One of New York's oldest continuously operated Drive-in Movie Theatres, the Sunset isn't just managing to carry on, it's carrying on a family tradition; for theirs and yours. If you're old enough to remember, your parents might've taken you here, back when it was being run by the parents of the present day hosts & operators. And it has remained a family affair through 70 consecutive season. And among other traditions maintained here, the Sunset still has the traditional playground to entertain the wee folk before show time. Among other enhancements and improvements down through the years: there are now three screens, a lot of interesting and colorful antique pieces and nostalgic touches, plus a sit-down retro-deco diner restaurant (open daily from 4PM), with tables, booths, and even counter seating in an appropriately retro setting. The Picture Show begins as the name has always suggested after the Sun sets (and plays to more than 900 cars), and with all three of their screens being lit with a double-feature. Audio for the Movies' soundtrack is provided via localized FM radio broadcast. Screen One: 104.9 FM; Screen Two: 103.7 FM; Screen Three: 105.5 FM. The Drive-in season here typically runs (weather willing) from mid April thru mid October. Admission: $9 for ages 12 and up; $4 for ages 5- 11; kids aged 4 and under are admitted free. As for March of 2021, the Sunset Drive-in has been listed for sale. There is no purchase price listed.
