Before you go, in my words
Quoted from my own guidesWhat I go for
From Best parks in New YorkBryant Park in summer, with a free movie on the lawn and the library lit up behind you, is one of my favorite versions of this city.
When to go
From Best things to do in New York with kidsThe lawn opens at 5pm and family-friendly movies start at sunset. Bring a cozy blanket and arrive early because it gets busy.
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
