Diner en Blanc has begun! The annual dress-all-in-white picnic is underway and thousands of folks with chairs, tables and picnics strapped to their backs are now making their way to this year's secret location: Bryant Park. Attendees have only 30 minutes to drop what they're doing, give they bosses an excuse to leave early and hightail it to 42nd Street.
Organizers traded in last year's Lincoln Center setup for one in the popular midtown park. If you had any independent plans to picnic there this evening, we suggest making alternative arrangements.
