- Bryant Park, between 5th and 6th Avenues
- Holiday shops mid-October through early March
- Ice rink, free admission (skate rental)
- Restaurant pavilion
Bryant Park's Winter Village runs from mid-October through early March — the holiday market in the cabin stalls around the lawn, the ice rink at the centre with free admission and rental skates, the pavilion restaurant on the eastern edge. The format is the most successful winter park programme in the city and the only proper Christmas market in midtown.
Skate at the rink at the early morning before the crowd, walk the market for the German pastries, take the lunch at the Public Library across 5th Avenue. The address is the right answer for the December afternoon that wants the holiday register and the only midtown park that handles the brief.
The Christmas market the city kept.
