To me, there are few better ways to spend time than going to the movies. To make things more exciting, HBO and Bryant Park are hosting a summer-long free movie series, every Monday until August 23rd. They have a great set of movies lined up for the summer, with classics from Goldfinger to 12 Angry Men. So grab your friends and head over to Bryant Park on Monday nights this summer!
