The Corcoran GroupJuly 30, 2013This theater is the place to catch an independent film that you can't see anywhere else. Seats aren't stadium style, so be sure to come early to make sure you have a good view of the (small) screen.
Christina BlakeMay 22, 2014Lovely place , it has s different vibe than the usual multiplexes.They even sell cake,cookies, brownies. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. And I will be back to see more indie films.- Christina BlakeMay 22, 2014This place has a different vibe than the usual multiplexes. There was an homey feel to it. Besides popcorn,they served cake,cookies,brownies,juice. thoroughly enjoyed my experience.The place to go.
Paulette OsborneJuly 22, 2016i love this small theater. The snack bar is more reasonable than the big chains. You can even get a sandwich or a piece of carrot cake.
Gajtana SimonovskaNovember 19, 2016For thought provoking art films, among the best theatres in NYC. Helpful staff in a good location.
Zach vSOctober 18, 2013Best movie theater? Maybe. More importantly, movie theater that most feels like you're in a character in a Godard movie.
Emilie FuttermanAugust 10, 2015Cheapest ticket in the city with a great selection of independent films. cash only concession stand.
Paco MD FACSMarch 12, 2016Great place around the area and away from Times Square. And the crowd is good too
Jairus AbtsFebruary 21, 2013Bring cash. Yet another example of a NY business punishing their patrons for using debit/credit cards. No cards at the box office, then bark at you to use the kiosk downstairs with a $1.50/ticket fee.
Debra DeBoiseApril 3, 2014V.M., a fascinating person, and a great photographer! One of the best Documentaries!
Monica CullenJuly 26, 2015Buy your tickets upstairs and your popcorn downstairs. 5$...too bad the machine was broken at the time 😑
Alex RobertsonJanuary 11, 2017the underground vibe is odd, but I have them to thank for viewings of KID WITH A BIKE and PATERSON!
PeeshepigAugust 3, 2013BRING CASH! Or you will wait on a long line with seniors & not find out until you get to BO. Kiosk in lobby will accept CC for a fee. The concession is CASH ONLY as well.PEPSI no Coke..
Tim SheyNovember 21, 2010For whatever it's worth, this may be the only movie theater in the U.S. serving carrot cake, rugelach, and smoked salmon sandwiches. (I love New York.)
Chef FrytzMarch 25, 2016No cell service in this basement cinema, though they always seem to have top-notch flicks!
RazorfishSeptember 20, 2011Absolutely contrast to the major theater chains. Not nearly as sterile and some of the best independent films.
Louis MattaDecember 11, 2015The staff is either rude, strange, or unenthusiastic about anything. The decor is a bit bizarre and the theaters are that overlong style.
Angela KuoDecember 8, 2012Observation: smells like an elderly persons musky closet. Tip: Get there earlier, people line up half hour before for movies you wouldn't expect a line.
Sam SNovember 28, 2015Dark. Drab. The theater smelled of mildew. Seats are uncomfortable. On the plus side, other attendees are friendly. Would rather go to the Chelsea theater for the same movies but a better experience.
Go Find AliceFebruary 27, 2017A very old and expensive cinema. Smaller screens than AMC/Regal. Vintage vibe
Elie BleierFebruary 5, 2015Catch a matinee, and all the ladies up in here could be your crazy jewish grandma.
The bags of broken sourdough pretzels are awesome to munch on during the movie.
Good selection of candy and treats at prices below the big chain theaters.
- DAugust 8, 2013Cash only. Decent value considering the location. Clientele almost all 70+ years old.
Drew ButlerJuly 16, 2011The screens here are like clown cars, they're so small, you're not quite sure how you can fit so many people on them.
Andres VazquezFebruary 19, 2011Was made to stand in line for a 10pm show of black swan. I was the only one in line. Lame. Thought I was in a hidden video show. Otherwise, great place.
There is a machine to purchase tickets with a credit card in the lobby. $1.50 service charge.
