Take a Break in Bryant Park

Oasis in Manhattan

Bryant Park is like an oasis in the desert of New York concrete. Situated in midtown on Sixth Avenue between West 40^th and 42^nd Streets, right behind the New York Public Library, Bryant Park is offering a startling list of entertainment events this coming summer, all free.

Here is a sample list of some of the wide variety of offerings to keep you busy in the park on a daily or weekly basis:

• ·        Birding Tours
• ·        Fencing lessons for beginners, for free
• ·        Free juggling lessons
• ·        Le Carrousel

In addition, specially scheduled events will keep the place lively. Check out some or all of the following:

• ·        Poem in Your Pocket Day- Thursday, April 18, 11am to 2pm
• ·        Word for Word Poetry- Tuesday, May 14, 2013, 7:00pm to 8:30pm
• ·        Word for Word Kids- Saturday, June 15, 2013, 12:00pm to 1:00pm

Take a walk on the beautiful grounds and see the monuments, gardens, architecture of the surrounding historic buildings. Take a seat and play chess or backgammon; stand up and play a game or two of ping pong; or try your hand at the French game of Pétanque. No matter what your interests, there is something for you to love at Bryant Park.
