Brooklyn isn’t the only trendy borough when it comes to free summer time activities.
Queens is pretty much the new hip hot spot and we all know it. This summer, Astoria and Long Island City are putting out their own summer film series. The parks are on rotation throughout the summer ranging from the Astoria Park’s Great Lawn to Randall’s Island Park, to Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City.
The line up is pretty family friendly and should be a great and free way to get outdoors. Check out it out below:
