The Lost Theaters of Bay Ridge

(presented alongside Open House New York weekend and Archtober, for Southwest Brooklyn residents who don’t want to go too far!)

Across Bay Ridge, what are now gyms, chain stores, and Asian supermarkets were once movie theaters, with only one of these cinemas (the Alpine) remaining. This tour will not only uncover the history of these buildings but also shed more light on neighborhood history and the story of Brooklyn and New York at the movies. (Tour begins at Fort Hamilton Library; approx. 2 hours)











When: Sun., Oct. 23, 2022 at 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
