Bryant Park is my one of favorite place in Manhattan. When i arrived in New York from Korea, i didn’t know where to go because it was my first time here. So i searched a little bit on the Internet to find a few places i wanted to look around, and i found Bryant Park. The reason why i chose to go there is not only because there is a famous New York public library, but also there are many places nearby where i can enjoy various food and shopping, so it was recommended as a place to stop by tourists. I went to Bryant Park next day i searched on Internet and i felt a lot of things in this place. It was easy to see people of various races, including Asian, European, and African and so on because this is a world wide place. I felt this place was for people who came from all over the world not only for travel purposes but also for people who speak various languages currently living there. There are sign, clothes, and travel brochures made in various languages.

Now this famous place Bryant Park , however, was a place where there were many drugs and prostitution in 1970’s just 50 years ago. According to the New York Times in 1976, 43 street robbers and 52 drugs users were caught in Bryant Park in six Months. Entrepreneur Dan Biedermann was first to come up with the idea of reviving Bryant Park. He established the fund by persuading other businessmen to set order right here and turn it into a crowded space. Beginning in the early 1970’s, the BID (Business Improvement Districts) is to collect 2~5% of property taxes from commercial buildings in certain areas as a levy and use them for beautifying the environment, improving facilities and promoting them. In other word, building owners around Bryant Park pay a levy to run the park. Bryant Park refurbished the interior from 1987-1991 and reopened in 1992. Overall, Bryant Park wasn’t as public-visited as it is until the 1970s because security was so poor and there was nothing to see that more than 50 drug cases a year occurred here. However, it is the current Bryant Park that some merchants created a combination, invested a certain percentage of their money, remodeled the park and reopened it. The picture shows that Bryant Park has been closed for four years.

125 Books, 125 Years, and LoveRedaing in the New York Public Library.via NY Library
The New York Public Library is a very old and huge library located in Bryant Park. As you can see from the lion statue in front of the library and the two posters around it, the building has been built 125 years ago and has a large number of books collected over 125 years. The lion’s meaning is patience and indomitable will. It is said that these nicknames came from the buttering of the Great Depression of 1930. In the past, lion videos were not reading books, but now lion videos are reading red books. On the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the library’s opening, I think it was changed to a lion statue reading a book with the intention of wanting people to read more books.

Bryant Park is a gathering place for people from all over the world, so there is a lot of food from all over the world. There are plenty of Japanese, Korean and French restaurants as well as Italian restaurant in the picture above. And as it is a center of New York and a region of high-end shopping malls, restaurants are also offering fairly high-end and expensive food. Most of the food here is also written in their native language. AL FLOI is an Italian restaurant, and instead of English, it made a sign in Italian language. The Manu version was also used not because everything was written in English, but because of its native language and English. This is because the customers they are targeting are not only Americans but also people from all over the world, so they are using each country’s language to appeal their expertise. And if you look at the price of the restaurant here, you can see that it is formed at a fairly high price, from as little as $100 to as much as $300.
Overall,Bryant Park is a park created for commercial purposes by neighboring merchants raising funds.

And the New York Public Library nearby has a lot of history and books as it is the iconic building of Bryant Park and offers many ways to care for people from around the world.
