We visited Bryant Park in December when the ice rink was out. It is cheaper (free admission and a fee to rent skates) and less crowded than Rockefeller Center. There are several neat shops to look at and we recommend eating at Celcius. It's a bar/restaurant that has outdoor seating (with heaters of course). We went on a weeknight around... more

Bryant Park is a bit of quiet, when compared to places that it neighbours, such as Times Square and 5th Avenue. I went in the winter and the ice rink was set up around the tree and a Christmas Market was offering various crafts to buy. I imagine in the summer it is a lovely little place to stop and... more

During the time leading up to Christmas, there is a great Holiday Market at Bryant Park. During my recent trip, I went there as well as the markets at Grand Central and Union Square. Bryant Park's was the best and easiest to navigate--a great place for unusual gifts for someone special. more

My husband and I stumbled across Bryant Park a few years ago. We used to go to NY to Macy's and to Rockefeller Center to see the tree. Well, one trip we happened to walk up 6th Avenue and stumble upon Bryant Park's Holiday Shops & The Pond. We stopped in and took a look around. Ever since then, we... more

You can "see" all of Bryant Park in 10 minutes but what a waste that would be! Slow down! Spend an hour (at least) and you'll be glad you did! Visit the www.bryantpark.org web site and download their great audio tour to your MP3 player. It's hosted by Matthew Broderick, and he walks with you around the park, giving you... more

Great place just to hang out after site seeing or just to waste a few hours. Nice Deli, and also a bar/grill at the back of the park. Lots of free entertainment. www.bryantpark.org more

We came upon this park on our walk to Rockefeller Plaza and it was a welcome place for a rest. There were plenty of tables and chairs to sit at and if not, there is certainly a big green lawn to sit on! We decided to buy a hotdog from a nearby vendor and stay a while longer in the... more

We came across this park as we had a walk after the show at radio city music hall. What a great park along with the ice rink. We sat and watch the skaters having a great time. I was surprised how long the line was to skate. The small christmas market was good but not as good as the union... more
