Located just a few subway stops, or a scenic walk from the Moderne Hotel, Bryant Park transforms into an open-air cinema, offering a magical movie experience under the stars all summer long.
Bryant Park Movie Nights are held on the park's expansive lawn, providing a picturesque setting for watching classic films.
