A fountain, chess club, outdoor reading room, games area, and snack bar are all here to make this an attractive retreat from the bustle outside the park walls. Adjacent to the main branch of the New York Public Library. Lectures, classes, ice skating, juggling ... a large variety of events take place here.

From the website: "The lawn is lush and green and the flowers change seasonally but Bryant Park is more than a garden. When you first discover it, nestled in its canyon of skyscrapers, it’s like an oasis—a refuge of peace and calm. But Bryant Park is a city park, full of historical monuments and urban amenities. The park is a social place where friends meet, eat lunch, chat, stroll, listen to music, work on the wireless network, or simply sit and think. Winter, Summer, Spring and Fall, New Yorkers love this park."
