Bryant Park was a seedy area known for crime and a hangout for undesirables until 1989, when the city reclaimed it and turned it into a beautiful urban oasis. The grounds feature monuments and gardens, and “Le Carrousel,” a popular carousel. A games area makes available chess boards, checkers, and backgammon boards for a small fee. Locals have embraced this park, and today, it’s a pleasure to walk through. If anyone don’t want to play a game, it is still interesting to watch others playing, or he or she can simply relax and enjoy a summer’s day. It’s located adjacent to the New York Public Library.
