The theater has been upgraded with reclining seats , fancy bathrooms and concessions. Its not your granny's theater anymore! Makes for a nice theater going experience.

Love the reclining seats and assigned seating. Not too crazy about the price; $20. Also a bottle of Dasani water is $4.50- crazy!!

Norman Ellis

In winter months in Cinema 1 sit on the right side of the theater. It's warmer on that side. Trust!

Some of the most comfortable reclining seats of any cinema in New York City . Go before 12 noon to get half-price admission!

Amy Babic

Get a bite to eat before or after at Kurant around the corner on 58th and 2nd. Great wine list , happy hour , and burger

Scott Ingles

The most comfortable seats you'll ever find. Even the very front row had a great view of the screen.

Jason Spak

The type of theatre in need of upgrades but would be sad if there were any. A classic cramped NYC apt feel that befits opening nights for Woody Allen films . Stay true city cinemas 1, 2 & 3.

Kimmie Ohh

This theater isn’t busy & it’s quiet . Another bonus is their reclining seats !

Frank Rizzo

Nice retro movie house. I was there for the first time since "The Exorcist" 40 years ago. It hasn't changed.

Charles Dale

I do not like the reserved seating policy. Sometimes you may want to sit in another seat, row etc. and you can't just take another empty seat . Get rid of the reserved seating.

Prescott Perez-Fox

Small screen and awkward aisles but generous leg room in theatre #3. Downstairs and to thee right, I think it's 3.

Jineen Carcamo

I had no idea this place had huge, comfy reclining seats - great find!

Deborah Newman

Upstairs Cinema 1 is shallow and very wide. But as noted above, the seats suck! But as one of the last standing theaters in the neighborhood , I'd hate to see it go the way of many others -- closed.

Leroy

Small theater. Currently undergoing renovation, which is much needed! Staff is ultra friendly and service is impeccable!

Stephanie Smith

Such an uncomfortable movie theatre. No room to even move your legs, let alone get in a comfortable position. The screen is so small and there's no organized system to get into the theatre...

Alessio Fanelli

$9 Sunday through Thursday + 50% off food and drinks 👌🏼

Brenda Paris

Well , I will start by saying there was a potential fight brewing. This theater is for oldsters and they are very cranky.

Fantastic reclining chairs . Just the best

Michelle Viau

Tried to get tickets to something I was really looking forward to seeing. Came early and was told it was sold out that I should have gotten them online. DUH! I tried for days and couldn't.

Michelle Alexander

They renovated and put in big reclining chairs .

Tabitha Johnson

Nice comfy seats since renovation. $18 tickets, though.

Worstest movie theater in whole New-York ...

Scott Weinfeld

Reserved seating not needed during off peak. Someone sat nect to me with 150 empty seats

Brian Pinard

Good clean bathrooms .

Sam Winnick

Theater has recliners... No reason to see a move anywhere else.

Jill Lawson

Quiet UES cinema with all the best films .

iJeffry

Now that it's remodeled, it's marvelous!

Michelle Viau

...Was told even if there were tickets available if the system says sold out (even if its not) they can't sell me the tickets. So due to a glitch I can get tickets to what I want to see. So stupid!!!

Ruby Anaya

Reserved seats 💺 and recliners!

Emily Mullen

Come on a Friday night right after work and you won't have to deal with big crowds.

E W.

This theatre has the best popcorn ever!! It's one of my favorites in NYC!

Definitely needs to be updated. However, I can't remember the last time I've encountered friendly staff in a movie theater in NYC.

Great seats!!! Customer service is in need of improvement.

nicole bethell

I feel like I'm waiting to watch the Price is Right with all these old people.

Monica

This place is so gross but they play good movies so you gotta do what you gotta do. Seats are so nasty I don't even want to take off my coat.

Stephen U

This place is terrible. A few seats even have caution tape on them. Horrible space and horrible people come to talk during movies while the ushers stand by and do nothing. Totally disappointed.

Dennise Edgerton

Te seats are hard as rocks! Not good for any movie specially not a long one... Needs serious renovation

Samantha

Planning on sneaking in? You can't. Employees block the entries after a movie finishes. :(

Mike S

This place has the best staff .
