Movie Night: "Little Fugitive" (1953) —
Wednesday, July 1, Dusk (approx. 8:30 p.m.)
"'Little Fugitive' is the story of a 7-year-old boy named Joey (Richie Andrusco) who runs away to Coney Island after being tricked into thinking he’s killed his older brother Lennie (Rickie Brewster). Joey’s adventures and Lennie’s search for his lost little brother make for a charming adventure that chronicles 1950's New York in perfect detail. From the view under the boardwalk to a summer storm that clears the beach, Engel’s camera never fails to register the moments that create a magical atmosphere."

Become a Garden Volunteer
Elizabeth Street Garden is 100% staffed by volunteers from our community. The more volunteers there are, the more hours the Garden can be open.
Volunteering simply involves welcoming visitors to the Garden for just ONE hour at a time. Some volunteers volunteer each week, and other less frequently. Volunteering is FLEXIBLE. To become a volunteer, click here.
