Brendan A. • May 15, 2017Great programming, nice theaters, cafe is good too.

Roni L. • December 31, 2011Try the Creamy Cornmeal Polenta - Wooooooow! I really dug this one! It came with homemade arugula-walnut pesto and fontina cheese.

Jane C. • February 19, 2013Delicious Trout and Spicy Sicilian Cauliflower

Paulette O. • December 17, 2015Love this intimate little theater. Two theaters. Not a bad seat in the house.

Anastasia I. • July 26, 2012Come EARLY. 30 min early and already sitting in the back.

New York Habitat • March 7, 2012A great place for a unique movie experience. The theater has a really vintage feel to it and shows only one movie at a time. Try to be seated on the balcony where you will have the best view

Gothamist • February 12, 2015Originally opened in 1926, the space has in its long history housed everything from vaudeville to off-Broadway. Their gorgeous main theater will often show whatever the biggest seller of the week is.

Julia K. • February 6, 2014Grab drinks/food from the 6th floor bar & enjoy the latest movies quietly. Super comfy chairs/foot rests & sweet candy for all. Most importantly, no kids! :)

Melissa • March 5, 2015Super cute theatre. Small but cozy. Very friendly staff. Would definitely return to see another flick!

Jeff P. • October 22, 2014Love the movies, the space, and the people here. Theaters might be small and you can hear the subway, but just sit close to the screen and enjoy the charm of it all. Try an almond raspberry bar too.

L. T. • February 26, 2018Seats are very comfortable! Huge screen, any seat is perfect. Great atmosphere at the bar/restaurant upstairs. They’ll let you bring coffee down to the theatre-not alcohol though.
