There are two drive-in theaters in New York's Hudson Valley.
I took a girl I was dating to one of them, in Hyde Park NY, which was unfortunately playing Gone In 60 Seconds at the time...terrible movie, but whatever, you don't generally go to a drive-in for the movie.
Saw the Planet of the Apes reboot at the same drive-in with some of my friends. We brought chairs, sat outside, and drank beers during the movie. It was awesome.
And I took another girl to a different drive in, in Poughkeepsie NY. We had been dating for a few months. This was back in 2010.
I really like drive-ins. They've got that old-time Americana feel. You drive up, park, and just tune your radio to a local station that pipes the audio in to your car. Which means you can also turn it down if the movie kind of sucks but you just want to hang out with your girl.
Also, both of the ones I've been to had those central concession stands, and both of them were the old-school original concessions that had been restored.
But most of all I like the feeling of watching movies under an open sky on warm summer nights...to me, that's fun, and an excuse to get out.
