Bryant Park.
Frank Olito/ Insider
The Bank of America Winter Village pops up in Bryant Park every year around the holidays. As well as being home to an ice-skating rink and a large outdoor restaurant, it s typically a great place to shop for local and unique gifts from artisans in and around the city. I always love going to these shops because it feels like a small town fair in the middle of a giant city.
On a Sunday afternoon in December, I took the train from Brooklyn to the first stop on my attempted shopping spree: Bryant Park in Manhattan.
