The view from the western terrace of the NY Public Library presents the main green of Bryant Park, flanked by a perimeter of London Plane trees which buffer the traffic and allow a respite from the surrounding density of Manhattan. Ping pong tables, bocce courts, outdoor dining, kids on a carousel, and an outdoor reading room are perched on the raised perimeter terraces overlooking the passive green. Movable seating, shade or sun, grass or pavers, you pick where you want to relax in the middle of the City’s hustle. Bryant Park does it all. One of many gems that make this city truly special. Don’t miss this attraction on your next visit to NYC.
