this movie theater typically shows under the radar indie and foreign films. It can be a bit hit or miss but often you can find real gems.

Best popcorn ever. Order w/o butter 😋

The seats in Theater 1 are strange. One is practically lying down & staring up at the screen. Good for date night, I guess.

Don't miss midnight showings of classic and clever flicks. Jaws in the winter is a must!

If you can't get your hygiene under control, please stay home so that other people aren't forced to get an enhanced movie going experience.

The intro (don't talk, don't use your phone) is frustratingly long.

See a "Roadshow" event and watch films the way they always intended to be seen. CHE and THE RED RIDING TRILOGY were hopefully the first of many to follow.

Great place for a midnight movie!

Like having an ongoing film festival right in the neighborhood.

Great selection of films.
Jessica BarnettJanuary 15, 2012
This place really knows how to ruin a good movie. Fire alarm went off three times, sound was turned off, and movie stopped for several minutes.

Love coming here to watch the Oscar nominated short films!

Theater five is tiny! Comfy though.

Another one of the many things I've checked on in the neighborhood.

Organic popcorn sets this indie venue apart and it's rep as a hotspot for sneak preview screenings.

Other then the Sunshine and the Paris, are there any other theatres in NYC as nice as this one?

Real New Yorkers (born & bred) will always remember this place as The Waverly.

Best theater seats in NYC. Saw 13 Assassins and loved it.

Get a season pass to Stranger Than Fiction - it's the best deal in the city if you're a doocumentary film buff!

Lots of great director talks post screening

Movies don't always start on time. You might be waiting in line for a while.
Gabe AJuly 9, 2011
Don't sit on the end of the row. There's no side or arm rest. You'll feel like you're falling off.
Chad StollerApril 23, 2011
Back row in theatre 3 is the way to go.
