Rooftop Cinema Under the Stars
Deck chairs, string lights and a film on a screen the size of a building, with the skyline glowing behind it.
Terrace Screen, Chicago
Summer evenings
Half the fun is the hour before the film starts, when the sky is still pink and everyone is settling in with blankets and snacks.
How the night goes
- 01Arrive an hour early for a back-row seat with the skyline behind you.
- 02Bring a blanket — rooftops turn cold fast.
- 03Walk somewhere for a nightcap afterwards.
