CHELSEA?Next week, the High Line will kick off a movie series that celebrates New York City in the 1980s, a time when the elevated park was taken over by nature. The first film, The Muppets Take Manhattan, starts at 7 p.m. on Thursday, September 6. The free series continues the following two Thursday with Wild Style on the 13th and Working Girl on the 20th. No RSVP is required, but seating in the 14th Street Passage is limited. And if you're wondering how a multi-million dollar park relates to these films, the press release states: "Just as today's High Line is a story of resourcefulness and creativity, so are the stories of the movie characters in this film series: the notorious Muppets, the young wild style graffiti artists, and Tess McGill, the secretary struggling to make it in the big city."
