About Madison Park

Madison Square is a public square formed by the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway at 23rd Street in the New York City borough of Manhattan. The square was named for Founding Father James Madison, the fourth president of the United States. The focus of the square is Madison Square Park, a 6.2-acre (2.5-hectare) public park, which is bounded on the east by Madison Avenue ; on the south by 23rd Street; on the north by 26th Street; and on the west by Fifth Avenue and Broadway as they cross.

This was all the fault of this guy called Oscar Spate. He was like a wheeler dealer, wanted to make some money, decided to move some rocking chairs into Central Park, place them all over it. It was Central and Madison Park, in fact, place them everywhere. The moment people sat in one, he installed henchmen, just hiding out of sight, who would leap in front of you and say that'll be five cents, please.
