The HBO Bryant Park Summer Film Festival is a New York summer tradition. I have never experienced anything like it. All films begin at dusk (usually between 8 pm and 9 pm), but the lawn opens at 5 pm. I have never seen so many people rush into the middle of the park to get a good spot for their blankets to go down on. (And I was one of them!) The atmosphere is unbelievable. You are surrounded by New Yorkers all eating picnick and chatting with their friends. The night I went they were playing an old school black and white movie called How Green Is Your Valley. For me it was more about the experience than the movie that was being played. There is nothing better than lying in a park looking up at the stars whilst being surrounded by skyscrapers of the City!
