The Definitive List of the Best Movie Theaters in NYC

by Ryan Shea

Is there a better city than New York when it comes to going out with friends, family, or a significant other for a great night out at the movies?  With our city being the focal point of so many amazing movies over the past hundred years, it makes sense that the theaters themselves would be just as iconic with many of them being one off and as unique as can be, even to this day.

We have compiled a list of what we think are the best movie theaters to go to in Manhattan.  Find a movie, head to one of the locations, get some popcorn and soda, kick back, and enjoy a great night. And 1 for more great movie ideas check out Outdoor Movie HQ.
