Then stop by Intermission, Mo Diggs and Matt Nagin's monthly showcase (fourth Wednesday of every month) of comedians and musicians. Intermission is a stand-up comedy show with two musical intermissions by the musical guest for that month. It's like SNL with stand-up instead of sketch.

RiverFlicks for Grown-Ups - The Dark Knight

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Wednesday, July 22nd
Time: Dusk (around 8:30pm)
Location: Pier 54 (14th St. and the Hudson River)
Cost: Free

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's film The Dark Knight features Heath Ledger's Oscar winning Joker.
