A drive-in extravaganza is planned to take place in a Yankee Stadium-area parking lot for a few weekends this summer, organizers say, to offer New Yorkers a little socially-distanced levity amid the coronavirus health crisis.
Starting in July, a "festival-like" event called Uptown Drive-In will be held on the weekends near the home of the Bronx Bombers and it will host drive-in movies, live music from local artists, car side dinner service from street vendors and more, Time Out New York reports.

Attendees can enjoy the carnival-like festivities from the safety of their cars by viewing the entertainment from a lifted stage, and tune in to listen from the PA system of their vehicle’s radio.
Coordinated by MASC Hospitality Group, Uptown Drive-in plans to host “date nights” on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and a “family-friendly brunch” series through the day on Saturdays and Sunday.
