Summer Swing: the Bryant Park porch scene

Flip flops, freckles, and frappes. High summer has arrived. While vacationers flock to beachfront getaway, city dwellers miss out on some of the best of summer symbols — lemonade stands, ocean views and lazy summers on the porch swing. But not this season as the porch swing sways in Bryant Park. Rocking swings, Adirondack chairs and the ever iconic porch swings are part of the “Porch” installation designed by Nancy Thiel Architecture + Design. It’s an outdoor living space open through September to the public for leisurely reflection. Small bites and specialty cocktail add to breezy ambiance, with a menu prepared by beer ‘wichcraft’s Tom Colicchio.
