There are just so many events in summer time everywhere in NYC every day and night, it is hard to pick one! This Movies with a View, though, was easy to pick because it just sounds amazing – and it was amazing!

Last Thursday night was the first one this summer and they were playing “Stand By Me” (one of my favorite films of all time) and it was packed with people! We didn’t get there until 7:30 or so and all the good spots were taken, of course, but we got an OK spot, had dinner we brought and enjoyed every single minute of it! The view was just breathtaking!!! I think I was watching the view more than the movie… hehe

Gorgeous!!

Brooklyn Bridge:

On the 4th of July, we went to our friends’ house in Red Hook, Brooklyn and had BBQ and watched fireworks from the roof – it was raining a little bit, but we could watch many different fireworks! Especially, I could watch downtown fireworks with Statue of Liberty next to it and also, midtown fireworks with Empire State Building behind it, it was so New York, I loved it!

(it is always so hard to take fireworks pictures… and I don’t know if you can see the Manhattan behind it, but hope you get the picture…)
