Lawn Opens Today At Noon

We've been patiently waiting since March, and the day has finally arrived! Today at noon, the Bryant Park Lawn opens for the season. In advance of its debut, we spoke to our favorite Manhattan greensward to hear about the opening day plans.

BP: Wow lawn, I thought you looked good before, but now you're just ravishing!
Lawn: I know, every angle is my best angle. But I've worked hard to get this way.
BP: How do you mean?
Lawn: After my winter of rest and relaxation, I spent the first weeks of spring at the gym, going from the stringy patch of sod you saw in March to my current robust state.

Lawn: Then I had to mentally prepare. I read just about every book there is on New York City, and you'd better believe I read the Bryant Park brochures cover-to-cover!  I took lots of notes, so I can stay sharp all summer long. I'm so excited to be picknicked on, danced on, napped on and juggled on.

BP: You sure sound ready for summer. You even got a haircut! And what is that minty fresh smell?

Lawn: The lawnmower paid me a visit earlier this morning so I look my very best today. And I even brushed my teeth. See you at noon!
