Lamberts Lane & Arlene Street

<p>Join NYC Parks and the New York City Mayor&#39;s Office of Media and Entertainment for a free film.</p><p>Gridiron Gang star Dwayne &quot;The Rock&quot; Johnson picks up the pigskin once again for this sports-themed family comedy concerning a football superstar who abandons the gridiron to answer the call of fatherhood. Joe Kingman (Johnson) was a star quarterback destined for greatness; not only is the Boston-based team he plays for well on their way to the championships, but he&#39;s got all the money and fame that a man could want out of life. A perpetual bachelor whose one brief marriage ended many moons ago, Kingman is stunned to learn that a long-forgotten youthful fling had more permanent consequences than he ever anticipated. Now, just as his career is set to blow up bigger than ever, this perpetual bachelor learns that he has a seven-year-old daughter named Peyton (Madison Pettis). So how does a lifelong jock who&#39;s used to partying all night and dropping 20-yard bombs all day adjust to a life of ballet classes, Barbie dolls, and afternoon play dates? Whatever road he chooses to take, it certainly won&#39;t be easy, especially since his ruthless, goal-oriented agent, Stella (Kyra Sedgwick), would rather see her client scoring touchdowns than cementing familial bonds.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Know Before You Go</strong><br />You should arrive before 8:30 p.m. to get your spot. Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on;&nbsp;there will be a limited supply of chairs available. Bottled water&nbsp;is&nbsp;OK, but no glass. Reservations are not taken;&nbsp;space is available on a first-come,&nbsp;first-served basis. All are welcome!</p>

<p>Ray Felix presents a dark, yet whimsical tale&nbsp;based on the life of Edgar Allen Poe while residing in the Bronx. Based on both fact and fiction, &quot;Poe is the Raven&quot; gives new light&nbsp;and insight on the secret life of Edgar Allan Poe.</p><p>Inspired by his visits to Poe Cottage, Ray Felix became intrigued by spiritual ether&nbsp;surrounding the Poe property and the stories told by the long time<br />tour guide of the Poe cottage. Felix&#39;s imprint &quot;Bronx Heroes,&quot; takes&nbsp;stories from American History and transforms them into super heroes. Felix believes this allows Bronxites to appreciate everyday heroes from Bronx history and gain a greater understanding of their borough&rsquo;s historically rich past.</p>

Based on both fact and fiction, "Poe is the Raven" gives new light and insight on the secret life of Edgar Allan Poe while residing in the Bronx.

<p class="alert alert-error">Please note: this event has been cancelled.</p><p>In 1799, a prosperous New York merchant named Archibald Gracie built a country house overlooking a bend in the East River, five miles north of the then-New York&nbsp;City limits. Little did he know that, more than 200 years later, his home&nbsp;would be serving&nbsp;as the official residence of the First Family of New York City&mdash;a place where history is made, not merely recorded.</p><p>As a historic house museum run by NYC Parks, sitting on&nbsp;11 acres of grounds now known as&nbsp;Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion has served as the home of 10 mayors, beginning first with Mayor&nbsp;Fiorello H. La Guardia in 1942.&nbsp;Today, Gracie Mansion is occupied by the de Blasio family, which has opened its&nbsp;doors in the spirit of the administration&#39;s motto: one city, rising together.</p><p>In celebration of our&nbsp;75th Anniversary of Gracie being a mayoral residence, Mayor de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray have introduced a new art&nbsp;installation, titled&nbsp;New York 1942. This is the second in a series of installations envisioning New York through the framework of Gracie Mansion as it has been inhabited over time. It includes artwork, documents and objects from the period that the La Guardias lived in Gracie, shown together to tell a more complete story of the overall historic context as perceived from diverse perspectives.</p><p>To RSVP for a tour, please visit&nbsp;on.nyc.gov/gracietour.&nbsp;</p><p>Currently, Gracie Mansion is not offering group tours.&nbsp;If you are part of a private organization that would like to tour the house, please email your request, including the size of group, your name and the purpose of a tour, to&nbsp;gracieinfo@cityhall.nyc.gov&nbsp;and we will work to add you to one of the currently scheduled tours.</p><p>Photo ID required for entrance. No photography permitted in the interior. At the present time, tours are available in English only. Please plan to arrive at least five minutes in advance.</p>
