HBO Summer Film Festival

Grab your blanket, a hot date, or a few great friends and head on over to Bryant Park for HBO’s Summer Film Festival. Enjoy FREE outdoor movies on the lawn every Monday night, beginning tonight June 18.

Catch old classics like Annie Hall, Casablanca and Psycho at dusk (around 8pm) on the big screen. Bring a blanket and arrive early as the lawn opens at 5pm for a little picnicking and a lot of mingling. (Fear not ladies, the park is even equipped with full and clean restroom facilities.)

Forgot the picnic basket? Not to worry. Familiarize yourself with ‘wichcraft, a Bryant Park establishment featuring sandwiches, soups and salads that are the perfect way to begin an evening under the stars. The kiosk even offers lawn-side dinner service that allows moviegoers to order and relax as sandwiches are delivered straight to their patch of grass.

Because of the park’s great location one block from Times Square, it is no wonder why New Yorkers flock to the event to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Bryant Park also features free wireless access, leaving even the most terrible workaholics without an excuse to miss this great event.

So sit back, relax and kick away the Monday blues with a fabulous evening in the park. For more information and movie schedules, visit www.bryantpark.org.
