and torch was put on display here for 6 years in an effort to raise funding to complete the statue’s construction? This park has played a pivotal role in much of NYC's history!

Your tour guide will explain the historical significance of this important park. You will also get to experience the popular Greenmarket (except Thursdays & Sundays), street vendors, protestors, break dancers, Krishna followers chanting and city dwellers enjoying lunch or a stroll through the park.

We had such an amazing time on the tour! We were part of a small group, all made up of locals. Somehow we all managed to learn many new facts about the food and architecture and overall history of the area. I passed through Flatiron everyday for many years and never noticed some of the small details of history. The food itself was also great and very filling that I could barely finish.

Very informative, entertaining and enjoyable architecture history tour. Our guide Laura was very knowledgable about the history of the buildings, the billionaires and architects who built the gilded age. A comfortable walking pace with good interaction.
