IN BROOKLYN BRIDGE PARKSyfy brings Movies With A View at Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 1. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean Mega Piranha will be screening. But happily, the schedule is looking nice (check it out below). The series is free, outdoors on the grass, and while there's technically no drinking, you can probably get away with some wine in a cup if you're discreet. They'll have music at 6 p.m., followed by the movie once it gets dark. Park concessionaires Ditch Plains, Blue Marble Ice Cream, Brooklyn Bridge Wine Bar and Calexico will be offering food and drinks for purchase.

On paper, going to see a movie outdoors on one of the city's patches of grass is a great idea. In reality, it can often get very crowded... especially with all the classic flicks screening around town this summer. Should you want to brave the crowds, click through for our outdoor movie guide (so far—there are still places like Central Park and RiverFlicks have yet to release their schedules, but we'll update this list once they do).
