Getting to the Bryant Park lawn at 4:30pm for the outdoor movies

beg, borrow, cajole your friend with the most flexible work schedule to sneak out and make it to the lawn at Bryant Park by, at latest, 4:30pm on Monday nights in July and August to nab a spot for the outdoor movie screenings. arrive at the park any closer to the 5pm go time, you’ll fall before the raging hordes that rush the lawn to claim the best possible seats. at 4:30, you have a fighting chance at a decent spot, especially if you have pointy elbows.

or be that friend. it’s good juju.
