The Riverhead Project Kicks Off Movie Nights

One of downtown Riverhead's most popular eateries has launched another event sure to please. 

The Riverhead Project, located on East Main Street, will raise the curtain on The Movie Project in June; the movie series will continue throughout the summer.

On Monday, Thursday, and Friday evenings beginning at dusk, a large projector screen on the outside bar patio will show different films, according to a theme selected by a guest curator. Saturday evenings could soon be added into the mix.

To make the event even more fun, a cinematic specialty cocktail will be featured each week, in addition to complimentary popcorn. On Monday evenings guests are invited to meet each week’s curator. Here's the June schedule:
