Jastine Kho: Best movie theater in Manhattan.. Mainly because of the reclining seats :)
kevin balfe: New recliner seating, tons of legroom and Sony 4k projection.....went from the worst theatre in NYC to the best!
Cooper Smith: Soda machines from the future. 4K projection. Reclining, so-comfortable-you-risk-falling-asleep chairs. And best of all, pre-reserved seating (row E was the perfect distance from the screen)

Andrew C: Film Society at Lincoln Center really has some wonderful films, related to festivals and beyond + their staff is helpful and friendly too... relatively similar price to mainstream theaters tho!!
Phoebe E: Try to get a series pass for the best deal. Remember to check in (4square) outside since the theater doesn't have AT&T reception inside.
David S. Rose: If you have time before or after the film, have dinner at Lincoln Ristorante on the Plaza right over the bridge. It's superb!

John Bogannam: Any time you think the world revolves around you, go watch the show and have Whoopi Goldberg explain to you that it doesn't.
