This is the coolest new experience in NYC! It’s your own private screening room for dinner & a movie. They have so many movies to choose from including those that are currently in theatres. You start the evening in their lounge where you get to choose records to play during dinner. Then you head down to your private theatre that already has the first course set for dinner. Each dinner is specially curated for you based on your preferences and the film. There’s also wine and speciality cocktails. We ended with dessert and coffee then jumped into our plush, reclinable seats. They even gave us cozy blankets. After the film started they surprised us with some popcorn. And when we left we got a few mementos. Definitely a high class experience. A++++ highly recommend!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children or teens celebrating a milestone — birthday, graduation, or special occasion. The sophisticated dining format and premium experience are designed for guests who can appreciate an elevated evening. The private room format also works well for smaller family groups who want a cinema experience without a crowd.

My friends and I went here to celebrate my birthday. This was an amazing experience that I chose based on an influencer’s suggestion. We were seated in a private room where we met our servers and ate from the delicious menu. I appreciate that they took into consideration anyone’s allergies. They played music from the record player giving it a swanky vintage vibe. After we ate we sat back in lounge chairs with our feet up and watched the movie of our choice. They served us blankets and kept refilling our drinks. I loved their attentiveness and vibes. Definitely a place to go to again.

Just WOW!! Had the best time at Metro Cinema with a group of friends over the weekend. The space is gorgeous, the food is delicious, the staff is incredible (shoutout to Theo!), and the whole experience is so unique. It’s such an elevated and intimate take on the movie-going experience. All of the little touches (a drink upon arrival, picking your own records to play, personal popcorn bowls, blankets!!) made it so special and memorable. We all left saying it was one of the best nights we’ve had in NYC. Highly highly recommend for a special occasion or just a fun night out!

Very cool experience!! The private theater was amazing - spacious and comfortable, felt like someone's living room! The food was really good and we had plenty of time to eat and drink before they turned the movie on. The staff was very attentive and made the experience wonderful! Such a great idea for a party or group gathering, highly recommend, and very much worth the cost.
