Summer in the City

Well last we spoke it was fall and now whoosh it is Summer in the City again. Activities abound and perhaps to jump start I should send you to the River to River Festival

In the spirit of the economic challenges most of us face let's check out free stuff in the city, like the Monday night film festival and after work concert series in Bryant Park.

Bryant Park is located behind the New York Public Library Main Branch at 42nd Street. The library itself is a wonderful Summer in the City excursion and the NYPL website has information about a variety of summertime activities.

Thanks NYC taxpayers and all those who fund these events.

MOVIES DOWNTOWN NEW YORK CITY

The Angelika Film Center or the Angelika's sister theater the Cinema East on Second Avenue as well as the Cinema Village on 12th Street comprise the quintessential New York City film experience. There are many film festivals and other venues for good film in the city, but these are the 'regulars', always there for a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Absolutely no way a savvy visitor should go home without seeing a film at either or both theaters. The Angelika has a cafe with devils food cake to 'die' for as well as a long history of important and 'edgy' films.

Here's a link to Cinema Village current shows, time and price and here's the Angelika
bon filme!
