7. Hi-Way Drive-In (10699 State Route 9W, Coxsackie, NY)
Like many of New York’s drive-ins, the Hi-Way opened in 1950. It was the joint venture of brothers Morris and Rafael Klein. When the Klein’s retired in the 1990s, the theater was taken over by a couple who met when they both worked at the theater, Roger Babcock, former projectionist, and Sharon Babcock, former concessionaire and assistant manager. The Babcocks modernized the drive-in by bringing in radio sound and digital projection. They also added 3 additional screens to make the Hi-Way the second-largest drive-in theatre in New York State! Now run by new owners Sydney and Greg, the drive-in shows new releases and throwback films on its four separate screens.
