Event locations in Bryant Park
The Upper Terrace
Adjacent to the Bryant Park Grill
and Cafe, the Upper Terrace overlooks the Lawn and offers 136’ x 56’ of space
with a grand staircase leading down to the lawn level. 100amps of 3-phase
electricity is available, in addition to a number of normal 2-prong outdoor
outlets. Previous events here include the Good Morning America Summer Concert
Series and the New York Pops Summer Music Concert.
The Lawn
The jewel of Bryant Park, the Lawn is
well-known as a lush, green oasis hosting thousands of visitors each day.
Bryant Park patrons also enjoy viewing events such as the HBO/Bryant Park
Summer Film Festival and the Yankees Pinstripes in the Park on the Lawn. With
approximately 280' x 180' of green space, the Lawn is heavily used by the
public in pleasant weather and events are not permitted to place any
structures or materials on the Lawn. The Lawn may be unavailable in wet
weather and just after it has been resodded, usually in late February and late
September. The gravel surrounding the Lawn, however, is always open.
The Fountain Terrace
At Bryant Park's entrance on 6th
Avenue and 41st Street, the Fountain Terrace is a highly-trafficked and
visible space. Featuring the park's unmistakable pink granite fountain, the
67' x 87' terrace is the host of many events ranging from product launches and
promotions to concerts and art installations. 100 amps of 3-phase electricity
is available.
The Library Terrace (on 5th Avenue)
The library's
historic façade is a lovely background for events. All events on the front
terrace of the New York Public Library, however, are subject to approval by
the NYPL board of trustees. The Library Terrace has also served as the
backdrop to many exciting feature films, such as Spider-man and Jennifer
Garner's 13 Going on 30.
Le Carrousel
Specially created to complement the
park's French classical style, Le Carrousel is an homage to both European and
American traditions. Its fourteen delightful animals, replicas of classic
carousel creatures, revolve to the sounds of French cabaret music. The
carousel can be enjoyed by children as well as adults, and is a charming
setting for children's birthday parties, corporate events, and photo/film
shoots.
