πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children who appreciate independent films and don't mind a treasure hunt to find the venue. The intimate, clean environment offers a refreshing alternative to mainstream theaters, but the hidden location and cash-only policy require advance planning.

β€œVery clean, staff is really nice and helpful! It’s in the basement of an apartment complex but if you follow the signs you’ll find it easily, and the staff in the building will direct you as well. Great selection of films showing; it was the only place in NYC I could find playing the movie I wanted to see. Great experience and would def make the trek from Manhattan to come out there again!!”
