Photo of the Day: Ping Pong, Bryant Park, NYC

Balmy temperatures in the early afternoon brought people out in droves on Saturday at Bryant Park, right behind the Central Branch of the New York Public Library. Hard to believe that only two months before, an ice-skating rink was out on the big lawn--and that, by early evening, wicked winds would be whipping up around me as I headed home to New Jersey. 

But one sign of better things to come came early in the afternoon at Bryant Park, this ping pong table and these two contestants. Many more such activities will surely take place here before the weather turns colder again, for a prolonged period, in late fall.
