Bryant Park in New York: Where is it?

The Map of Bryant Park and Surroundings

What to See inside Bryant Park

Among the monuments found inside the vibrant park, we would like to point out: The Josephine Shaw Lowell Memorial fountain in pink granite that was designed by the architect Charles A. Platt and given to the city in 1912. Walking on the left-side is the statue of William Earle Dodge (1885) brought to Bryant Park in 1941, his previous position was Herald Square. The park takes its name from the poet and journalist William Cullen Bryant and to represent and honor him, you will find his statue, as well as a bust of Goethe and Gertrude Stein (1794-1878). Moving eastward, you will find the kiosks that host several cafes with outdoor spaces, excellent to find some relaxation during long walks. But to the delight of children, here is one of the most popular attractions: The Carousel.

Images - Bryant Park during the Winter Months

Bryant park during the Winter months is a true "Winter Wonderland" for young and adult. The park starts gearing up for Christmas at the end of October with the Christmas & Holidays Market and the Ice-skating Rink. In early December, they also do the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony accompanied by a live show on ice (each year is different). You will also find a "food hall" with plenty of food and drink options including hot chocolate, churros, waffles, polentas, fries and much more!
