"Bond over your mutual affinity for the silver screen at Syndicated. This Bushwick bar and restaurant, which usually shows movies in a theater in the back, is currently offering free showings on their sidewalk every day." - team infatuation
"Syndicated is an awesome warehouse-converted art deco dine-in cinema, restaurant, and bar. You wouldn't know it from the outside (the only sign is some tiny lettering next to an indistinct door) but step inside and you're in an expansive, exquisitely detailed restaurant with a bar in the center and a very vintage feel. The theater in the back doesn't show first-run blockbusters but rather 80s camp, black and white classics, cheesy comedies, art-house flicks, and the occasional Oscar nod. Buy a ticket for $3 ($5 for double-features—I know) to gain access to their 50-seat screening room where filmgoers can sit back in roomy leather banquettes with small tables to enjoy food and drinks with their entertainment. Their selection of artisanal snacks includes steak frites, loaded tater tots, and bowls of eight different flavors of gourmet popcorn. This place is brand new and surely will become a neighborhood favorite." - Radish Lab
"When it’s too hot to think, it’s prime time to turn off your brain and go to a movie inside. Even better? Go to a movie where you can also drink and eat. Syndicated in Bushwick screens cult favorite movies daily, and tickets are super cheap. Drinking a cocktail in a movie theater just never gets old." - katherine lewin
"Did you know that a film adaptation of a 148-tweet Twitter thread is coming to theaters at the end of June? Now you have a good ice breaker for your next drink meet-up. And if you and your date happen to discover a mutual affinity for the silver screen, you can make a monthly plan to hang out at Syndicated. This Bushwick bar and restaurant, which has a theater in the back, is currently offering free showings on their sidewalk every day." - nikko duren
"Some of the spots in this guide have a weekly showing or two, but Syndicated in Bushwick hosts free screenings on their sidewalk every single day at 9pm. (You can see the monthly schedule here.) Seats are first come, first served and you should get there before 8pm if you want to secure a spot. The outdoor set-up is covered in case it rains." - hannah albertine, kenny yang
