MOVIES WITH A VIEW
The Conservancy's most popular event returns for its ninth year! Movies With A View is one of the city's premiere outdoor film series with an eclectic line-up of films and breathtaking views of the NYC waterfront. The films are chosen by an all-volunteer Film Committee and each feature is preceded by a Short film. DJs from Brooklyn Radio kick off the evening, spinning tunes as the sun sets, and RICE sells delicious dinners onsite. Bike valet provided by Transportation Alternatives.
Sorry, no pets and no alcohol allowed in the park.
Check out the stars with Orion telescopes generously donated by SCI FI! The Amateur Astronomers Association of New York will be at the movies to help you locate stars and planets in the night sky.
