One of the only attractions that can make us willing to face the horrors of midtown. Bryant Park is a staple of the city and a wonderful spot to steal away during the work day or while sightseeing. We are in love with the New York Public Library located at Bryant Park and love the accessibility of dining options on the surrounding streets, making Bryant Park the perfect place to enjoy an outdoor meal or grab a coffee with someone (better yet, grab a Culture cookie from 36th). Every holiday season, the Bryant Park Winter Village sets up shop and that's when things really come to life here. We love the abundance of vendors and holiday cheer that floods into the park (particularly obsessed with Destination Dumpling + the Truffleist) and an absolute must when exploring New York for the holiday season, especially with it being a perfect walking distance to One Vanderbilt, Macy's and Rockefeller Center.
