  • Monday, June 29
  • 5:00pm
  • The Lawn

The lawn opens at 5:00pm for blankets and picnicking. The films begin at sunset (typically between 8pm and 9pm).

Nobody created pure Hollywood escapism productions better than Busby Berkeley, and this musical set the standard. Designed to transport Depression-enduring audiences, the plot involves attempts to put on a show, featuring Ginger Rogers, Ruby Keeler and Joan Blondell as the indefatigable Broadway show girls, and Dick Powell crooning the tunes.

Menu for a Sunny Day ~ NYC

June 22nd, 2009

bryant-park

Finally, we are in for a lovely week of weather. Whether you are able to take advantage of this weather with a little time to play, or just sneak out of work in time to see the sun set, Bryant Park offers several types of fun in midtown

For lunch or dinner, the Bryant Park Grill offers a healthful menu in the structured and green garden behind the NYC Public Library. Less lovely, less pricey and less healthful is neighboring Bryant Park Cafe. Alternately gourmet snacks are available at the northwest corner of the park from ‘witchcraft.

Mondays in the summer enjoy Bryant Park’s Summer Film Festival, tonight featuring Breaking Away.

The lawn opens at 5:00pm for blankets and picnicking. The films begin at sunset (typically between 8pm and 9pm).

A teenage cyclist, Dennis Christopher, is besotted with all things Italian in a small Indiana college town. Things seem to be going nowhere for him and his townie buddies (Dennis Quaid, Jackie Earle Haley, and Daniel Stern), and he convinces them to take on the students at the Little 500 bicycle race. Flawlessly written by Steve Tesich and directed by Peter Yates. (1979) 100 Min. (Fox)
