The American woodcock's unique dance attracts crowds in Bryant Park during its brief migration stop.
After several seasons as the reservation-only Curling Café, Bryant Park is rebooting the experience as a free, first-come, first-served activity focused purely on the game. There are now no bookings, no food-and-drink minimums and no pressure to linger longer than your competitive spirit allows. From February 6 through February 26, 2026, iceless curling lanes will pop up just east of the skating rink as part of Bank of America Winter Village.
Bryant Park brings back their famous bumper cars on ice for another season! Growing up a city kid in Brooklyn, one of my favorite summer memories was the bumper cars on Coney Island. Now, kids and adults, too, can make a possibly more fun memory right in the middle of Midtown. The bumper cars on ice at Bank of America Winter Village in Bryant Park are coming back in January, and tickets are on sale now.
Hark, Christmas has descended on New York City. For several weeks this fall, the trees of the iconic Zuccotti Park, blocks from Wall Street (and the frequent site of anti-capitalist protests), have created a captivating golden canopy, accentuated by the lights that wrap around them. Now, as of Saturday morning, workers unpacking Christmas trees in the park heralded the arrival of a new season: winter.
