The Pond at Bryant Park...



Fun Fact: Bryant Park is a nine-acre public park located in Manhattan. The New York Public Library is in the park. By the 1970s, Bryant Park had been taken over by drug dealers, prostitutes and the homeless; it was widely seen as a symbol of New York City’s decline. The park was closed in 1988 to undergo a four-year re-design and restoration. Bryant Park is one of the signature examples of New York's revival in the 1990’s. It is also where Fashion Week is held each Spring. Bryant Park introduced 'The Pond' in 2005. A free-admission ice skating rink that instantly became a fixture in the Manhattan holiday scene. The New York Times dubbed it "NYC's Best."
