1. Four Brothers Drive-In Theatre
100 miles from NYC
It seems almost cruel to award top honors to an upstart like Four Brothers, which opened in upstate hamlet Amenia in 2012, seeing as how drive-ins are normally more of a retro destination. But this stylishly designed theater—the country’s newest drive-in—is impossible not to love. Showing first-run double-features seven nights a week for a reasonable $9, Four Brothers is a colorful, unique spot that’s a Harlem Valley must-visit. Don’t skip the freshly made lemonade and locally sourced burgers and dogs. 4957 Route 22, Amenia, NY (845-373-8178, playeatdrink.com)
