Another one of the best things about summer in NYC is all the FREE outdoor movies in the parks in all five boroughs. Movies Under the Stars features a combination of family-friendly flicks and adult thrillers, all starting at dusk on weekday and weekend evenings.
Movies Under the Stars requires you bring your own seating, whether that’s a picnic blanket or lawn chair, and we require that you be courteous to your neighbors by minimizing the length and volume of conversation during movie, and turning off the ringer on your phone.
