Bryant Park is close to many hotels in Midtown New York City, within walking distance of Times Square and lots of great shopping on Fifth Avenue and in the Fashion District on Sixth Avenue. Bryant Park is the backyard of the central building of the New York Public Library, which is officially part of Bryant Park. It is also a great location for lunch or refreshment outside in warm weather, with many affordable options in the park and on surrounding streets. The park is known for its great amenities, like free wi-fi, luxurious public restrooms, and an open-air library and seasonal offerings like an ice skating rink, holiday market, chess and ping pong. Of course, Bryant Park (http://www.bryantpark.org/) is also world renowned for fashion shows in September and February during New York Fashion Week. Across the street is the brand-new Bank of America tower, which is now the second-tallest building in New York City.
