Now in its fourth year, Brew at the Zoo is a special event at the Bronx Zoo which lets ticketholders get unlimited tastings on over 100 types of beer and wine, listen to music, dance, and even explore the park after hours.
From 6 to 7:30 p.m. grizzly bears, giraffes, lemurs, sea lions and more will be on exhibit. Stop by and see your favorites before the unlimited beer tastings begin. At 7 p.m. we'll start pouring samples of over 100 varieties of wine and beer, so you can find a new favorite or enjoy a classic. When you're drinking beer, you need food, and we'll have plenty of options. Sample from numerous food trucks or enjoy classic bites at one of our zoo cafes, there will be a wide array of treats available for purchase. Throughout the night, channel your inner rock star and sing karaoke with a live band, test your animal IQ during bar trivia, or take a break at the retro 80's lounge. We'll provide the soundtrack with a live band and DJs.
This year's event is talking place on Friday, June 14th, with tickets starting at just $39. Head to the event page for more info.
Our friends at the City's official tourism bureau NYCgo have compiled a great list of all the free, public, outdoor movies you can find in New York City this summer. Check it out!
Since HBO first started showing films in Bryant Park in 1992, free movie screenings have become a summertime tradition in the City. All kinds of films—Hollywood classics, current blockbusters and indie gems—are screened at outdoor venues throughout the five boroughs, with stunning backdrops like the Manhattan skyline (Brooklyn Bridge Park Movies with a View) and the Coney Island Cyclone (Coney Island Flicks on the Beach).
