With summer officially here, it's almost time for outdoor movies in Bryant Park in New York City. Every Monday night beginning July 13th, you can bring a blanket or lawn chair and camp out to watch a free movie with friends and family in the shadow of the Empire State Building. The lineup of films this summer includes cult classics, romantic comedies, Oscar winners, and even an Elvis throwback. In the words of Wayne and Garth, 'You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll hurl'. Lol.
Best of all the films are free to attend and get rolling at 8 p.m. However, it's recommended that you get there around 5 p.m. to snag a seat before the park fills up! There will be food trucks on site as well as a bar tent serving seasonal cocktails.
