It’s been a tradition for me and my friends to go to the free summer movies throughout NewYork City. One of my favorite locations, though is right by the Brooklyn Bridge. The Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy teams up with the SyFy channel to bring Hollywood favorites to Pier 1, Harbor View Lawn. The movies are sight enough, but the fantastic view of the Manhattan skyline behind the screen is beyond words.

It kicked off last month but it’s continuing until September 1st. The remaining films include An American Tail (Aug 4), Breakfast at Tiffany’s (Aug 11), Crooklyn (Aug 18), Rosemary’s Baby (Aug 25), and the public vote on September 1st. The place gets crowded pretty quick. The most popular films are the hardest to find space for so be sure to get there early! The event opens around 6PM and the movies will start a little before sundown. There will be snacks, beverages, and music available to you but I highly recommend you bring your own. Also be sure you have some sort of towel or blanket to sit on and sunglasses because the sunset gets kind of intense.

It’s all about good times and summer fun. Enjoy a nice breeze off the water, relax for the movie, and go to Grimaldi’s Pizza not too far out of your way afterward for a slice or two.
