FILM
There are many free, open-air screenings in the city this summer, and here are a few. The films usually start at sunset (around 8-8:30 pm), but common wisdom is to get there at least 2 hours early, to settle in. Angela’s recommendation: “Bring a blanket to sit on and always check the grass for sprinklers. Little buggers are on a timer!”

July 29: “A Foreign Affair”, at Bryant Park
July 31: “Moonrise Kingdom” at Hudson Pier 63
August 1: "8 Mile” at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
