Bryant Park

Bryant Park is a public park in Midtown Manhattan, located between 40th and 42nd Streets and Fifth and Sixth Avenues, behind the New York Public Library's Stephen A. Schwarzman building. The park is open daily year-round, including holidays, with hours that change by month: in October, daily 7am-10pm; in November and December, 7am-10pm Monday through Wednesday and 7am-midnight Thursday through Sunday. Bank of America Winter Village runs October 28, 2026 – February 28, 2027, with the ice rink open 8am-10pm (to midnight November 19 – January 3) and the Holiday Shops open through January 3, 2027. Rink admission is free, but you must reserve an entry time, and skate rentals cost extra. Take the B, D, F, or M train to 42nd Street/Bryant Park, or the 7 train to 5th Avenue.
