6. Moonlight and Movies at the Museum of the City of New York
The theme for the Museum of the City of New York’s summer outdoor movies series will be New York on Film: Decade by Decade. The films selected will take you “on a journey through NYC history from the 1920s to the 2020s.” Over the course of 12 months, the series will explore “how New York has been imagined both by Hollywood studios and a diverse range of documentary, independent, and experimental filmmakers.” Films screened will range from classic blockbusters to indie darlings and are presented in conjunction with the museum’s new exhibition This is New York: 100 Years of the City in Art and Pop Culture, which honors the museum’s 100th anniversary. While some of the films will be screened indoors, summer movies will be shown al fresco on the museum’s terrace.
