Outdoor Movies: 6/15 - 6/19

Tonight begins a great summer tradition in New York: outdoor movies. And with it, the start of a new feature here at Zandervision: the weekly schedule of outdoor movies. Now, Bryant Park is the only place to begin its screenings yet, so the schedule will be a bit light until July. But if you're interested in the movie (and think it won't rain), these screenings are always a good time.

Monday, June 15th
Bryant Park
The Sting
Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and a classic poker scene.

Get Ready for Outdoor Movies

One of my favorite parts about being in New York over the summer is the free outdoor movies. You have a little picnic, enjoy the weather, and see a classic film you somehow missed, all for free.

Which ones are making your summer to-do list?
