Borrow your parents' early '80s model Mercury Monarch and drive to Queens, Costanza-style, for a screening of some Seinfeld episodes.
On July 28th (at 7 p.m.), Hulu—which retains exclusive streaming rights to the show—is bringing three episodes to Hunter's Point South Park in LIC. This is partially in celebration of their new short documentary about Seinfeld superfans, cumbersomely called They’re Real & They’re Spectacular: Seinfeld Super Fans and the Summer of George.
The outdoor screening will feature "three iconic Seinfeld episodes" (the season 8 finale "Summer of George," plus two others chosen by fans), and will also serve as the theatrical premiere of the documentary short (trailer below). And since it's too easy to bring Seinfeld references into real life, there will also be: frolfing, a costume contest, an Elaine dance-off, show-themed food options (including big salads, black & white cookies, salty pretzels), and more.
