This is nice: the Van der Ende-Onderdonk House (home to Arbitration Rock—aka the Brooklyn/Queens border) is hosting a new movie series, inviting cyclists and bi-peds alike to enjoy classic flicks under the stars. The kick-off feature for the Wonderdonk Bike-In Movie Series (happening July 29th) is Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, and we really hope someone makes a grand entrance like this:
If you plan on going, show up by 7:30 p.m. to get some prime real estate on the grass, and while local food vendors will be selling food and drink, you are also welcome to BYO-Picnic. Bonus: prior to Pee-Wee they'll be screening the 1956 classic The Red Balloon. Honestly, we love everything about this event.
