RiverFlicks for Grown-Ups - Sex and The City
FreeNYC Event Flyer
Date: Wednesday, August 12th
Time: Dusk (around 8:30pm)
Location: Pier 54 (14th St. and the Hudson River)



On top of getting to watch movies overlooking Hudson River on beautiful summer nights, the other thing I like about River Flicks is that every year they pick a central theme for their screenings. This year's they "know what you did last summer" and screen films released in 2008. Tonight Carrie comes to the big screen in the Sex and The City movie.
