Bryant Park Picnic Performances

All summer long, Bryant Park transforms its midtown lawn into a free outdoor stage on Monday and Thursday lunchtimes, drawing jazz, dance, circus acts, and world music into the heart of the city. The lawn is vast enough to find your own patch of grass, so pack a lunch and settle in among the office workers and tourists who have made this one of summer's most reliable midday rituals.
