The Brooklyn Bridge site is awesome for films. More cozy than Bryant Park, though I love that site as well....

Brooklyn Bridge Park also has a slight rise towards the back where you can camp out and recline while you watch the movie. And there's popcorn. Also way less crowded than Bryant Park, but Bryant Park's been showing movies for years now.
ive lived in nyc for oh, i dont know, 23 years, and i didnt know there was this much crap.
:love:
join the club...born and raised here, and I usually rely on people who've just moved here to school me on stuff to do:p
when it's your own back yard you tend to take stuff for granted
Yeah, Bryant is packed - ya gotta get there early and stake out a spot; I only go to the movies I really wanna see now. Breaking Away would be a good one:thumb:
Fulton Ferry State Park (between Bklyn & Mhtn Bridges) is ALWAYS packed beyond belief for the movies. It's just as bad as Bryant Park...

We DC folk are still grousing over HBO's cancellation of "Screen On The Green" in favor of keeping the Bryant Park Fest. :(
Have fun - it's a good lineup this year!
