Website Directions 212-768-4242

Located in Midtown Manhattan right behind the New York Public Library Main Branch, Bryant Park is a beautifully maintained four-acre urban park. Visitors can relax on the central lawn, grab a bite from local food kiosks, play outdoor games, or attend seasonal events like summer movie nights and the winter market. It offers a lively yet tranquil green escape surrounded by skyscrapers, just steps from Times Square.

Quick tip: Take advantage of the park's remarkably clean public restrooms near 42nd Street, which feature fresh flowers and playing classical music.
