Among the many not-to-miss summer experiences in NYC is a free outdoor movie in the park.
If your kids are old enough to start a movie after sundown, make it a family affair (or date night)! Invite your friends, pack a picnic, and arrive early to catch the sunset! Not sure if a movie is appropriate for your kiddo? Pro tip: check Common Sense Media for age recommendations.
