Bike-In Theater Dinner With Caddyshack

Saturday, June 4, at 7pm
Forget sticky theater seats and Diet Coke – wouldn’t you rather be sipping an Arnold Palmer out in the cool night air?  Forking Tasty has got you covered.
Why? Because you can pay homage to both a movie favorite and your favorite mode of transportation.

Fight Big Coal by Sitting on Your Butt

Friday, Saturday and Sunday
You could picket and shout…or just see The Last Mountain, the story of mountaintop removal mining through the lens of Coal River Valley in West Virginia, where activists are trying to stop Massey Energy and other big coal companies from continuing to destroy their communities. Filmmaker Bill Haney will appear with Environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Friday, June 3rd for a Q&A after the 7:00pm show.
Why? If enough New Yorkers go to see the film in the first few days, it might open in more theaters and get more show times.
Sunshine Cinema, 143 East Houston Street on the Lower East Side
