The New York Public Library recently reopened its Mid-Manhattan branch (now renamed the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library) after a multi-million dollar renovation that began in 2017. It looks beautiful, and has a nice rooftop terrace where you can sit and relax for a bit. Located at 40th and 5th, it's right across from the Stephen A.
