Bryant ParkThis small, lively lawn behind the main New York Public Library is a useful Midtown pause rather than a major sightseeing commitment. Stop for coffee, seasonal programming, or a break between Grand Central, Fifth Avenue, and Times Square.
Rockefeller CenterThis compact Art Deco complex is a worthwhile walk-through even if you do not go up Top of The Rock. Its plaza, public art, and seasonal ice rink or tree make it a natural Midtown anchor.
