Yevgen Z.Yevgen Zolotarov: The best movie viewing experience. I never want to go back to a regular movie theatre.

Christina C.Christina Chin: No idea the theater was there way downstairs. Burger was ok and salted caramel shake was a bit too sweet. Theater small but seats recline yet table doesn't move?

Karen C.Karen Chin: Look for the chase bank and those escalators will lead you down to the theatre. Leave yourself enough time to walk through the whole building before you get to your seat. 3-5 minutes New York pace.
