Rooftop Film Club at Yotel is horrible ! It's poorely organized + they don't have any roof cover in case of cold/rain so if the weather is bad you are screwed. We went last night for Blade Runner: the movie started 15 minutes earlier, everyone had to sit in rain & cold and the management didn't even have enough blankets. Rooftop Film Club don't offer credit or refunds. We had a very bad time and are very unhappy.
Ummmm, it would be helpful if you added June on!
Where is JUNE???
Rooftop Film Club at Yotel is simply spectacular. Seeing Top Gun on a balmy New York night with the backdrop of Times Square was unforgettable. I was visiting from London, where we also have Rooftop Film Club on top of a Car Park in Peckham. Again great views and great films. I think the New York version wins over London and I am the last person on the planet ever to vote away from my own town. I just found this to be the highlight of our trip.
@The Man on the Street Pity that they were all sold out as of this publication date (which begs the questions - "Why did TO bother to put them on the list anyway?" and "For events like this, shouldnt it be a much shorter lead time to book tickets?"
Event like this always interest me. Most of the movies are good and most of the people looks happy.
Nice web, is complete and i need information everytime. Thanks
