Nitehawk Cinema

Dinner and drinks are served at your seat during the film at this Metropolitan Avenue cinema, and the menu often nods to what's on screen.

McCarren Park

You'll find a running track, ball fields and a big public pool in summer on the border with Greenpoint. It's where the neighborhood spends a sunny Sunday.
