We Love Bryant Park

An impressive Midtown Manhattan park is an oasis in the bustling  throng of this great city.

Before the crowds descend.

Surrounded by an array of skyscrapers built over the past 150 years or so , including  important NYC landmarks like the New York Public library and the stunning black and gold roofed American Radiator Building.
Its moments away from Kirsty's school and absolutely the best place to hang out , grab a bite to eat and people watch.
Amongst the many great features of the park are the  free yoga classes , not that I'm ready to bare my lycra clad butt to the business folk of Manhattan but some do.
You can borrow a book or read a magazine for free , play ping pong and petanque , watch the ballet , listen to jazz bands ....the list is endless and it's all free , there are enough tables and chairs for everyone .
When the humidity on Friday night was getting too much for us off we went to the park to drink beers at the south west corner where you can loll around in rocking or cape cod chairs and if you're lucky- swing away in a double swing chair,  Ella Fitzgerald singing away in the background, its a fairy tail.
I could go on for ever about this fantastic park,
In the winter you can ice skate ! so checkout www.bryantpark.org to see whats coming up next.

Even the lous are palatial , complete with beautiful flower arragnments , fresh toilet seat covers every time and a soothing violin concerto to pee away to.
