    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.

    Classic movie showings during the summer, ice-skating during the winter. A busy calendar of events every day of the year for the most crowded and very well kept urban park of Manhattan. Read more

    One of the best parks of NY. Have a coffee near, listen to music or just relax in the lawn. Check calendar for summer events (they're free!)

    Manhattan's only formal French garden design, ringed by noble architecture including Raymond Hood's American Radiator Building and The New York Public Library. A soothing respite from the hectic city.

    Lots of activities going on throughout the year. Since it is located at the heart of the city, always a great spot to take a rest when you are around.

    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.

    There was absolutely no one here since it was raining. Usually it is crowded and full of life. I loved it there.

    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.

    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.

    This place never fails to impress me. Probably my best park in the big apple. Yoga classes, live music, nice surroundings, books and great waffle place, could you ask for more?

    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.

    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

    Significantly cheaper then Rockefeller + amazing view of the city. It's $15 to rent skates so if you bring your own and a lock for a locker you can skate free!

    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

    Beautiful park. Has a few food outlets in the actual park, and even a cocktail bar. Free WiFi is a bonus. Although none of the USB charging ports seem to work.

    Bring your own skates and it’s free! No need to reserve online. Just go to box office and get a ticket for the next available slot (5-15mins). No bags/backpacks allowed. $ for a locker. Skate all day!

    This park is an excellent place to people watch. In winter there is a skating rink and during summer the great lawn dominates it. Around it is ICP, big buildings, etc, it's a great photo spot.

    Awesome chess players, public toilets, some good street performers, dudes who like pigeons and topless girls. A lot going on. What's not to like?

    If you're going for a night movie or concert, bring pillows and a blanket or jacket to put on top of you. It gets chilly hanging out on the grass with or without a blanket to sit on.

    Amazing park. Tiny, but lively and packed with activities. Ping pong, reading room, and a carrousel to name a few. Plus lots of great food options. My favourite spot in Manhattan.

    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.

    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

    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.

    There's something different about this park. It's a great place to walk around just about any time of the year. A little green patch of joy among NY's sky scrapers.
