Bryant Park

(186 Ratings)
Picnics, movie screenings, high fashion, and people watching
Bryant Park is situated behind the New York Public Library in midtown Manhattan, between 40th and 42nd Streets & Fifth and Sixth Avenues. It's the perfect place to people watch, catch an outdoor summer movie, have a hot chocolate at the Christmas Market in the winter, or take an afternoon stroll.

Landmark

Not only in the center of town, but close to everything touristy. You can start by the NYPL, NYU, Lord and Taylor, 5th Avenue, etc. They always have something going on that will catch your eye or you may run into someone that will take your breath away.

watch movies in the summer

They have a great movie series on Monday nights all summer long. It's crowded but great to go with a group of friends.

The perfect lunch spot

I often take my lunch break in Bryant Park. Great people watching, plenty of sunshine, lots of table space. Their outdoor movies in the summer are always a lot of fun.
