I can't get enough of this place. Beautiful theaters and they play the best movies you won't see anywhere else. Stranger than Fiction on Tuesdays is a great doc series. Darn good popcorn too. Read more

Smaller budget films. Cozy space to see a film though. Don't plan to hang out here though, there's no space for that.

The best popcorn in NYC guys. Real butter. All that matters. And other amazing snacks and treats.
Cheryl ClementsFebruary 4, 2015
Some of the best movies in the city, in the worst seats but they have real butter!

Comfortable small theater with ovenly treats and adjustable armrests.
CompassJuly 23, 2013
See the newest independent movies and weekly showings of classic cinema at IFC. Short films screen before every movie, and cult festivals often buy time here.
Erin MurphyNovember 20, 2014
Each theater is super small so get there early if you want to get a good seat.

Popcorn isn't cheapest but tastes okay. Typical NYC movie prices but you can get a membership for discount tix. Love the midnight movies
Lee LawrenceJune 19, 2015
The kind of place you go to with no plan. Just watch a movie and have fun!

The seats here are amazing. So comfortable.

The concession bar workers really hate their lives so have your order ready and a backup in case they don't have it

Great films and special screenings. Seen Nolan and Gondry live here.

Try David Lynch's coffee. It's 'quality coffee' - the drink that should be offered in every cinema and helps at the midnight screenings.
Berk KapiciogluJuly 14, 2014
Home to the best popcorn that has ever graced a movie theater.

terry richardson sat right behind me at a screening of ken burns' "the central park five", and some guy behind both of us kept shouting "death to Obama"
