Bryant park actually has programming and stuff to do.

I fully understand that. But again, when I go to Bryant Park when I'm in NY, I visually see a beautiful park with grass, trees, flowers, a fountain. That is why I love going there. Yes it has activities and other things. People visit the park for their own reasons. If I were to go there and see lots of steps, lots of concrete, blocked from the sidewalk like Pershing Square, I would not go. Bryant Park is a beautiful park with beautiful grounds in a beautiful setting, and that is why I go.
