A large number of classic drive-in theaters have been renovated and reopened in recent years, revitalizing the industry for new generations of viewers. I love an evening under the stars watching a good movies. These theaters throughout the New York State region offer double nightly showings of classic hits, modern blockbusters, and independent films. I included many that offer classic diner fare and family-friendly activities such as miniature golf courses and children’s playgrounds.
