| --- HBO Bryant Park Summer Film Festival 2002 |
| | |
 |
1. Hello, everybody! The outdoor season has come! In summer, a lot of FREE
events take place across New York City.
Today's event I join is The HBO
Bryant Park Summer Film Festival 2002 (42nd Street and 6th Avenue), for 10th year in a
row. |
| |
 |
2. People are relaxed with their own styles, eating, chatting, napping, or
whatever they like. Some people are already in a sweet mood... |
| |
 |
3. At the beginning of the dusk, a band is playing. (Don't ask me who they
are...) |
| |
 |
4. Then, Mayor Michael Bloomberg (right of three) shows up! That's
because today is the first day of the series of this event. He celebrates this event as "a
wonderful phenomenon in one of the greatest cities in the world." |
| |
 |
5. After we are forced to wait half an hour for getting dark enough,
finally the movie starts by the advertising films. It's just around 9 p.m.. It has
been more than 3 hours since I got here. |
| |
 |
6. People are dancing by the HBO music with a big excitement... Why???
What happens to them...? |
| |
 |
7. Today's main film starts! Its title is On the
Town. |
| |
 |
8. Buuut, it suddenly starts raining and lightning... Some run out of
here, and some begin to take blankets or umbrellas. Oh, my goodness! This season is
basically pleasant but we often have showers and thunders. |
| |
 |
9. I wanna see the entire movie, but give up in the middle of it because
of my soaked butt.
This event goes every Monday night until August 19. The information
about the titles or else is to see Bryant Park - HBO Bryant Park Film Festival. |
| Jun. 24, 2002 --- Taste of Times Square |
| | |
1. At 5 pm of following Monday afternoon, Taste of Times
Square opens at 46th Street between Broadway and 9th Avenue.
As a kick-off, we have a ribbon cutting celebration. Look, the "ribbon" is not a
ribbon. That's a plate of NOODLE! Ha,ha,ha---! (But why?) |
 |
| |
2. This event is that more than 50 restaurants in Times Square
give us their sample dishes by exchanging Taste tickets ($1/1tkt), also annually
that reaches 9th.
This is a good chance to taste these "finest" restaurant's dishes with no dameges our
own pockets. Everybody thinks, "Don't miss my target dishes!" |
 |
| |
3. Times Square Cafe. Today they serve Raspberry Almond
Tarts, Tiramisus, etc. I choose a Low Fat Yogurt Mousse with 3 Tickets. That's veeeeery
good.
