Manhattan's most famous park is Central Park, though there are many other public gardens around New York City. Bryant Park is a smaller square of bliss, surrounded by skyscrapers yet still embodying a tranquil break from the bustle. Located between Times Square and Grand Central Terminal, you're also sure to spot it if you're in that part of the neighborhood. My friend and I had a lovely break in the park, where we took photos, people watched, and relaxed on some porch swings.
