Forest Hills Inn Tea Garden

A reader who went to their recent flea market sent me a photo of the t-shirt he picked up there...kinda cool...

  He also mentioned that he overheard the organizers discussing some possible ideas to do with this lovely space. One thing they mentioned was possibly showing outdoor movies, he heard them say.

That's a nice idea, but I know some of the local residents aren't thrilled with the idea of using the space because of noise concerns. I had also heard that Jade was going to possibly use the space. But, so far, nothing is certain about the future of one of Forest Hills' most pleasant spots.

Kubrick Film Shoot Photos

Some pics sent in to me of the film being shot in the Gardens yesterday. The movie is about the life of legendary director Stanley Kubrick. You can find more info about the film, and the future plans for the Tea Garden where it is being filmed, on DNAinfo.com:

Tea Garden Mystery Solved!

A reader cleared up the mysterious renovation going on at the historic Tea Garden, in back of the Forest Hills Inn. I'm told it is for a movie shoot there starting Tuesday about legendary film director Stanley Kubrick. They have transformed the Tea Garden into Oktoberfest in 1957 Munich, Germany for the shoot. Here are some photos. I'm working on getting the name of the movie, but so far no luck. If anyone knows, please let me know (Kubrick was/is one of my favorite all-time directors, so I'm quite excited about this!)

Boy, wouldn't it be beautiful to have public use of the Tea Garden again? It just sits there dilapidated. What a waste.
