A beautiful place to sit and enjoy a meal. We visited in the evening, as well as the morning. In the evening, you’ll find that it’s a quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle of Times Square a few steps away. In the morning, you may find people playing La Boule or reading their newspapers. We purchased coffee and breakfast...

Owner description:
Bryant Park has a French-style merry-go-round, open year-round, plus a well-maintained lawn, with chairs and tables. The outdoor Reading Room has picture books and summertime story times. In winter. Take a spin on the free ice-skating rink. The park also has clean bathrooms, a rarity in midtown.

After each day of a long tour in Manhattan, I tend to have a rest at Bryant Brilliant park, love the atmosphere and nice summer breeze. I love it way more than central park.

Free Ice Skating in the winter, movies in the summer; There is always something going on here. Its a wonderful place to eat lunch when you are in midtown. There is a "reading room" with books and magazines, ping pong tables, bacche courts and occasional musical performances.Check out the Library while you are there.

Located behind the New York Public library, this is a nice place to relax and people watch. It is one of the few green spaces in Midtown until you get to Central Park going uptown. Their are a lot chairs to sit and several places around the edge of the park to get food and drinks.

The park was a-buzz with locals basking in the sun! We enjoyed "Mother's Day" brunch at the Bryant Park Restaurant! Great menu and the food was fantastic!

Are you looking for a nice place where to get out of the city rush? Bryant Park is the perfect place. Not that quiet as Central Park considering the dimension of this green block and the short distance from the avenues, but it still represent the perfect place where to take a cool break in the heart of Midtown. You...

Everyone loves Central Park - who wouldn't? But for a more cozy and relaxed scene, Bryant Park is my all-time favorite. Running on the grass barefoot, a $2 carousel ride and a beautiful fountain. What more could you want? Every time we go here, I feel like we are in Paris. So lovely.

On a Sunday with the temperature around 68 and bright blue skies this park was absolutely crowded and great for people watching. It would have been a great for Seurat to do a painting! It is easy to see why people are drawn to the spot especially on a nice day.

Just down the road from our hotel, this park was a great place to stop and take 10 mins out. Very pretty and peaceful. It is only a small park so don't know whether I would say people should visit it if they are not in the area, but is definitely worth a quick visit if you are in the...
