FIVE NEW NYC CINEMAS
Five New York cinemas celebrate an era before streaming, even as home streaming continues to threaten the existence of the movie theater, these resilient art-house cinemas in New York are proving that there’s still magic to be found in a dark room full of strangers.
IPIC
Situated within the Seaport District’s Fulton Market Building, iPic Theaters takes on an intimate industrial art gallery feel with original art installations celebrating New York and the world’s best street artists throughout the entertainment destination. This marks the second of three iPic
Theaters to open for iPic Entertainment in the tri-state area. Next up is iPic’s Dobb’s Ferry location slated to open this May. At the second floor, guests will discover The Tuck Room, a spirited drinking and dining den and vibrant social destination with an urban chic atmosphere, which nightly showcases Adam Seger, Master Barman and Advanced Sommelier and a menu by Sherry Yard. 11 Fulton St; ipictheaters.com

NITEHAWK PROSPECT PARK
When it opens in the fall, Nitehawk’s second Brooklyn location, in Park Slope, will offer the same three-course dinner as the original, in Williamsburg.

QUAD CINEMA
When the Quad Cinema closed its doors in 2015, Greenwich Villagers feared that New York’s oldest multiscreen theater was done for. Instead, the beloved art house underwent a major renovation and will reopen in the spring, with one screen dedicated to classics and three screens playing new independent and foreign films. 34 W. 13th St.; quadcinema.com

The Austin-based dine-in theater chain opened its first location in New York City in October, bringing both studio and independent films (and a no-nonsense no-cell phone policy) to downtown Brooklyn.
