Bryant Park Summer Movies in the Park: Films Just Announced!

For all of you following bryantparknyc on Twitter, you not only got clues to guess the films for the 2009 HBO Bryant Park Summer Film Festival the last few days, but found out hours ago what the new films were before the titles were released on the Bryant Park Website.

So what is the Bryant Park Summer Film Festival?

The BPFilm Fest is FREE Outdoor Classic Movie Screenings in Bryant Park every Monday night during the summer (starting June 15th and ending August 17th). The lawn opens at 5PM for picnicking and the films start at dusk (usually 8 or 9pm).

So dust off your blanket and your picnic basket, rouse up some friends (and a couple of bottles of 3 Buck Chuck, even though technically alcohol isn't allowed in the Park) and make sure to spend your Monday Evenings this Summer watching FREE Movies in the middle of Manhattan. Trust me. It's an experience you will never forget!

Bryant Park Audio Walking Tour...FREE!

Bryant Park is one of my favorite parks in the City. Showcasing the Flagship New York Public Library (remember Ghostbusters?) from the East, Le Carrousel from the South, and the Great Lawn from the West, it's a green oasis in the middle of the Midtown.

Besides a myriad of special events that take place here year round (The Pond, Holiday Shops, Movies in the Park, Broadway in the Park, etc...), Bryant is just a great place to bring a book, lay down a blanket and relax while the rat race passes by.

While, I've loved Bryant Park, there is one thing I've always wondered. How did Bryant Park transform into the Midtown oasis of today?



Now you can find out...FOR FREE! All you need is an MP3 player that you can download to and you can download your own free walking audio tour of Bryant Park. What's even cooler is that it is narrated by Matthew Broderick!! And don't forget your accoutrements so afterwards you can chill-lax on the Great Lawn.
