Editor’s Pick

Before outdoor movie season really picks up, I’m here suggest an idea for date nights, family movie nights, and even solo adventures: Stardust Drive-In. It’s located ~40 miles away in Watertown.

What’s playing

  • This weekend: “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” “Project Hail Mary,” “Michael,” and “The Housemaid”
  • Upcoming: New releases + Retro Wednesdays

Food and drinks

  • In addition to popcorn, nachos, and soda, you can choose from a variety of hot foods and desserts.
  • Bringing your own snacks? Add on an $8 food permit with your tickets. Pro tip: Lebanon’s food truck park is a convenient stop on the way.
