Next to New York Public Library, Bryant Park attracts New Yorkers out for a walk or a picnic, but also hosts outdoor concerts and fashion shows. Take a look at the buildings that line the park, such as the American Standard Building (1924), a mix of black brick and terracotta, the New York Telephone Company Building to the west, or the curvilinear Grace Building (1974) to the north. For a pleasant break, take a seat at the Bryant Park Grill, the canteen for professional publishers.
