The carousel trivia!! Fantastic. Thanks. The Middle East has had such a huge impact on western culture. Many know that high heeled shoes became popular in Europe because Europeans were impressed by Persian horsemanship. And they wore heeled shoes to help them stand up in the stirrups.

Hi Tom. Bryant Park is a lovely place to chill out and take a moment to sit and people watch. I did that once. As you know , the Public Library was designed by Architects Carriere and Hastings. That public restroom is great. If only other public restrooms were so well taken care of and respected by those who use it.

Thanks for the tour Tom. I have been to this beautiful park, toured it with my wife 6 years ago. It was a rather warm October day and a first visit for me from Alaska. We did enjoy a light lunch at the Bryant Park Grill. We were in NYC to see the Broadway play "Beautiful" about the life of Carole King and visit my wife's 90 year old cousin. I really liked the Bryant Park Hotel and wished that I had known about it before we booked our trip. We drove up from Virginia after visiting another of my wife's cousins and were rudely introduced to the horrible NYC traffic as soon as we got out of the Lincoln Tunnel. I parked the car near our hotel and did not drive it again until we left to drive back down to Virginia 5 days later to fly out of Reagan National. In November of 2019 we visited NYC again and that time we stayed near at the Washington Square Hotel near Washington Square. The Washington Square Hotel is a real gem and we really enjoyed the neighborhood feel of Greenwich Village.

From the late 70s to the mid 90s Bryant park was basically a drug dealer supermarket. Heroin, crack and anything else could be had, and if you weren’t buying or selling you didn’t go in. In the mid 90s the NYPD cracked down and moved the dealers out and the park began to take on the appearance it has now

Bryant Park was nicknamed “Needle Park” back in the 70’s because of all the drug addicts and drug activity there at the time. Today it has been so cleaned up and beautiful it’s hard to believe there was drug activity there. During the Christmas holidays it is an incredible place to visit. They have holiday shops, ice skating, bistros….great place to visit!

l grew up in NYC. Back then, Bryant Park was an actual park with a large green lawn surrounded by benches for seating. I guess that much valuable empty space couldn't be allowed to lie fallow forever. Today's "park" is less like a park and more like a commercialized outdoor mall.
