Dyckman Marina sits at the top of Manhattan where the Hudson opens up toward the Palisades, and watching a movie there as the light fades is about as relaxed as a Friday night in the city gets. NYC Parks' free outdoor screenings are family-friendly, and the season is winding down as fall arrives. If you live uptown or want an easy, free evening outside, bring a blanket.
What to expect
A screen set up at the marina with neighbors spread out on blankets and folding chairs, the river and the Palisades in the background. The film starts once it is dark enough, so arrive a bit early to find a spot.
