ZenFoodster: I'd lose a fortune & gain a ton if I lived any closer...The most heavenly, delicate macarons have arrived from Paris to NYC: orange blossom, rose & ginger, blackcurrant violet, & many more.
Barrett Lane: Salted caramel, rose petal, and vanilla are the best flavors. Worth the long waits indeed.
Angela: Salted caramel & rose are my absolute favs!
Martha: always a great spot when you want local produce, eggs, flowers and the like. go early...it gets packed as the day goes on and items run out too.
Celena Chan: Great for people watching, artisan cheese, fresh flowers and local fruits and baked goods. Can be a bit expensive and crowded, but it's always nice to support local when possible!
Sophie Omnom: Huge variety of food stalls, with organic and fresh produce, homemade sauces and jams, local honey, flowers, and much more
Liana Lau: There are three gardens - the Italian one (with a beautiful pergola), the French one (with lovely tulips & roses), and the English one (with its own "secret" garden!)
Paige C: Gorgeous oasis in the middle of Central Park! Dog friendly! Beautiful flowers and plants. Best of all? Free!
Johan Sanmartin: Excellent garden. Maintenance does an amazing job of caring for all the trees, bushes, and flowers. Especially beautiful during the summers. Still, very elegant during the fall and winter months.

Andreana Bitsis: Get the rose macarons, to die for.
Joanne Pang: Cute cafe with a more extensive food, drink, and dessert menu. Try a rose, vanilla, or pistachio macaron -- or all three!
honeywhatscooking.com: Rose macaron is amazing. Ambience gorgeous. Service is poor. Took them ten mins just to get milk for coffee. Also, coffee wasn't hot. Not impressed.
Jordan Brettholz: Best flower and plant shop in the city. Gorgeous arrangements! Excellent staff, extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and pros at putting together arrangements of your choice! All around A+!
Vitaliy Borkovskiy: My favorite flowers http://agronomist.in.ua/ Read more.
Tia: Best prices, selection and plant expertise on the Upper West Side. We have two florists on our block at Lexington in the 90s but this is the flower shop I go to for all my flower needs.
sarah lipman: open Tuesday and Thursday at 12-6right now they have amazingly delicious roses!
Gothamist: Stop by this secret garden, and slow your pace—allow the birds to drown out the city noise for a brief moment. There are benches, a rose garden, koi pond with waterfall, and a greenhouse. Read more.
María Fernández: Un lugar precioso donde descansar sentado y admirando las flores. Tip: llega la wifi de una biblioteca cercana.

om malik: Try the rose flavored chai. amazing
J Crowley: This place is like the cocktail bar of teas. Smell all the varieties and ask a ton of questions. You a tea noob like me? Go vanilla rose chai - it's nice n' sweet.
Mike Singleton: Get the rose chai if they have it. If you're with others note that they make them one at a time, roughly 5 minutes per drink. Take a walk around the block, it's a beautiful neighborhood.
Omar Loggia: Originalmente, este hermoso jardín era un jardín de flores llamado “Jardín Corazón”. Fue rediseñado y renombrado como “Jardín Shakespeare” -
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: Shakespeare's Garden is definitely a serene must-stop location on your Central Park visit! Filled with plants and flowers mentioned in Shakespeare's plays and poems. Perfect for couples or for reading
Mike Kowalczyk: Surprisingly quiet on a summer afternoon. Great place to escape the city.
