In the Heights is a love letter to Washington Heights, and Rooftop Films is screening it on the Sunset Park waterfront with harbor views as the backdrop. The series has been New York's best-curated outdoor film program for decades, and this end-of-summer show is free. If you want a big-hearted musical on a warm night by the water, RSVP now.
What to expect
Doors open about an hour before the film, and the waterfront plaza at the Brooklyn Army Terminal fills with blankets facing the screen and the harbor beyond it. The musical runs 143 minutes, so it ends well after dark, and the ferry landing is right there for the ride home.
Good to know
- Take the R train to 59th St or the NYC Ferry to the Brooklyn Army Terminal stop.
- RSVP through Rooftop Films before you go.
- Bring a blanket and a layer; the waterfront cools off after sunset.
- The film is long, so plan snacks for the full running time.
