Parking lot and park pop-ups are selling out fast.
Josh Brasted/Getty Images, FILEpandemic, sales at the Bel Aire Diner in Astoria, Queens, were down nearly 70%. Like so many small businesses striving to stay afloat, the owners had to get creative.

Drivers have recently sold out screenings at pop-up drive-ins at the Bucktown Marina park in Metairie, La., and the parking lot of the Broadway Commons mall in Hicksville, N.Y. A drive-in at Long Island's Adventureland launches Saturday with a sold-out screening of"The Mighty Ducks." One of the largest yet, an outdoor theater that can accommodate up to 230 cars, is planned for Hard Rock Stadium, where the Miami Dolphins play.
"We chose that one because we figured for the near future, drive-ins are the future," Plaza owner Chris Escobar told ABC News. Drive-ins aren't just for movies now, either. The Plaza is hosting a drive-in wedding on Saturday at one of its lots and has been approached about doing book readings. The Bel Aire Diner also does brunch and, earlier this week, held a comedy night, where comics performed from the bed of a pickup truck. The diner will hold another comedy event on Sunday night.
