A Quiet Morning in Bryant Park

May, 2014

It’s taken me some time to get back to the blog and write this post. Mostly because my new website launched last week and my old blog content was moved over to this new platform, I hope you like it! When I last wrote, it was about my recent trip to New York City and my visit to the High Line. The following day I woke up early and walked over to Bryant Park to explore this famously designed space. On a Sunday morning at 7:30, there weren’t many people out and about, and turns out I love that time of day in the city. It was cool and quiet and perfect for wandering. After a coffee and pastry at Le Pain Quotidien (which is conveniently on the Southwest corner), I took these shots. Of any park in New York, this is one I really want to go back to. Where High Line, with it’s linear layout and design, entices you to walk through it;  Bryant Park is a place to sit, relax, read, and watch the world around you. So wonderful!

Iron benches, a cafe, and those London Plane trees, feels very Parisian
