Bryant Park Garden Walk

Bryant Park Garden Walk is a 45-minute outdoor pause among Midtown’s paths, planting beds and public seating, separate from the library building behind it.

Enter from Sixth Avenue near 42nd Street, make a circuit of the park’s perimeter paths and gardens, and finish near the library’s western side. Keep the time for a short walk and a seat in the park; library entry, meals, classes and performances are not included.

The lawn and planting change with the season, and winter installations transform the central space. During Winter Village, choose the Holiday Market or Ice Skating Activity when that is the actual purpose of the visit rather than counting the same park circuit again.
