This park is next to the famed NYC library . Great place to chill and eat, read, people watch . There is outdoor kiosk that has books for your perusal and a cafe and a couple of pastry kiosks.

I love Bryant Park pretty much anytime however, as the crowds lessen after the holidays but you still have the awesome ice rink is one of the nicest times. It's a good way to spend a winter day.

Matthew Caldecutt

It's a bit crowded with the ice skating rink in the winter, but it's the perfect place to work outdoors in warm weather.

Alma A.

Want to hear the hustle & bustle of NYC? This is it. Unlike other NYC parks that give you a little bit of peace & quite, Bryant Park is the only park where you can hear all the sounds of NYC.

Paige C

Grab a table with friends and enjoy your lunch in this beautiful landmark of a park . They now have so many different sporting activities and games to play - it's awesome!

A hidden treasure slapped in the middle of Midtown. Perfect in size and just right for a tourist , native New Yorkers & anyone who desire a sense of greenery . There's always something fun to see and do

Aileen Wong

There's lots of things to love about this park - free classes , the ability to always find a table, and people watching . But don't miss their annual musical chairs event . It brings out the kid inside.

Walk through the park daily! It is being taken care of and you can see that. It looks clean and safe. Grill/coffee place is on my list, and really like the initiative of playing games in spring/summer

Christmas fair during Christmas time , movies at the park during summer and grabbing something for lunch at the park or just sit and enjoy... great place at any time.

This place is great for watching table tennis matches and scowling at all the selfie-taking tourists . When you're not doing that, the Reading Room is great for reading books and book events .

Take a breather in Bryant Park. Ice skating in the winter, outside movies in the summer, all surrounded by gorgeous architecture and yellow cabs. Enjoy the free wifi !

Globetrottergirls Dani

One of my favorite green spaces in Manhattan. Perfect place to rest your legs, enjoy a coffee , read the paper.

Great for a break from the craze of midtown. Still lots of people but somehow manages to stay relaxing. Shops in winter village are always very cute and fun to browse

Marty's V Burger ! Delicious, fast, vegan and affordable ! Open every day until 1/3/16. Burgers , crabby patties, drumstix, Mac and Cheeze. You gotta check this out!

My favorite park in New York City . Cozy . There are 2 good place to stop by and have lunch or drinks. I love the skating ring there at winter time:)

Siobhán

Tends to be packed with tourists but nice when it’s calm . The Christmas market tends to be way too packed though to be pleasurable at all, or practical for shopping.

Lily Abdul
