Bryant Park, between 40th and 42nd Streets

Bryant Park's lawn on a sunny day, with the back of the New York Public Library behind the trees. For the 2008 movie the production put up a mock Fashion Week tent here for a Vivienne Westwood show, and outside it Samantha's white fur coat gets splashed with red paint by an animal-rights protester. The tent is long gone, but the park is free and open every day, and it sits right behind the library, so it pairs naturally with the wedding stop.
