Get Picnic Ready in Flatiron

We’ve rounded up picnic-ready food options within the district for your next socially-distanced date. Enjoy the summer sun in Madison Square Park, or have an indoor picnic on a rainy day, and support local businesses while you’re at it!

Blackbarn’s Picnic Basket
Blackbarn’s new picnic baskets offer gourmet charcuterie and cheese (three of each) plus fruits, nuts, and pickles, and house-made double chocolate cherry cookies. You then add two food items of your choice (a selection of sandwiches and salads) and a bottle of wine or cocktails for two. All baskets come with two cutlery packs, napkins, salt & pepper, and wet towelettes, so you don’t have to prepare a thing.

Bourke Street Bakery’s Pastries & Savory Dishes
The Australian bakery offers a variety of pastries, savory dishes like a ham and cheese baguette, quiche, and a Smoked Salmon toast, plus 4-packs of craft beer and cider. BSB is closed on Mondays, but open for takeaway from 9 am to 3 pm daily, and you can preorder.
