The
Westbury Drive-In, opened in 1953 on Brush Hollow Road with a single screen and expanded in the late '70s to three screens. As a kid in the early '90s this was one of my absolute favorite places to go see a movie, our technique was to back our Jeep into the spot instead of parking head in, then open the trunk and put the back seats down and my sister and I would have a little room in the trunk to watch from while our parents sat outside on beach chairs. The Drive-In closed in 1998, replaced by a 12 screen indoor theatre. The Westbury Drive-In was Long Island's last, the end written about in the NYTimes found
