by lulu0418 at Citysearch

The Extras:
From June through the end of September, Danny Meyer (owner of famed nearby restaurants Tabla and 11 Madison Park) is slinging peppery Chicago-style hot dogs at his stand in the park from 11am-3pm, Monday through Friday. All proceeds go to the park.
Where to Eat:
After a walk in the park, grab a bite at the stylish yet casual Bread Bar at Tabla.
