Drive-in theaters around the Hudson Valley (2023)
Four Brothers Drive-In
Modern take on a retro drive-in behind the Four Brothers restaurant in the center of Amenia. The small eastern Dutchess town was once home to the smallest theater in the world but now a half-a-mile away, the town’s drive-in is America’s newest drive-in theater built from the ground up. And it comes complete with a snack bar with car service (including Four Brothers-made Greek yogurt), electric car charging station, mini-golf, on-site camping and the Hotel Caravana, a rentable jungle-themed Airstream RV equipped with a Polaroid, iPad, bikes (and plans for a jacuzzi) in the drive-in’s lot filled with kitschy, handmade pieces from across America (think: PeeWee’s house from the 1985 film).
