Summer weeknights are the new weekends, and our new Monday List'll help you take advantage of all five of them. Hear that, Sunday?
The Rest: Movie in Bryant Park
Lawn opens at 5pm, film rolls at sunset (9pm-ish); BryantPark.org
Between 40th and 42nd Sts and 5th and 6th Aves
Tonight's free outdoor screening: Steve McQueen in Bullitt, widely regarded as having the best car chase ever. The Monday flicks keep coming all summer, culminating August 21st with Rocky, widely regarded as having the worst diction ever.
The Rest: Big Bag of Booty
HeroesBaseball.org; See what's in the bag
Clearly, you didn't join Mike Modano and Jerry Stackhouse at June 24's charity baseball game in Dallas. Jerk. So to raise your awareness, Heroes Baseball is giving one lucky Thrillist reader a fat gift bag: $2700 of swag, including a watch, bullfighting lessons, and steak coupons (meat not actually in bag). For a shot at the goods:
Email Contest@Thrillist.com with your best argument (50 words or less) why Jerry Stackhouse should -- or shouldn't -- have been suspended for Game 5 of June's NBA Finals.
Gorging: Trestle on Tenth
242 10th Ave, at 24th; 212.645.5659; TrestleOnTenth.com
Trestle's contemporary American cuisine's influenced by chef Ralf Keuttel's upbringing in Switzerland, birthplace of fondue and Ricola cough drops. Opening tomorrow, its dishes include Crépinette of Pork Shoulder, Stuffed Veal Breast, and Roasted Lamb Saddle bathed in Bacon Sauce -- the fondue for the new millennium that also soothes scratchy throats.
Drinking: Village Banker Bar Tour
Sat Jul 15th, 3-11pm
Registration 3-6pm at Slane
102 McDougal St, between W 3rd and Bleecker

Didn't win the bag? Guzzle for charity on the VBBT, where $10 and a can of food gets you 8hrs of cheap beers at nine bars. As a bonus, Playboy model Crystal Pierce will work registration from 3-5pm. Cash and cans go to City Harvest, but like you, they'd rather go home with Crystal Pierce.
