You wake up on a Saturday morning excited for a total day sans work; only to find out that it’s pouring. What do you do? Luckily, NYC is filled with limitless rainy day options so that your fun isn’t weather-dependent. Since it’s the weekend and we don’t want you to do any work, we took the liberty of finding haute rainy day activities for you. Here are five musts for a not-so-nice New York day.
Nitehawk Cinema Movie Marathon
Watching a movie from the comfort of your couch is great and all, but what if you could go somewhere where you are served food and cocktails while you laze around? Enter Nitehawk Cinema; your one-stop-shop for a full-on day of movies without ever having to leave. This Brooklyn theatre plays all your new blockbuster hits with a side of alternative classics. Upon entering your screening room you will be seated with a small table and impressive menu of booze and bites. So while you escape into your film you are brought back to a reality of truffle popcorn, a Spielburger on brioche with fries, a mini banana tempura with vanilla soft serve and a Firewalker cocktail with house infused jalapeno tequila, passion fruit, orange curacao, and a chili-lime salt rim. The struggle is not real.
