Movies Al Fresco

offbalanceOne of the greatest things about New York City in the summertime are the free events. Many of them are outside, fun, and did I mention free?
My personal favorite of these are the free movies. Everyone knows Bryant Park, of course. The biggest pro is that it's one of the easiest to get to after work, but the problem is that this pro is also a con. It's usually crowded and crazy as all hell. And honestly? This year's lineup doesn't really excite me much:
Much more exciting is the lineup promised by Hudson Riverflicks this year. Almost Famous ? The Blues Brothers? Purple Rain? DREAMGIRLS?! Hell to the yes.
Sadly, Brooklyn Bridge Park (one of my favorites, honestly - it's much more relaxed and fun than Bryant) has not listed their lineup yet. But stay tuned.
Today, Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn announced that Park Slope's JJ Byrne Park will also have its very own al fresco film series, starting in July. I'm excited, but as JJ Byrne park contains mostly concrete, I'm somewhat unsure about how this will go. Still, it will probably be a fun night. And hey, free. Don't forget that part!
Speaking of movies in New York, I saw that movie over the weekend. I definitely enjoyed it, and will post a longer review later with a few quibbles and thoughts that I had about it.
