Rooftop Cinema is Just the Ticket this Summer

New York is full of surprises. Here’s something new that sounds like a fantastic way to spend a wonderful New York evening: Rooftop Cinema Club.

Just imagine a typical hot, sticky New York summer day. Your work day is over, and you just need to relax, but not more indoor recreation with stuffy artificial air conditioning and more of those burdensome four walls enclosing you. No, you want the great outdoors, the cool breezes off the river, the amazing site of New York’s incredible skyscrapers, and a great movie to relax your mind.

Sounds good, right? Well this is what Rooftop Cinema is all about. At their two great locations in Williamsburg and Midtown Manhattan you climb to the roof, settle down in a deck chair with some popcorn, bubbles and in in the case of the Midtown location, a lovely mixed drink, and watch the sunset and then a great movie. Purchase the “Rooftop Love Seat” ticket and you get a double deck chair, unlimited popcorn and bubbles, so bring someone you like along.

What movies are on the program for this summer? Here’s a partial list:

•    Vertigo
•    Hidden Figures
•    Lion
•    American Psycho
•    Moonlight
•    Raider of the Lost Ark
•    Top Gun
•    The Big Lebowski

And that’s just in June!

The two locations:

•    Midtown Manhattan: YOTEL (570 Tenth Avenue)
•    Brooklyn: East Williamsburg’s OfficeOps (57 Thames Street)
