The pandemic has revived the classic American tradition of the drive-in as a safe way to stay entertained without potentially spreading coronavirus. One hospitality group based in New York has decided to do just that in a parking lot at Yankee Stadium.
MASC Hospitality Group came up with the idea for Uptown Drive-In in late March after realizing that many of their events, such as the Bronx Night Market, would be canceled this summer."It's a food festival meets cultural event meets classic drive-in," co-owner Marco Shalma told CNN."We wanted to create a space where people can eat, watch films or comedians, play bingo and even have date nights in a way that is safe.

The events will run until August, Shalma said. "We had more than 9,000 people register to attend already and so many amazing people jumping in to offer partnerships," he said.
