Audiovisual quality is outstanding. Friendly, helpful staff. Decent pricing for tickets and concessions. Mainstream movies, no classics. Comfortable seats. Well-maintained furnishings. No wi-fi. Clean bathrooms.
It is a small cinema in Manhattan, because it only have three screens. but its decoration is modern, like the feeling that Manhattan give people. and they offer reclined chair. however, the auditorium is not regular shape, such as rectangle, sector, so if you are going to order the row L to J, make sure you dont get the side seat, vision effect would be really bad. i think the perfect row should be row D. i took a picture when i am sitting in the middle of row D.
The only issue is that I can’t go more often! Love the reclining seats and the movie selection is always unique
Great place to see a film at.It is a Smaller as well as;; ((I Think..));; a privately-owned theater.It also is paying great movies including the new release The Batman,Considering ALL these things, it is also a real shock that tickets can be AS LOW AS, $$10//Per-Person!!!💯💯 ... Check out this spot ... 💯💯
Loved the seats here. One of the comfiest Ive sat on. The sound system was great too as it should be when youre watching a Quentin Tarantinos movie. Im not gonna complain about popcorn prices because its pretty much the same everywhere. They could definitely have had a better restroom. Other than that very good place to watch a movie in NYC.
The world has so many complexities and problems, but Recliner seats arent one of them.Incredible sound and beautiful theater setup.Christ those seats were good.Had a great time downloading Robert Patersons personality and mannerisms in the new batman film
One of the last few places to see a movie (a good one) on the UES. Large plump chairs that lay back and large screen and great surround sound. You will really enjoy watching a movie here!
Love the membership here. $5 movies (with membership). Comfortable seats...its perfect way to catch up on some current releases
Bathroom was out of order, noAir Conditioning in one of the theaters, escalator out of order for the last 5years. Last time I will be going to this theater. Should be closed down until they fix problems.
At morning shows youll have almost the place to yourself. Comfy recliners too. Newly decorated.
I have been there a few times over the past couple of years and I find it to be very well kept and sanitary. In addition, the seats and spacing between the loungers are adequately spaced for plenty of leg room and that is majorly important in feeling comfortable while watching movies.When I am in that area, I always check to see if there are any new films that I havent seen as yet and it is always a pleasure to go there and feel that non-stressed and happy feeling that the atmosphere is always a delight.
Low Key Movie Theatre with comfy reclining chairs. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Vaccination required in order to see a movie. The one thing I don’t enjoy how this theatre attracts tourists who have no manners - like please stop talking while we watch a movie and the older locals who do the same thing as well.
Completely renovated coming out of Covid. Reclining seats and concessions on 2 floors. Nice to see somebody actually SPENT the recovery money on the theater itself. I had a wonderful experience there too. Private screening and famous director arrived with cast after wards. Kenneth Branagh is a wonderful man for storytelling. His film was excellent too. BELFAST was the film. Oscar-bound for sure. But the 123 theater should get an Oscar for the comfy seats. For some reason upstairs concessions had smaller menu and had 2 schlep downstairs to get a coffee. Otherwise perfecto
Good movie selections. Comfortable seats. Nicely designed space. Definitely an uplifted movie going experience compared to the giant chains.
The seats may be comfortable but if there is no way to access them, what’s the point!! There is still no working escalator or elevator to two of the three theatres!! If you are unable to do a steep flight of stairs, you’re out of luck.
Great little movie theater with three screens. Very clean, comfy recliners, and excellent customer service. I saw the French Dispatch here and they had a dope display!
Very comfortable seats. Friendly staff. Bathroom are very clean.
Not like any other movie theater! Fantastic and very clean. Awesome staff and comfortable chairs. High end establishment
Extremely helpful polite and friendly staff.The theater is beautiful clean and spacious (when someone has to walk in front of you to exit the row you dont have to scrunch or contort into a small ball -- theres enough room for everyone).the movie experience is awesome. (not too freezing and the sound quality is perfect-- its not obnoxiously booming like other theaters where you leave with your ears ringing for hours. ugh!)lastly and most importantly-- the reclining seats are so comfortable.
A bit expensive even discounts tkts but nice and clean and patrons are there to watch not talk
No pop corn, no hot dog, no milk duds.. No working bathrooms and AC either
This is a multi screen cinema. It was clean and the staff was polite. They have the usual snacks and soft drinks plus cookies. The best part is the large reclining seats with plenty of space between rows. The only negative is the movie screen appears smaller than average hence my 4 star rating rather than 5.
Awesome Reclining Seats....the theater is clean...and serve Coffee....and Matinee Price is $10..... Beautiful Movie Theater. I hope to beReturning real Soon ...I ama Real Movie Fan ...I just love going to the Movie Theater ...I saw in the Heights....a very nice Musical
While the ticket comes in at whopping 18+ dollars, this upscale cinema, is I think, well worth it. You will be amazed at the width of your leather seat and how crazily far back it reclines. There are four theaters, all rather intimate but with a large amount of space between rows. The theater goes tend to be older and quiet during the screening, which I think is nice, and the selection is usually pretty good. Extraordinarily clean and well-maintained.
Great late night haunt. Their after 9pm specials are fantastic, and snacks are half off. Just saw Harriet and loved it.
They have the best seats ever! Most comfortable I have experienced. Operable reclining, back & legs. So much space between rows that if the seat is fully extended people can pass in front of you without you having to move.This is our top theater choice.
Very comfy reclining seats. Nothing amazing and nothing annoying...just right! Only 2 employees working but nice and managing well.
Nice theater.. Clean. Good VACCINATION Protocols in place.Comfortable seating. NOT terribly crowded. Bought tix in advance. Was quite enjoyable.
Newly renovated with big, comfy reclining seats but dizzying carpeting. Reserved seats policy and pricing may bother some folks -- unless you get the ideal, on-the-aisle seat you want just minutes before showtime. Some seats on the right mezzanine 1st row facing screen in largest theater have slightly restricted screen view because of entryway blockage. Staff now trained to handle complaints deftly. All in all , much improved, especially the seating.
Be sure to read the accessibility information really closely before you go if you (or the person you are going with) have mobility issues. the access to theaters are all by stairs that are steep. the downstairs cinemas bathroom is down a steep set of stairs and the upstairs bathroom is accessible, but tricky as the ONE escalator only goes in ONE direction at a time. There is no elevator. The theaters have been recently renovated and have great seats and other amenities, but it would have been decent to spend some of that budget to make sure that all movie goers could enjoy the experience without risk or anxiety. At the very least they should make the access information more prominent on the website or at the theater.
CLEAN fellow patrons quiet and considerate -- a bit expensive.
This theater is clean and comfortable--one of the best places in the city to enjoy a film! The ticket price might be a bit higher, but the experience is great. The theaters are small with reclining seats, the concession stand has many options (including an espresso bar), and the staff is friendly. They also seem to accept movie pass--I dont have one but saw the sign!
Nice East side movie theater with reclining seats. Small enough and yet just the right amount of space to enjoy a movie.
Great place to see films that arent always playing at other movie theaters. Reserved seats are really comfortable and they recline. This theater is also very clean. Concessions are pricey, but that is true of most theaters in NY.
Have attended this theater many times and thought it was shabby,dirty and unattractive.Never thought it was customer friendly. When it was renovated my experience was more negative. We had to choose our seats before entering the theater. I really disliked that since I like going into the theater and choosing my seat based on whos sitting where(tall people,etc).I dislike the new chairs although theyre wonderfully cozy and comfortable. I dont go to a movie to take a nap! When I went patrons were having difficulty locating their seats and management got involved while some people leaned against the wall. Patrons were complaining and I really wished I could leave but my friend wanted to stick it out. If anyone gives a damn, my friend and I are not going back.A movie should be a casual experience. Its not ABT or opera. I just want to go in,find a seat,sit up and watch the show.
All cool. The only thing is in the snack bar there isn’t much stuff, no brownies or fresh baked cookies as they say there’ll be.Other than that the screens and reclinable seats are great.
Great Experience!A great movie theater hidden next to Bloomingdales on 59th Street. Expecting to go back due their professionalism and clean facility.
Its a nice little theater with friendly staff. The balcony seating is pretty neat and the seats are very comfortable (recliners).
This theater is nothing special. A relic from older days, there are only three screens and stadium seating is unheard of. Screens are TINY, and the projectors have issues. On the bright side, fewer people means shorter lines at concessions and restrooms. Service is pleasant. Not a bad choice if you time it right.
I like this theater . comfy seats- small no chemical smell like some others. the people are nice. was a little surprised when the woman asked me if i want senior tix as im ten years younger then that age but next time i will just say yes. also the escalator has been broken for years and so if you do have any disability this is not the theater for you. i dont know why they dont fix it but they have many excuses
This Theatre is clean and the customer service is great. They show alot of indie films. Thier matinee prices are very cheap and they also belong to movie pass. The best part about this Theatre are the seats, they are recliners and you can reserve your seat so need to show up early on a Friday or Saturday night. Great location right near the subway as well!
Theyve taken all the fun out of a casual night out at the movies.Prices jumped up--fourteen dollars for a senior ticket-- and seats have to be chosen at the time the tickets are purchased. This means a line waiting to get into the theater while people discuss where to sit. Wrong seats? Run down two flights to change them.Then arrive in the dark and the usher points in the general direction of our seats--try to find them? Theyre somewhere up there, or down there!Trip over someone whos turned her seat into a recliner to find them. Finally, settle in. Sat in the wrong seats for the whole movie--last row--although got to the theater 15 minutes ahead of time.Did like the movie and the carpeting; thats why two stars. And oh, yes, the bathroom was clean. Thank you for that.(The usher said everyone was unhappy) Not in a hurry to go back and sad the neighborhood go-to movie has turned into a no-go-to.
Nice small movie theater that usually plays good movies. They have very comfy reclining seats which are assigned when you buy them. Screens are a bit on the small side but the sound and seats more then make up for it.
A great place and atmosphere. Especially when Gabriel is working. He will help you to your seat when possible. He is very courteous, something you rarely find in the city. The thing I dont like is they rarely show children movies. And if you stare at the carpet you may fall. They have discounts for seniors and special show times.
We were shocked and disappointed... and greatly impacted by the false info regarding theater that they were handicapped access!!! They are NOT! Not only slowly painfully climbing stairs while 70 yr old sister CARRIED the walker!! No elevator. Broken escalator which would of course NOT accommodate anyone with a wheel chair. My advice: FIND ANOTHER THEATER!👎
Helpful staff, great food selection (they even have macaroons here) and the theater has nice reclining seats. The price is understandable for NYC and it is in a great location in the Upper East Side, right by the Lexington Ave - 59th Street Subway station. It is also near the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge and the Roosevelt Isand Tram.The only drawback is they usually only play three movies at a time. You’ll be lucky for them to be playing a movie you really want to see but when you do, it’s a great experience all around.Also, there’s not a lot of people because of the reason I just stated so it’s less cramped and I have space to breathe.The patrons that come here seem cool too. They aren’t on their phones or talk loud during the movie. I saw two movies here and I hope to see more in the near future.
Amazing theater! They did a full renovation and now you have those amazing bed lounges that I can stretch my whole body and relax. I started going to every movie possible... dont really care if its that good or not, I go for bed lounges lol Very quiet as well and not super crowded.
This is the best movie theater that I have visited. Leather seats, recline, leg rest, space between you and your neighbor, reserved seating, limited previews.What more can you ask for?Popcorn? Decent. Healthy snacks? Edamame. And there is a coffee stand in the lobby.Too bad they only have 3 movies playing at a time. But if they are playing a movie you want to watch, go here.
Beautifully kept cinema with recliners and a quiet atmosphere in a convenient location close to Bloomingdales. I love the $9 after 9 promotion. Tickets are $9 each after 9pm which makes going to see movies in a beautiful cinema affordable!
Loved this place. The seats were super comfy- a plus for a great art-house film. Also the assigned seats make it very chill- there isnt a wild west rush to find seats. Go here if you want a special time.
Recliner seats are a dream. Saw Brooklyn here the other day. Staff was sharp and made the lines move quickly. Bathrooms are renovated and up to date in every way. Tickets are pricey but for the experience it is worth it.
My favorite movie theater in Manhattan. They have a great $9 after 9:00pm deal for movie tickets and have very comfortable reclining seats. Small theater but very worth watching an indie flick here every now and then!
So many reviews here dont like these theaters because theyre old. Why not tear them down and build another monstrosity where hundreds are jammed in like lemmings, the stereo sound is ear splitting and the service is awful. This area used to be, next to Broadway, the hub of first run movies in the city. Not the newest, true, but comfortable,screens large in proportion to the theater itself and far from frenetic. You want IMAX hit the Kips Bay. These are neighborhood theaters that keep first run films in the neighborhood. Ill certainly be back.
Seats are comfortable but there are still problems.1. Theaters are very small as is screen, so dont expect a big screen experience.2. People will sit in your reserved seats because no on can see the letters of the row! Its printed on the floor of the aisle and is tiny with low contrast (unlike the number of the seat which is ok on the side of the aisle seat).3. Prepare the hear the booms, noise and extreme vibrations of the movie in the next theater. Ugh.4. The incline of the rows is not steep enough by a few degrees. A slightly bigger than averaged sized persons head will block your view.5. The price of a ticket would be ok IF these problems were addressed.
This place has been around since I was a child and they def improved it so much. Seats are comfy and $9 after 9pm is the best deal you can get. This is my go to place for late night movie viewing.
I went here to see the film Boyhood on a weeknight, so it wasnt particularly crowded. A fine theater, but nothing special. Felt a little old and warn down, popcorn wasnt too good (though they did let you put on your own butter which is a plus). I also sat in the top section, and the lights for the staircase down were pretty bright and stayed on the whole time (a little distracting).
This theater only shows three movies at a time as thats all the screens they have! But kudos to their curation, the movies are often excellent.Fairly new and clean, large leather recliners make the experience very comfortable. Seats are reserved so theres no need to stand in line in advance. Each row of recliners are also spaced very generously apart, so when fully reclined, other patrons can still get to their seats without having you to get up and do the uncomfortable shuffle dance. However as a result, it is recommended to sit much further closer to the screen as you would normally do.Halls 1 and 3 are upstairs. Ive never been to Hall 1, which is their biggest, and often screens the biggest hits.Hall 3 unfortunately shares a wall with Hall 1. Three times I was there to watch fairly slow and dramatic movies (Mr Holmes, Room and Brooklyn) and each time Hall 1 next door was showing an action packed flick with ample explosions and earth shattering sound effects (Mission Impossible and Deadpool). How did I know? Yup, you guess it, the walls shook and rumbled. We could basically hear and feel those explosions next door. Not great if Im watching something dramatic.Do also note that Hall 3 has a single aisle that comes down the left side (as you face the screen). The seating plan on the booking site doesnt indicate this and may appear to suggest there will be an aisle on both sides. So if youre picky about sitting facing the middle of the screen, you may want to select seats slightly closer to the left.Another downside to Hall 3 (and possibly Hall 1 too): the ventilation upstairs (where its located) is terrible. The whole Hall is filled with the grease from the popcorn sold at the concession stand outside. You come out of your movie smelling like popcorn oil. Some people dont mind it but I think its rather gross. The air conditioning also comes on and off intermittently. When it comes on, its very drafty and chilling. When it goes off, it can get quite stuffy, and if youre watching something exciting that gets your sweat glands worked up a little, good luck.Hall 2 in the basement is much better. No booming noises from next door, and no greasy oils wafting in. Seating wise, the aisle runs on the right, and there is also a horizontal aisle nearer the back of the Hall. So its really not advisable to sit all the way at the back as the screen will be too small.Regular ticket prices are higher than AMC but here you get a seat reservation and comfortable recliners. Better still, if you buy tickets to movies that are screened before noon, and in the late evenings of Sundays to Thursdays, theyre half priced.Overall, my favourite theater for movies. If they can work on the soundproofing and ventilation, I give them the final star!
My fiance and I decided to go see 12 Years a Slave last Friday, which by the way was a remarkable movie. Considering this is a local/more independent theatre (I think), I was expecting a cheaper ticket price but it was still $14.00 like every other movie theatre. No worries though cause thats what I expected.Walking towards the specific theatre was kind of weird. There was a low ceiling at one point (maybe 7 or 8 feet) that had mirrors on top so it looked like it was much taller but I imagine if you were a really tall person, you could hit your head on the ceiling. The floor also sloped down like a small hill. This theatre definitely hasnt been renovated in years.We walked into the theatre and immediately noticed how small it was, but that was OK with us. As we went to sit down, I noticed some white stains on the seat, which did not sit well with me so we chose other seats. The seats are small and cramped and thats a 52 tall female saying that.During the movie, which again was amazing and so emotional, I kept hearing the movie theatres phone ringing somewhere off in the distance. The movie would be in the middle of a scene out in the woods and all of a sudden I would hear a faint ringing. This happened at least six times throughout the movie.On the way out of the theatre and going through the weird, short mirrored ceiling hallway, the first thing I saw was a mouse! It darted across the room so I got to see it run for about 10-12 feet. SO DISGUSTING!!! Im sure a lot of establishments have mice too that Im unaware of because I dont see them but when I do see them, GROSS! GET A MOUSE TRAP! HIRE AN EXTERMINATOR! YOU ARE A BUSINESS!So, a movie theatre is a movie theatre, and for a movie theatre, it did a good job of pressing play on a large screen, but for $14 a ticket, Id rather go to an AMC or Regal that has more comfortable seats without questionable stains, cleaner amenities and phones ringing during quiet, serene settings of a movie.
Its amazing. After 9 pm the tickets are only 9 dls and the food and drinks are 50% off plus we had the entire room for us.The seats are so cool and comfortable! You can have a good time!
My husband and I purchased tickets ahead of time to see a movie. I am in a wheelchair and cannot walk up or down stairs. We arrived and the theatre didnt have an elevator and said they were not handicap accessible. We spoke to the manager of the theatre- he wasnt apologetic at all and said hes not sure why they arent accessible. We had to leave since it was impossible for me to get into theatre. Such an upsetting experience....
Luxurious renovated theater, with lots of room and very comfortable recliners. My only complaint would be that screen seemed a bit small. Would definitely return though, one of the nicer theaters in the area.
Nice and quaint theater. I have been here a few times, and its a good place to come watch a movie, while avoiding the crowds. It could use better signage so you can go where you need to go without asking too much, but hey, its only 3 screens. It wont take you long to walk from one to the other. Friendly and helpful staff
Terrific selection of films often indie films available. One criticism the escalator has been inoperative for ages and in my opinion as theres often an elderly crowd in the afternoon it might behoove management to put a less eye dazzling pattern of carpet on the stairs.
I became aware of the Cinemas in 1969- 70.The Classic film Midnight Cowboy with Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voigt opened there. Myself, along with Sylvester Stallone worked next door at 999 Third Avenue, Bookmasters, and seized on the chance to see the pic as often as possible I wasnt aware that he was writing the Rocky films at the time, but he was. Upon leaving NYC in June of 1970,Sly was now working for the Cinemas, and asked if I would be interested in filling an opening there to assist him, I was recovering from a surgery and told him no, that as a then 17 year old, obviously didnt make very sound business decisions, having seconded guessed that one over the last 50 years. Many more stories to tell about the excitement generated by the theaters and what we did in our store next door!! Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary lived around the corner and frequented the Cinemas and shopped for music with us, as did Burt Bacharach and wife, Angie Dickinson along with author, Norman Mailer. Lots of excitement in the neighborhood with the Cinemas as the centerpiece.
They have the awesome recliner seats!! However, their movie selection is not that great, they only have 3 movie running at a time, and those being mediocre. $9 after 9PM on select days, and 50% off concessions!
Reclining lazy boys. Assigned seating. Matinees before 12 noon are half price. Best place to take in a movie. Only 3 theaters so they only screen 3 movies at a time. Usually a mix of Hollywood and indy artsy films, which i appreciate. Love it here.
I like this theater. They have comfortable seats. The location is nice too, right across the street from Bloomingdales. Cant beat it.
Love their Sunday through Thursday $9.95 a ticket deal for movies showing after 9:30pm!!!Great reserved seating and comfortable Barca-lounger theatre seating as well as condensations 1/2 off for that late night show
Went here to see The Hangover Part 3 back in June. The projector never started and we had to sit and wait in the dark 30 minutes past the start time for them to tell us the projector was broken and there would be no show. They refunded my money and gave me a free movie ticket but its such a small theater with only 2 screens that they barely play anything good that I wouldnt want to see in a huge more updated thearter
This place is great in off-hours. Reclining chairs, reserved seats. Dont be afraid to sit in the front row. Screen is rather small.
A throw back to the 80s NY neighborhood movie theatre. They have installed large leather recliners. About 30 seats in each auditorium. 3 different movies
Simply incredible!! We were the only clients jn the movie and they still played it, we had the most comfortable seats, all the beverages and popcorns with 50 percent off. Very nice spent evening!! Recomend a lot!
Movies are only $9 after 9pm (on weekdays only?). The theatres are cozy and the reclining chairs are amazing. All other theatre seating throughout my life has been put to shame.
The most comfortable reclining theatre seats Ive found in Manhattan - but be warned- the theatres are always freezing and they only show 2 or three different movies and seem slow to change them.
This place has awesome coffee and its very clean also the staff was very courteous and it was very quick to get to our seats I enjoyed how large the screen was
Friendly nice staff. A little old, but very cozy comfortable seating.
The best thing about this theatre is that they have very comfortable reclining seats. The screens are a little small, but the comfort makes up for it. Prices are standard for nyc.
Not only did this cost the two of us $11 more than walking across the Park to Lincoln Plaza, but the newly jazzed up screening room (OK: nice big plush seats with push-button foot rests, and fine digital screen) was ruined by the red glow of the Exit sign splashing across the screen. For a movie like Mr. Turner that was a disaster! Afterward, when we informed one of the staff that wed lost a pair of gloves, he didnt move a muscle out of his comfy chair to help us find it, in fact couldnt even get his eyes off his smart-phone. Total extra cost (lost gloves included) for going to Cinema 1,2,3: $35.00! — all the pre-film advertisements you can stomach included in the price — No thanks, ever again!
Been watching Dunkirk: wide screen, great sound and unforgettable relax armchair experience. Close to metro stop in front of Bloomingsdale, so very easy to reach. Its my cinema from now on.
This is The worst movie theater experience I have ever had. The ticket machine charged my card 4 times, and the manager refused to give a refund because that same machine didnt give the printed paper that said that...Instead of enjoying the movie I had to go through the whole process of arguing and trying to get my money back. The place in general was dirty, unkept and old. Dont even consider going there.
Love this place, extremely comfortable armchairs, its not big so it gets semi-private, they have actual food, coffee and tea instead of popcorn and Coke. The only down low is that they dont play a lot of movies. Otherwise two thumbs up👍🏻👍🏻
Affordable tickets, convenient seating ( foldable recliner couch). Clean and convenient location, located near the F train and the Roosevelt Island tramway Manhattan stop
OMGI cant believe I did not know about this place already. It is amazinggggggggggggggggggggggggg! You heard it! Amazingggggg. Theres nothing worst than coming to see a movie, and buying a few snacks to enjoy during the movie and afterwards you get so much pain on your back due to uncomfortable chairs. Well with this place, you will definitely say no to back pain, leg pain and so on because those recliners are oh so comfy. I said it! Comfyyyy!
The seats are ultra comfortable and its never too packed. A bit pricey but thats standard for upper east side. Great place to go if you leave nearby.
They get great movies. And, since their remodel, we love the big seats that recline. Sooooo comfortable!
Beautiful theaters with spacious, reserved seating that fully reclines. The theaters are very clean and the staff are friendly and helpful.
Super comfortable chairs and great indie movies.
Very comfy seats.
Amazing movies 🎥 very comfortable seats and sometimes on days they have $10.00 for early birds like meOr 9:00 pm and 50% on everything
Its those Barcalounger-style seats! Not to mention that best of independent and art cinema. Nice prices after 9 pm weeknights for most shows.
This is the future of movie going:: should displace multiplex confusion, crowded viewing and ancient seating Fantastic comfortable viewing, enables private pleasure of a film .Increased pricing is worth the comfort of wide spacing, reclining leather seats : like flying 1sf class!
My favorite movie theater in NYC, thanks to the awesome reclining seats (if the movie is boring, you can take a nap!). Mostly quirky indie films and Oscar hopefuls. Pro tip: Dylans Candy Bar is right across the street, so head there before your movie and BYO candy. :)
Great new power reclining seats and reserved seating, but google maps gets the location all wrong! It is located between 59th and 60th and 3rd... Across from Bloomingdales! (Just try to find the theater in the streetview pic they provide.....)
Love the seats! This cinema is amazing, definitely worth the extra 3 bucks for awesome leather reclining seats. Best movie experience Ive had in New York
Awesome seats, great screens. If they add good food I’m not sure I’ll ever go back to Alamo
Comfortable, clean theater with great reclining seats 👍👍
Really nice clean place.Very comfortable seating.I like the movie selection is not the big Hollywood type of movies.Little expensive (snacks, drinks) but wort the price!
This cinema has wonderful movies however it is disturbing that after several months of attending the theater the escalator is still in disrepair. It is especially difficult for those who have injuries to their body.
Great reclining seats that leave room for others to pass without disturbing you. The place was clean and well-run.
Online, google showed that this location was playing Fantastic Beasts 2 at multiple times. When I went to the theater, it turns out they werent playing it. I went back home and called the theater to ask them about it, and the guy hung up on me immediately after answering my question!
The reclining seats are a dream, and the whole place is clean and pleasant. We actually check here first whenever were in the mood for a movie.
Nice reclineable chairs, small theatre so every seat is fine, pick your seat online.
$18 for a matinee on a weekday. The recliners and assigned seating are unnecessary and distracting. Not remotely worth the absurd amounts theyre charging.
Escalator was out of service with no advance notice on their website or ticket app. There isnt an elevator. My friend with mobility issues had a tough time getting up the stairs. Will not go back even though the theater itself is close.
Very comfortable seating, cozy sized theatre.One has to keep working to prevent somnolence!
I really enjoy the deals they have over in this theater and the comfortable chairs also great !!!I will recommend it to all my friends
Good theater with nice reclining seats but the price is $18 for weekends and Friday which is a little steep.
This theater had completely remade itself. Assigned seats that all recline with footrests. Great snacks. Recommended.
Dont love exc for some good movies, not typical multiplex theater. Expensive and personally dont like reclining chairs.
Very clean places. Remoded recently. Reclining seats. Nice pricing for seniors.
Best of the reserved seating ever! Large, super comfortable chairs with adjustable lounging positions.
I have gone to cinema 123 for years.The popcorn is great.The staff is friendly.So many theaters in this area have been closed.This theater shows current movies and is comfortable enough.If you are more interested in lounge chairs than the movie being shown go someplace else.
I love this cinema, the seats are comfy and spacious. Ticket system is great with pre-allocated seatings, as i hate to queue at the cinema just to get a good seat.
Very comfortable seats. There was only a few people at this show so it was a very relaxed setting.
Go on mon-thursday $9.00 movie nite 50 % off on the concession stand...no one there, pick sny seat. Best bargain, for the ever trendy n eXpesive UES.
There is no elevator and the escalator has been out of order for EVER! No signs stating that this movie house is not equipped to serve the disabled.
A classic at one time when it played the most interesting films. Now only plays gener releases. The seats are comfy.
Great movie theather with reclinable seats. Small salas but perfect view from every seat
Saw Downton Abbey here last night. Great theater as always. Best popcorn and cool drink machine!
This movie theatre has very comfortable leather, electronic reclining seats and plays cooler films than most other movie theaters.
Cool old-school cinema complex with the best reclining-armchair sitting Ive had in a regular theatre with SO MUCH leg room (Im a tall guy but I think anyone would appreciate that).
As comfortable as a movie watching experience could get. The recliners, staff, maintenance ..... Everythings just great
Excellent, reclining chairs and very clean
I had no idea- almost fully reclining seats, and after 9pm only 9 dollars. A little piece of obtainable luxury :)
Not the most modern or comfortable theater, but they do have an amazing roster of movies that are not part of the mainstream. And it’s very clean and the prices are slightly cheaper.
Not much air conditioning.
Seats are comfortable. However, escalator has been out of order for what seems like years.
Small screens, comfy chairs, very pricey
Lazy-boy seats make for possibly the most comfortable viewing in manhattan. Small theatre -- but thats a pro in my book not a con.
Saw the Joker here last night on 70mm and it was like watch art play in real life. Its a master piece of a film. Im trying to figure out when Im going next time week
Saw Mr Turner there: beautiful. Outstanding theater experience all around. Next is Bridge of Spies this week! Can not wait!
Choose your own seatsSo comfortable and roomy50% after 9pmFriendly staffAffordable snack barNot handicapped accessible
Nice theatre, comfortable recliner chairs but no elevator and only 1 escalator.
Freshly renovated, recling seats! and a good repertoire of movies reaching beyond the typical blockbusters of amc. Great cinema!
Reclining seats, and wonderful movie choices. Cheaper tickets after 9pm and fresh pop corn!!
Screen is small and its cold in the winter but at least the seats are comfortable.
Great theater. Very comfortable chairs! Best cinema on the city.
Great place to see a movie. Comfy reclining seats and great sound system.
Lousy customer service, the guy at the ticket office was very abrupt and impatient and walked away while I was still talking. Also there is no elevator or escalator so make sure you can climb stairs
I like a lot, it beautiful bathroom are very clean ,the seat very comfortable,the employee nice,they help....I goin to come back.
The seating is comfortable but the concession stand leaves a lot to be desired.
Very nice seats, though movie selection is small.
Great location for the upper east side. Comfortable reclining seating.
Love the reserved, comfortable seating. Always clean. Great movies.
Very cozy theatre with reclining chairs and food purchase on both floors
Very organized, always friendly and helpful staff. Clean facilities. Very comfy recliners!
Nothing but pros: comfy reclining seats, reserved seating, cheap matinee fare, close to the subway, coffee at concession, friendly staff.
Good facility carpeting stripes very confusing. You have to be there to understand. Reccomend this movie house.
Good friendly staff clean theater very comfortable seats..
Reserved seating makes the waiting line to purchase in person take too long, better to buy online ahead of time.
The cashiers are very unprofessional its that simple. They need to be trained to able to explain the seating.
Love the popcorn and the new seats.I have been going to this theater for many years.love the improvements and the friendly staff
Had a great time there with friends and kids. Id recommend for a great movie watching experience
The seats are the best! They are large, clean, very comfortable and relax.
Nice small cozy place. seats are better than other brand theatres
Nice lounge reclining chairs, excellent for a couple wanting to cuddle up and feel relaxed.
I was pleasantly surprised to see recliners here. Nice theater but small screens.

Most comfortable chairs, very pleasant staff, and before 12 a bit less expensive.
Good theater with reclining chairs
Fabulous seats.. like I was in my favorite Uncles home theater!
Nice theatre. Those seats go ALL. THE. WAY. BACK.(No heavy petting allowed)
The best movie theater experience with reserved seatings and reclining seats.
Almost fell asleep before movie started due to nice recliner😴. Good thing the movie just started 😆. Loved it!
Staff is great here and really good popcorn 🍿
VERY Comfortable reserved seats , very good movies.
Dont be fooled by the location near fancy retail stores. Some of the smallest screens in the city. Only two movie options. Horrible selection of food.
One of the best cinemas in Manhattan, because of its wide, reclining seats!
Such an amazing theatre with almost lay flat leather seats.
Motorized reclining seats that are well spaced out. Favorite movie theatre to goto!
A neighborhood gem. Huge reclining seats. Small and cozy theatre.
Comfy seating and nice film selection! And a clean place, too
The bathrooms with the kind of dreary and the prices for the food and beverages were a little bit too much
Best cinema I have experienced. Awesome comfort in the chairs 😊👍
Always check to see whats at this theater first. Its so comfortable.
Movie selection is minimal. Still a great spot...I love the popcorn here.
Cant reserve on line (fandango) and cant reach theater as their phone doesnt even ring…terrible customer relations
Was lovely..and over the moon!!.never mind that I was just watching the incomparable Aretha perform!!!
Too expensive, but the reclining seats are very comfortable.
Decent prices, great chairs. Could use more vegan snack options.
Best seats I have ever seen in a movie theater.
The old timers that go there are very judgmental and nasty. Very territorial. Not for me but for the over 65 crowd.
Very comfy seating - full-size recliners!
Was surprised that on Mondays thru Thursdays after nine pm, you only pay $9.Good deal!
Very comfortable seating to enjoy the movie.

2022-07-02I really like this theatre with its reclining seats and polite and helpful staff. Their movie selections are typically very good. During my last visit, however, there was some construction underway and the concession area was closed. I hope that the construction involves the installation of an escalator or an elevator so as to make this otherwise fine theatre accessible.

2022-04-14I have worked near this theater for years and never stopped by. I didnt expect it to be a small theater. Its a bit pricey for showings you can see at any other theater. The screen is smaller but its kind of cozy. The seats are reclining and have a bit of wear. Would visit again but maybe at a matinee

2022-07-08I rarely go through the trouble of negatively reviewing a place, but here I am. Went here last week to watch Elvis… the restrooms were out of order and they didn’t have any popcorn. Two major basics at any cinema. But hey, they still charged full price tickets without announcing any of these issues on the website.

2022-07-10I used to come here all the time but never again. Took my mom to see Elvis yesterday. Or at least I tried to. The A/C was broken, all of the bathrooms were out of order (is that even legal?), AND the concession stands were closed. On top of all that, my seat was broken and wouldnt recline. Not to mention the fact that their escalator has been out of service since before the pandemic. I really dont know how this place stays open. Now, Im wondering if it even should.

2022-09-13One of the few in Manhattan that are not showing the kids type fare of super heros and or some horror nonsense,comfortable and no noisy people. This is an upper eastside movie venue and across from Bloomindales for shopping after. I saw Mrs. Harris goes to Paris a delightful movie and very well kept place.

2022-06-29Not a huge fan. Snack options are decent. Screen size isnt great and I think tickets are very over priced. Mine was $20 for top gun Maverick on a regular Wednesday. Some seats are scratched up.
