Heroes in a Half Shell-TMNT @ Tribeca Drive-In 4/23

So the weather is officially getting gorgeous and that means free outdoor movies! With the Tribeca Film Festival just around the corner get in on some free flicks at the World Financial Center Plaza. In honor of their 25th anniversary, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will make a totally radical appearance along with their sidekick April at the Drive-In's giant pizza party and screening of their 1990 film.

To welcome the Turtles, the plaza will be decorated with glow-in-the-dark manhole covers. Families can climb inside the all-new Party Wagon, a mobile treasure trove based on the original Party Van. Kids can get their faces painted Turtle-style, take pictures at the photo booth, and pick up new moves with karate demos!
