Morning Brief: August 26
Bryant Park is, of course, a beautiful piece of Midtown Manhattan real estate--but it's also a forum for many different events during long summer days. And today's got some interesting ones. You can start off with boot camp in the morning, or perhaps do something a little bit more out there, like juggling in the afternoon.
