Luke Atmee: Best movie theatre ever. Reclining seats that go all the way back, and that are super comfy. Be sure to make ur reservation ahead of time via Fandango!
Jared Wick: The seats are huge, plush recliners so you can sit close and lay back. The best way to watch a movie.
angela gaylor: This is maybe the best movie theater in NYC. Reserved reclining loungers with tons of space. Although the recliners are clean, I always wear pants and long sleeves just in case:)
