Regal Essex Crossing

“The Regal Essex is one of the most conveniently located movie theaters in Manhattan, especially for anyone relying on public transportation. It is easily accessible via multiple subway lines, including the F and A trains, making it a stress-free destination whether you’re coming from uptown, downtown, or another borough. The surrounding area feels safe and well-lit, even during evening showtimes, which is an important factor for moviegoers heading home after a late screening. The theater itself is consistently very clean, from the lobby to the individual screening rooms. The staff deserves special recognition—they are friendly, helpful, and efficient, which makes the entire experience feel welcoming rather than rushed or impersonal. Concessions move quickly, even during peak hours, and the area is well organized, reducing long waits before showtime. Inside the individual theaters, cleanliness and comfort continue to stand out. Many of the auditoriums feature comfortable recliner seats, which greatly enhance longer films. The temperature is well controlled, avoiding the common problem of theaters being too cold or too warm. Another major advantage of Regal Essex is its proximity to numerous restaurants and food options nearby. Whether you want a quick bite before the movie or a sit-down meal afterward, there are plenty of choices within walking distance. Overall, Regal Essex offers a reliable, comfortable, and convenient moviegoing experience in the heart of New York City.”

“I had a wonderful experience here! Wonderful service from the staff that I interacted with- the guy who scanned our tickets was wonderful! Extremely friendly during entering (he even reminded me to send a screenshot to my second guest who was late to arrive), he also opened the downstairs door for us as we existed in the same friendly manner. The seats here are the some of the best and comfortable seats I’ve experienced. The recline on the seats is the most I’ve seen, also very plush and clean. Sound system was great, I came here to see a movie of a concert. The bar is great. I had a raspberry Long Island ice tea and it lasted me throughout the entirety of the film. Great portion size and strength as you could imagine with it being a LIT. Great prices for the drinks in comparison to a nearby bar you’d pay a similar price, I was expected it to be higher since it’s a move theater. May look like a lot of ice but there’s a lot of liquid in there too, trust me. Only downside was the pretzel- my friend ordered one and I tried it myself. Totally flavorless even with the cheese dip (I tried a bite with and without). Not the move theater’s fault, I’m sure these overly processed tasteless pretzels are distributed to all Regal locations. Could use more salt for starters, only positive thing I could say was that it was warm. Bathroom facilities and the atmosphere in general is very clean and orderly. Highly recommended, I’d return.”

“From the moment you walk into the theater, you’re greeted by Edgar with such a genuine embrace and welcoming energy. He truly sets the tone for the entire experience. His warmth, kindness, and positive attitude make you feel valued and appreciated every single time. It’s rare to encounter someone who brings that level of hospitality so consistently. He’s a big reason why I love coming back to this theater!”

“I've watched about 40 movies here. Usually this place is great. Today tho I went to see The Bride and had one of the worst experiences of my life, every ~10 minutes the whole movie went black and they had to rewind it. Not much was offered in the way of solutions or compensations, but given that the entire theater was literally packed at the beginning of the showing, there's probably over $20,000 worth of tickets in there, you would think that that would buy us a free drink as an apology 🤷‍♂️”
