Memorial Day on the Intrepid…Clinton, NYC (via Brock and Corie)

New York’s 24th Fleet Week began this morning as the Parade of Ships including the USS New York arrived in the harbor for a long-weekend of events.
The tribute to America’s armed forces will include ship tours, free concerts, military demonstrations, a flyover and a wreath-laying ceremony on Memorial Day. Check out NewYorkology for a full schedule of events this weekend.

On paper, going to see a movie outdoors on one of the city’s patches of grass is a great idea. In reality, it can often get very crowded…especially with all the classic flicks screening around town this summer. Should you want to brave the crowds, check out this outdoor movie guide put together by Gothamist.
