Have a great deal for a economy size popcorn and drink that is perfect for one person and you don't feel fat after eating a whole bag of popcorn! Also the seats are very comfortable

This LES indie multiplex, located in a handsome Yiddish vaudeville theater dating back to 1909, offers a well-curated mix of new independent films and goofy midnight classics. Read more

They have a special Melt ice cream sandwich flavor called little miss sunshine that you can't anywhere else, so probably get it.

Great cinema. Thoughtful & varied selection of (mostly) indie flicks. Clean, well-appointed theatres & the best selection of vegan/diet friendly snacks (alongside killer above standard "normal" fare)

Couples visit this theater to canoodle in the dark while watching quality indie fare. Landmark hosts one of the best midnight-movie series in town, screening both cult faves and classics. Read more

Love this theater. It's always showing great movies that you can't see elsewhere in the city - very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere

One of our favorite theaters in the city. It's mostly independent films and the atmosphere is cozy and intimate. Save a couple bucks and come here instead of the larger theaters.

Be sure to come here to catch a midnight flick, or really at any time. The selection of independent films can't be beat!

Really nice indie cinema. The bigger screens have stadium seating, which gives it a leg up over Angelika.

I frequent this place for their cool midnight movies. They also play many cool indie films. One of the better art house style theatres in NYC.

This independently-run movie theater will play some hard-to-watch films. I've seen screenings of "The Room" and Miyazaki's "The Wind Rises" here; keep an eye on their website for details!

probably the best arthouse in the city. but do try to come early. they barely show any previews, and depending on who's at the ticket booth, they usually refuse to sell tickets 5mins prior to showtime

One of my favorite movie theaters in NYC. The movie selection is always great and they tend to have stuff way before anyone else.

Truly a landmark! Always has great films. The interior is hip and oldschool. Going on a date there could help you demonstrate some value to your lady!
