Not anymore. (Or at least not till November.) Presenting: DRV-IN, new on the LES. The brainchild of Hall and Ben Smyth, the Canadian set designers who brought you PONG, DRV-IN is a one-car drive-in movie theater available for the next 40 days. (It's also Manhattan's only drive-in of any size.) Inside a 1965 Ford Falcon convertible, you'll watch one of the classic films of the last 50 years, along with popcorn, bottled water and anything else you can tactfully sneak in. (Translation: Break out the Jujubes flask.) The reservation process is simple: Go to the website, book the night and time you want, close the deal with the magic of eBay and email the management with your movie preference. Cost, including a DVD: $75. And while the Falcon seats six comfortably (thanks, 1960s American engineering), we see this as more of a fresh date-night concept. Picture it: you, her, a backseat full of plush red leather and nobody else around. Buckle up. |
