This is my first time I see this park so empty, specially now, Christmas season. I had such fun ice-skating because of that! Not crowded, they are taking all the precautions to keep all of us safe.

One of the must see Parks in N.Y.C.It was a nice scene during the Holday Season to observe a skating rink and a Holiday Shop. %95 of people were wearing mask. Social distance was not followed . Its good to see people enjoying themselves, creating a moment. I definitely recommend this Park in the big

I enjoyed a nice chocolate, espresso and donuts with my best friend. There are tables around where you can sit and relax. Also An skating ring is open to the public. Nice place to hang

The winter village at Bryant Park is one of my favorite places near the end of the year. Theres ice skating and cool little holiday shops. Its a great place to hangout and there are activities to attend such as juggling class. The amenities including the restrooms are also top notch!

One of the great place to visit in New York! Tons of shops around the area and there were also food stalls scattered with delicious and tasty snacks. People wear mask and social distancing was followed. I enjoyed watching people around while eating snacks I bought. Theres an ice skating and some game stations that people love. I had fun watching them. I will definitely come back here!

The park was neat and clean . No complaints. If I had the time I would have taken a seat to enjoy nature.Update: The winter village is here. The holiday shops are open and the ice is ready. I have enjoyed coming here year after year.

I went to my friend holiday booth. Havent been to Bryant Park in years. Really nice. Had lunch the crowds was manageable. Everyone wore a mask.

The winter village is open! It was crowded, but everyone was wearing masks. We ordered some drinks and sat and watched the ice skating. It is such a welcomed experience that will lift your spirits during this hard year. (Go to the bathroom before you visit, the line was LONG)

The early fall days in New York City are best enjoyed outdoors. And Bryant Park could easily top the list if you are looking to step away from the streets or venture outside of your apartment. This is a great place to rest, relax, and contemplate. Grab a cup of coffee on the way here and find a table for a quintessentially New York City experience.

Christmas village and the skating rink are open and fun. Covid keeping the size crowd down to the perfect mix. December 2020

Ice Skating In Bryant Park. (Its free if you have your own pair of ice skates)

Beautiful park to spend the afternoon. You can iceskate, have a bite to eat or drink from one of the many vendors. They also have small shops that surround the park for quick shopping. FYI: Bathroom lines can get long.

This is a must do every winter season. Bryant Park transforms into a winter wonderland complete with shops that sell apple cider, hot cocoa & nyc themed ornaments and a skating rink.The huge tree isnt up yet this year but thats also a great part of it. This year a lot of the shops and little restaurants are not back, but there are a few and you can still skate.Please support the small businesses that have set up for the winter!

Early Christmas market at Bryant Park with many interesting vendors showcasing lots of talent. Custom hats for men and women that are absolutely fabulous. Scarfs and imported leather goods. Crystals, teas, spices and chocolates and many more beautiful holiday gift ideas. Definitely felt the holiday spirit which was nice especially in these challenging times. Definitely worth going to.

You deserve to be at the top list, guys! You expect me to recommend your park to all of my colleagues. Thank you so much, guys!

This was a very interesting Park. A lot to see! I like the descriptive signs that told about all of the statues in the park and its interesting history.

The Cider was flowing. There were awesome vendors. The crowd count was low but the restroom lines were long. Outdoor dining was happening and everyone was on their best behavior.

I was surprised by the ice skating rink (I havent been to the city in a while). The kiosks selling a variety of food and goods was a pleasant surprise. I shall return!

Bryant Park: a nice sanctuary for social distancing and reprieve from the busyness of New York City streets especially during a pandemic. Aside from taking in the view and enjoying the fresh air (some days) cuz a number of vendors scattered around and in the park for tasty snacks. Theres also a number of table tennis stations set up and Ive seen quite a few people play games of chess.

I like this place. It is quite in the morning but it is too crowded afternoon. Good place to set any look around. You can’t feed birds. Good things there are plug if you want to charge your phone.

Always a great place to eat lunch outdoors or take a break if you work in an office building around. Glad to see the greens and animals in the middle of a fast-paced city. When you see in there, you have undisturbed zen moment

A magical place in the middle of the city. Seats and tables. You can also sit on the grass. Buy something to eat or coffee and sit in the tranquility. In the summer there are movies and free shows in the winter ice skating rink. The starch is also suitable for families. Highly recommended !!!!

Winter village is here,yayyyyyy, but this year there are way less stores around the park, probably cuz covid, a little sad. First time tried ice skating here with my husband, it was super fun. Right now you have to buy the tickets online first and choose the time, its better this way, so they can control how many ppl inside ,also not too crowded. Dont think there are a lot of tourists this year, but after work there are still a lot of ppl ,so manage your time better if you really want to keep the social distance

I saw the people use face mask and keep the distance...very organized in the ring

This is an amazing place. The vibe is incredible and you can rest, have a stroll or just hang out and you will have a great time. Great for a break from the hustle of the city.

It was great I found it little bit over price for the time that we got.

Lovely little park near times square. Good lace to relax during the summer and enjoy activities all year round.

Surrounded by iconic buildings at the heart of Manhattan is a must visit. So much calm there!! Ice rink, an additional attraction during winter season to enjoy with family and friends.

Ice skating opened again this year. The village looks somewhat austere in a scaled down version. The ice wasnt as crowded as it usually is. Still an early winter jewel of New York.

Always been my best place for relax and meet my friends. Clean and good environment. Ice skate for winter ️️️️ and New York library for readers.

Skating rink crowded food excellent sandwiches and the Hot Chocolate was everything it was meant to be. Too cold to sit outdoors though.....heaters were inadequate and could not fight the breeze

One of the best parks in the city. You can truly go and just be another person. I love going to see ping pong being played. My only issue with the park of late is that it’s not always the cleanest but hopefully that changes.

I loved this park a lot. It was a very good place to hang out. Thanks!

A true NYC gem, and the private park staff do and excellent job with both cleanliness and security. While it would be nice in the park stayed open later, it truly is a wonderful place to grab a picnic table and take in the energy of the city. Ample tables and chairs allows for a great picnic experience as well as for memorable photographs. Proximity to the public bathrooms, which are also well maintained, adds to the ease of using this great outdoor space especially during COVID.

Bryant Park is a beautiful location. The Holiday village is nice, many fewer shops due to covid

Ice skating, awesome fountain, hot chocolate, Empire State view, cute shops, public library.

Bryant Park is a very lovely calm park surrounded by tourists and people on their way to work or shop during the day. They have seats and benches were you can take a break from the busyness of the city. Good place to have a conversation over coffee. Doesnt get a 5 star because its not open late which in the city that never sleeps is a huge flaw. If homeless people are a problem, then I suggest having the many police that already are patrolling the area shooing them away anyways do it but with the park open.

Just wish they more of a variety of gifts for children but got some really great maple syrup from Vermont so delicious.

I love Bryant Park this time of the year. The winter village is great and the ice skating rink is always a plus.

This is a must hangout location if you are looking for a great lawn/park to relax, enjoy NYC and unwind while you visit NYC. Bring a blanket, some food & beverages, a good book, setup in the shade or direct sunshine, or under a tree or umbrella. Whatever is your preference, they have it here for you. This is a vibrantly clean and relaxing place to enjoy the day for a meal or just to unwind and enjoy the day. A must see!!!

Five stars, its a park! Smallish but with nice options for coffee, snacks and an ice rink in the winter

Pretty clean park and organized and plenty of tables and chairs also it is pretty calm and relaxing. The park surrounded by plenty of cafes and restaurants. Also there is a pretty clean rest room. There are ping pong tables as well. I recommend coming to here

Perfect place to sit back with a beverage and enjoy the shade. Highly recommend grabbing said beverage (and a cookie) from Culture Espresso just a few blocks south! Theres lots of tables, or you can enjoy the green space. I love listening to the quitessential sounds of traffic while sipping coffee and watching the birds hop around. A very New York City experience.

Crowds are down due to covid but the shops are still going strong

A nice place to have your lunch or hang out with friends and family. Love the park sans tourists and crowds.. Enjoy late summer breeze and watching water fountain??

You can’t go wrong visiting bryant park during winter. There’s always mini stores around selling food or decorations. There’s an ice skating ring in which anyone can enjoy and seats around the ice skating ring. The views are so pretty during whatever time of the day. There’s also a public restroom that’s clean and free. I recommend!!!

Wow what a place winter wonder land is amazing. The shops there are full of amazing thi gs to buy for the Christmas season. The ice rink is wonderful place to visit.

Great, clean park with many sitting areas and a few concessions. They have some phone charging stations but the electricity was shut off for some unknown reason. There are also public restrooms. An oasis near Grand Central Station to the East and Times Square to the west. It is also adjacent to the NY Public Library.

Wonderful area. Plenty of sitting room, vendors and food establishments. In the heart of midtown, a break from the hustle and bustle. Stop and see for yourself! Enjoy!

Clean park, great views, lots of people though. Not novid covid friendly!

I took a date here last week :) to do a little shopping with the small vendor pop up shops... very cool interesting shops. I bought a folding bowl made of recycled chop sticks made by Chopstickart.com...or items from Canadian HOCKEY SOCKEY, the booth & guy was very entertaining ... and also cool jewelry at KRO-GU, the guy Malden is an amazing jewelry designer.I used to be a fashion designer for 30 years prior to the covid furlough & used to come to Bryant Park often to eat lunch... & it felt great to be back!

Great place, quiet, clean, fresh air and with a lot of space to social distancing. Due to pandemic it’s quite empty, but it’s still a lovely place to hung out. If I have a cup of coffee and my book, I can spend entire day here!

Nice place to play ping pong, petanque, read, or eat take out.

Amazing place. Alot of cozy street vendors. And alot of spots to get great coffee and vegan food

Same festive feeling even during covid.

Beautiful and cozy! A place to go with the family! You can still enjoy and buy some gifts from local artisans!

It is very festive definitely the nice place to go

One of my favorite parks in the city, always a great place to catch some fresh air in a busy city.

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Fun spot to people watch Holiday Festival and ice rink.

Its a great park to enjoy with family and now the ice skating is open its pricey to rent the skate but free admission looks fun

Beautiful park with a lot of space to enjoy , many different activities depending the time of year...

Amazing scenery that you will definitely love! The park is so clean and the staffs are nice. There are tables and seats in the area where you can enjoy your food with. I will visit this place again!

Always love spending a moment here, in every season

Beautiful day out. Had self portraits done. Wish we lived closer, this is definitely a park to visit often!

Too far of a walk to Central Park but we made it to Bryant Park and it was great with a beautiful fountain in the middle. We carried our take-out from Red Lobster and ate it at one of the many small tables at the Park.Very clean, quaint & a perfect spot to eat your take-out!

I love this beautiful spot in the city. Peaceful and relaxing in this crazy times ︎

Good place to visit, but its nice to go home.

The park definitely looks livelier then two-three month before. It recovers faster than the rest of Midtown. You can even participate at different activities. Of course, social distancing is a must.

I love this place. Its my favorite park. Theres so much to do and I prefer it over Central Park. There are games, and free books you could read. They also have weekly activities. Highly recommended

Winter Village in the winter, HBO movies in the summer, yoga in the park, tai chi, people watching, great food.... everything I love about NYC in 1 place.

Family friendly forever favorite stops for a walk.

Always a pleasure to visit Bryant Park, especially during the winter holidays.

The service and politeness from the staff was incredible and very appreciative. The food portions could have been better for the prices. My kids did not enjoy the fries.

Lovely place to hangout with friends or alone. A little respite with beautiful gardens among the citys hustle and bustle. Love it!

Very active, cool spot to relax and chill weather its with a friend or alone..

Had a quick picnic here, but most of the park lawn is currently closed for construction! We await you, ice rink & holiday market!

Love Bryant Park. In winters they have the holiday market which is fun. Ice skating rink in middle and a beautiful Christmas tree as well. Many small handicraft shops and some food item stalls too. Fun time to visit this park and enjoy the festivities as well.

If you want the perfect answer to what makes New York City so magical, look no further than Bryant Park in wintertime. The giant ice skating rink, the indoor event and games space, an indoor food area, lots of little shops around the park… But it’s not just winter that makes this place so special! In the summer, spring and fall, there’s lots of other events going on, and even when there isn’t an event going on, it is beautiful, and a perfectly urban oasis in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. I particularly love the movie nights Mondays in the summer, when what seems like thousands of people gather together to watch classic movies on a giant screen. I could go on and on and on about all the events and things I love about this park, and quite frankly, I don’t think it’s possible to come here and have anything less than a fantastic time.

The library reading room is still closed, so I tried to read in the park. The restaurant is open and they let me use a table. Of course I fell asleep. I met a homeless man. He was weird. “ Said he was Jesus. I let him sit down but then he got gross. Uh. “Jesus wouldn’t speak to me that way.” The park is lush and lovely. Bring your own blanket! Enjoy.I think there are many summer activities. Enjoy.

Great place with many outdoors restaurant options

Absolutly love Bryant Park and miss all the events. We went ice skating and the shops and it is always awesome...love my city

Well organized a small park. Fountain plus restrooms . Beautiful Liliums growing there.

There is outdoor dance classes, live piano music, chess and ping pong tournaments and more at Bryant park! Beautiful flowers too!

Holiday outdoor market is back!! Yay!!Bryant Park is fantastic for all season. The bumper cars are good but you have to buy your tickets online and ahead. It’s only for 10 minutes soI would buy multiple tickets if you want to it more. I would recommend a couple rides. There are a couple of shops for snack by the ice rink. This is cute with a fabulous back drop!

Nice, quiet park next to the library. All sorts of activities here like movie night, concert, bocci, ping pong. Plenty of tables and chairs to relax and enjoy the park

The park was very relaxing. There are ~100 tables/seats for people to destress or have lunch. There is a hut that sells coffee/tea and pastries. The lawn doesnt open till noon so be aware of that

Nicely kept park with shaded seating and large open lawn areas. Restrooms also available. Whole Foods, Pret, and seated restaurants available. They are supposed to have charging stations, but sometimes are not turned on so thats a bit unclear. Security is also ever present... perhaps too much as they tend to run off all of the live performers and artists which is a shame.

One of my favorite spots in the city. Youve got food and beverage options, the gardens are always beautifully maintained, and the atmosphere is peaceful. Its a nice little escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

I love this park. Its a great place to linger and people watch. The fountain is small but the sound of the water when your near it is relaxing. The carousel is adorable. The trees are lovely. There are a couple of concessions for coffee or a snack. Just beautiful.

Really nice green space, right behind New York Public library. We visited in February and there was an ice rink and some great food and drink outlets. A nice place to sit and watch the world go by.

Behind the iconic NY Public Library, this is an amazing “strolling, sitting, wandering around” park, spanning from 5th Avenue to Avenue if the America’s. With a large and expensive restaurant (don’t bother), but also many food stands, there’s something for every taste and every pocket. Especially dressed up for the Christmas holidays, it is a definite “don’t miss”

A small park at the heart of New York. There are some restaurants and coffee shops around. There is a fountain in the middle. Lovely place to relax and have some food or drinks.

Its a nice park to sit down and watch crowds pass by... if this was pre-covid times. I dont recommend staying long because theres no social distancing and many people forgo the masks.

Peaceful and beautiful respite from the bustle and hustle.

I was hesitant about the Xmas market this year, but it is absolutely wonderful! I felt completely safe and was able to social distance.

A wonderful little park among New York. It is very cozy and comfortable. In this park, my husband and I had many romantic meetings. We sat on a bench and spent hours talking about everything. It was a long time ago, but still Bryant Park is a special place for me. I love this park very much.

Lots of sitting space on chairs and grass. Youll find tables too if you need them. Lots of activities happening in the park.Negative: I think they got rid of their free wifi. So thats a bummer.

One of my favorite places to visit and to just relax at. When it gets darker, the lights come on and it becomes so enchanting to me.

One of the most beautiful corner in New York. You can rest, visit the New York public library, in the summer nights you can also see movies. Lovely place. A must see for every tourist that comes to New York.
