The Place
Bryant Park has become one of Manhattan’s loveliest public spaces, and it has an open-air café for casual eating and the Bryant Park Grill for serious meals. The grill is a gorgeous pavilion with a bird mural stretching along one side and banquettes wrapped in a wonderful leaf-print pattern. The wine list complements the American menu; more than half of the 26 selections offered by the glass are from California. Appetizers include Caesar salad, peppered tuna and steamed Prince Edward Island mussels. There is penne pasta with rock shrimp and baby artichokes, black olives and lobster tomato sauce. Grilled chicken comes with terrific french fries and a small garden of baby vegetables. Desserts are big, beautiful and delicious, including a pumpkin cheesecake with cinnamon, whipped cream and cranberry compote.
