Dyckman Marina sits where Dyckman Street meets the Hudson, with the Palisades across the water, which makes it one of the more scenic spots in the city to watch a movie on a blanket. The NYC Parks series keeps it simple: a family-friendly title, a screen and the river. If you live uptown or want an easy free evening outdoors before the season ends, walk down to the marina.
What to expect
Expect a casual neighborhood gathering on the waterfront with blankets on the ground and the screen lit up once it is fully dark. The film is a family-friendly pick, and the program runs about two hours.
