As we mentioned yesterday, the W 45^th & 46^th St Block Associations held their annual Fall Film Screening in Matthews Palmer Playground, and despite the ever-​dropping temperatures, there was a good turnout.

The children got to make their own “seedballs” (exactly what it sounds like – balls of soil full of seeds):

They even had free pumpkin pie and apple cider available (I’m pretty sure the pie was courtesy of Hell’s Kitchen Restaurant, so that’s nice of them):

This is the 8^th year they’ve been running the night, and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down. It’s a great way to bring the local streets together for a family evening before it’s actually winter.

Overall just a nice community night out.

Who says it’s too cold to go outside? The W 45^th St Block Association have organized a double feature tomorrow night at Matthews Palmer Park. The timely Charlie Brown “It’s the Great Pumpkin” will be showing along with a documentary The Vanishing City. The directors of the documentary will even be there for a Q&A after the screening.

It’s all starting at 6:30pm, so bring your blankets. For those of you who have been craving outdoor movies since the ones at the Intrepid finished, your prayers have been answered.

Couldn’t make it to the Summer Movies at the Intrepid? Have a look at this “photo sphere” from the middle of the Star Trek screenings last month. The turnouts for the nights were usually pretty big, and that night was no exception, so it’s interesting to look back and see the crowds.
