We visited the Bryant Park this afternoon to enjoy the beautiful weather. We enjoyed our outdoor seating and relaxed for a while we enjoyed some lunch. This is a very relaxing Park near the downtown area of Manhattan. It's also a very popular place for the locals and their is plenty of outdoor seating. This afternoon it wasn't very busy, but I'm sure it gets crowded probably during the weekend.

Ice rink, seats, putting green, food and drink, a great space in the heart of the city. Very busy at lunchtime. All the office workers go outside here. It’s really a wonderful little park.

Bryant Park is a lovely green area in the middle of wild New York. As soon as you step in you feel transported to another, beautiful world. There is a French touch to it and the place is full of visitors enjoying their time. There are many seats to rest in and on the day we visited there was a huge chess competition!. There are cafes and other activities people can do. There is a lot of history in this park as well.

Bryant Park in the middle of New York is like a little oasis in the desert of hustle and bustle. It provides you with a spot to sit down, grab a coffee, and browse through some local specialty shops that display everything from handbags to jewellery. We were also lucky enough to be able to go ice skating on the rink in the middle of the park and it was great fun and very cheap as we only had to pay for skate hire. It was a very enjoyable way to spend a hour and there were plenty of shops selling something to eat and drink afterwards. It was good fun and there were lots of families doing it as well. Right in the heart of New York. Brilliant!

Bryant Park is worth a visit anytime of year, but especially during the holidays. In November and December they put out the Christmas Village, tree, and ice skating rink. There are lots of food options, shopping, and free public restrooms that are staffed and cleaned. The park itself is centrally located and an easy walk to 5th Avenue, Time Square, NY Public Library, and many other touristy spots. It’s very busy on the weekends

Fun to walk all the small shops in the park but very crowded and a bit disorganized if you are not from the area. Never did find the carousel…probably could have looked longer but did find the skating rink and plenty of vendors. Fun free stop this time of year.

Came here on Black Friday to stroll around the winter/Christmas Village. Wow, was it crowded! There were lines for everything and it was hard to walk around and enjoy it. Shame because it was really cute and I would have loved to try some of the food vendors - some had lines of 15-30 people and there was no where available to sit in eat. I would suggest you come with your patience, pocketbook and not on an empty stomach!

Our hotel was just blocks from here, and I completely fell in love with this darling park. We were in town for the Thanksgiving Parade, so the Christmas market was already set up. Do yourself a favor, get the apple cider and especially the apple cider donuts!

I visited Bryant Park in October 2023 as I wanted to check out New York Public Library. It's really easy to find as it's in Midtown and the New York streets are fairly easy to navigate. When I arrived I found the whole area covered with stalls that were sadly closed as well as possible locations for bars. It seems they were getting an early start on the Christmas markets and although not yet open infrastructure was being put in place. There were benches and the stalls were tastefully set up around the trees. Hope it goes well.

We've been here at multiple times and seasons. This particular visit was in december and there were countless vendors in mini huts making it the perfect setting for Christmas shopping. Lots of food and beverage options (with cool igloo domes)as well as a beautful ice skating rink. The Christmas tree is a beautiful touch.
