One of the best things to do in Williamsburg is head to the East River State Park on a Thursday this summer and enjoy Summer Starz 2009.  It takes place in the most absolutely perfect setting right by the river, facing Manhattan with the Empire State Building in the background.  Your night starts at 6pm with children’s hour, 7pm live music, and a movie at 8pm.  I love outdoor movies in New York and there are some good ones coming up.  They are projected onto a huge screen, big enough for everyone to see from a far distance. Bring a picnic, a blanket and some chairs and your night is ready.  You get can ice cream from the truck and popcorn right by the entrance, play some basketball on the court before the show, or just relax on the grass.  Below is the calendar of events for the upcoming Thursdays:
