This is the closest drive-in to the New York City/Northern New Jersey area (about 50 miles from Manhattan). Drive-ins were once situated all over Bergen and Hudson Counties. Fans of those good old days should patronize the Warwick for a really fun time-warp experience.
I was a projectionist in 1968, we showed Woodstock, Midnight Cowboy and what do you say to a maked lady.
Single screen 2 projectors, 20 minute reels and carbon arc in 68'

Here is a nice 2008 photo.
I lived in Franklin, New Jersey for over a year after Katrina. I used to go to this drive in often.
Opened on April 28, 1950.
