Tuesday Nights: Valentino Pier Summer Movies

The Red Hook Summer Movie Fest may have started on July 13th, but have no fear you've got 6 more Tuesday screenings left to enjoy before summer is officially over (series runs until September 14th). Tonight's film selection is The Secret of Roan Inish, written and directed by John Sayles. It was released in 1994 and is based on the novel The Secret of Ron Mor Skerry, by Rosalie K. Fry. The film has been praised for "its breathtaking cinematography, filmed by Haskell Wexler." Amazing cinematography coupled with breathtaking views of Lady Liberty all while curled up on a blanket with your loved ones. What could be better on a Tuesday night? So go ahead, pack a picnic but be sure to save room for the $1 gourmet popcorn from Home/Made. Set up and seating begins at 8pm and the movie usually screens around 8:30pm. And the best part? (other than it being FREE) Well-behaved pets are welcome to join you on-leash. For directions, more info and a complete schedule of films, visit the official website HERE.

Win a $10,000 living room makeover from Room and Board

Not to be a big ol' shill, but I love Room and Board. Most of my living room is occupied by a huge RandB sectional (nicknamed "The Sleepinator"). It's timeless and indestructible and super comfortable. I'm sitting in a Room & Board chair as I type this. If my family can't destroy this furniture, no one can.

So while I wish I could enter this contest, I'd feel pretty silly sending in pics of my RandB living room and asking for a makeover. But if you're not in love with your space, now is your chance to score some stuff.
