Bryant Park

3

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.
