Center Cinemas
Neighborhood: Queens/Sunnyside

4217 Queens Blvd
Sunnyside, NY 11104

Natalia J. writes: I love watching scary/gory movies here. The theater is old, small, sticky-floored, and dirty. But ticket prices are cheap ($4 all day on Tuesdays) and they have BBQ or garlic flavoring for your popcorn. Don't expect a state-of-the-art sound system or…

Movieworld of Douglaston
Neighborhood: Queens/Douglaston

24202 61st Ave
Little Neck, NY 11362

Joseph G. writes: Ah, Movieworld. From the sign on Douglaston Parkway advertising what movies are playing that always has half of the letters missing to the small theaters, Movieworld is not a classy joint. Why does it get a good rating then? I don't know, movie…

New York Hall of Science
Neighborhood: Queens/Flushing Meadows

4701 111th St
Corona, NY 11368

Natalia J. writes: I feel like a kid when I go to the Hall of Science. I love the bubble maker.
The whole place used to smell like sweat but they've renovated and added new exhibits.
Yeah I think I'm too old for it now.

Loews Raceway Theatre

1025 Corporate Dr
Westbury, NY 11590

Daniel P. writes: I'll agree that the place needs stadium seating, or short-people seats. But they do have two machines to pick up tickets bought in advance or from fandango. It gets crazy busy here on weekends and for opening nights, and I generally hate the drech…

New York Film Academy
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Gramercy-Flatiron, Manhattan/Union Square

100 E 17th St Fl 2
New York, NY 10003

Marcus V. writes: I actually studied at the New York Film Academy in an intensive digitial filmmaking program a couple of years ago. For each major aspect of filmmaking studies (camera/lighting, directing, writing, and editing) with exception to the business…

Sanford Meisner Theatre
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Chelsea

164 11th Ave
New York, NY 10011

Susan S. writes: The Meisner is hard to find.  When in doubt, just keep going west.  You look out at the West Side Highway and Chelsea Piers from the front door.

For a small rental house, the Meisner has a decent backstage area if you are looking to rent.  The space…

Yossi Milo Gallery
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Chelsea

552 W 24th St
New York, NY 10011

justin v. writes: Overpriced by about 20% on their Loretta Lux works.
Also, have a bit of an attitude and really don't "work" for a $10,000 sale.
They are opening their "North" gallery to have 2 exhibitions at once.

Ambassador Theatre
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District

215 W 49th St
New York, NY 10019

Susan S. writes: Good theatre space.  Traditional facade, seats over 1000.  Wheelchair accessible from the side entrance.

Currently houses Chicago.

Roseland Ballroom
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District

239 W 52nd St Frnt
New York, NY 10019

Rob K. writes: New York City is rich in a lot of things, but big rooms aren't one of them. I have watched live music in basements, backyards, tiny bars -- all manner of cramped spaces in the city.

The Roseland thumbs its nose at your weakling little venue. And if…

Felissimo Design House
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Midtown East

10 W 56th St
New York, NY 10019

MARIANA L. writes: The place for modern and functional design.  Great place to touch up your home, office, etc. with a minimalist, but avant-garde trinket.  There are several floors to this townhouse-like gallery/shop.  Great place to peek in along your 5th avenue…

Ran Art Gallery Inc
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan/Theater District

336 W 57th St
New York, NY 10019

Susan S. writes: Good, reasonable place for framing.  I have used them several times and not been disappointed with anything but the occassional length of time for turnaround (not too bad).

Tilles Center For the Performing Arts

Route 25A
Glen Head, NY 11545

Franco C. writes: A good , but not great place to see a show.

Tilles is on the campus of C.W. Post University and they do get a great line up of artists - mostly of the Jazz / Opera genre.

There is ample parking - the actual hall is big- but it seems to big to me at…

The Millennium Broadway Hotel New York
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Fashion District

Hudson Theatre
New York, NY 10001

Kevin S. writes: Starting to age a little ungracefully, but I once loved this hotel for business trips.  All sleek and grey and cherry, euroish, good sized rooms, most with nice corner windows overlooking Times Square because of a many-faceted design.

Concourse Plaza Multiplex Cinemas
Neighborhood: Bronx/Concourse Village

214 East 161st Street
Bronx, NY 10451

Susan D. writes: The chairs are from about 1975, but I sort of like that. It's fun and not as expensive as when you go in to the city. People in this neighborhood love movies so it is always packed. Young people get dressed up for dates-- it's so cute!

Chinatown Fair Video Arcade
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Civic Center

8 Mott Street
New York, NY 10013

Maritess Z. writes: Other reviewer was right, yes, totally seedy, dark, kinda filthy, but...it is some of the most fun I've had without alcohol =)

I prefer this place to corporate arcades such as Dave and Busters or even the arcades in the casinos of my beloved Las…

Not a Genuine Black Man
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Gramercy-Flatiron, Manhattan/Union Square

103 E 15th Street
New York City, NY 10003

Amelia S. writes: Brian Copeland's one-man show centers on his childhood experience of growing up in the 70's in a California town named in Congressional hearings as one of the most racist suburbs in America. His stories of discrimination can be riveting, surprising,…

Singapore Chili Crab Festival

Water Street, between Main and Dock Street
New York City, NY 11230

Orlando E. writes: After seeing the article in AM NY, i couldn't help but salivate at the thought. Lo and behold my GF thought the same when she looked at it on her own on her way to work. Great minds think alike! (crazy ones too).  

We both coincided in the idea of…

AMC Loews 84th Street 6
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Upper West Side

2310 Broadway
New York, NY 10024

matt w. writes: it's a movie theater
you pay your $76 for two tickets go inside and watch a movie

i had a good time though

Color Me Mine
Neighborhood: Manhattan/TriBeCa

116 Franklin Street
New York, NY 10013

Nina C. writes: Color Me Mine is one of those paint your own pottery type places.  The first time I walked past this place, I was excited to have something to compare to Our Name Is Mud.

I was just in here this past Saturday and it's a really nice space.  The pieces…

La Boheme at the City Opera
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Upper West Side

20 Lincoln Center plz
New York, NY 10016

Irene F. writes: I love opera, I do. But the City Opera semi-butchered one of my personal favorites, La Boheme (if you are lost, it's the original Rent). The only reason I maintain three stars is because the singers were actually quite good, and some excellent…

Mayfair Triplex

6405 Park Avenue
West New York, NJ 07093

Brian K. writes: The Mayfair Triplex, like the nearby Galaxy Theater, shows first-run movies for $5.  If it's a matinee, it's only $4.  When you think about it, seeing a first-run movie for $4 is an incredible bargain, compared to the typical $10 in Manhattan.

Unlike…

JKK Fine Arts - Gallery of European Art

594 Valley Road
The Mews
Upper Montclair, NJ 07043

Andrea C. writes: The premiere of "Angels" exhibition of 'new angelic paintings, sculptures, and graphic art for Christmas Season.'   All in all, I enjoyed the gallery.  Some paintings really intrigued me.  The place was small and narrow, but nicely down a set of…

Newark School of the Arts

89 Lincoln Park
Newark, NJ 07102

Andrew B. writes: The best thing about this performance school is convenience.  The offices are on Lincoln Park, but the classes are located in the NJPAC buildings, which are a few blocks from my apt.

I take 4 classes (ballet+jazz Monday, tap+hip-hop Wednesday).…

Hand Held Films Incorporated
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan/Theater District

315 W 36th St
Ste 2E
New York, NY 10018

Victor L. writes: this place, while the current staff is probably different than a year ago when i last rented here, it's a really, really polarizing experience.

On the one hand, my cinematographer rented from here all the time, so he got to know some of the staff.…

PPOW Gallery
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Chelsea

555 W 25th St
New York, NY 10001

Christina M. R. writes: A gallery amidst a bunch of other galleries has a hard time standing out.  PPOW is a cute second floor room with low ceilings in bright rooms.  While it's not the apex of the art community, it does offer a little something special.  It's not avant…

Coram Boy
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District

Imperial Theatre
249 W 45th St
New York, NY 10036

Natasha O. writes: I would just like to state for the record, I don't like plays and I don't pay to see them.  In fact to my recollection, I have never paid to see a play... until I went to see Coram Boy at the Imperial Theatre.

I'd been in Manhattan a week and had seen…

Cinema Classics
Neighborhood: Manhattan/West Village

167 7th Ave S
New York, NY 10014

Victor L. writes: Note: This review is only for the actual Cinema Classics store at 7th Avenue South.

So, I was walking around the WV one day, and I passed by this store. It was closed for the night, but I vowed to remember to go back. It looked like my wet dream:…

Grey Art Gallery & Study Center
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Greenwich Village

100 Washington Sq E Lbby
New York, NY 10003

Michael D. writes: Continuing my tour of lesser known art exhibition spaces in New York, we turn to the Grey Art Gallery...

Immediately across from Washington Square Park on its Eastern boundary, this gallery is almost hidden among the oddly industrial/loft-looking…

Gallery R'Pure
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Gramercy-Flatiron

3 E 19th St
New York, NY 10003

Lauren C. writes: I would truly go to the ends of the Earth (aka Brooklyn or lower Manhattan) for free champagne.  I attended a design event at Gallery R'Pure last weekend with a good friend who was present for work related matter (his PR agency represents Feuillate…

Meridith McNeal Gallery
Neighborhood: Brooklyn/Fort Greene

386 Waverly Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11226

Peter S. writes: Tucked away on the 2nd floor of what looks like a regular wburg aluminum siding townhouse you'll find this small two bedroom gallery. When I went the show of maps and 20's dress cutouts had completely overtaken the space complete with drapery over…

Fazil's Dance Studio / Time Circle Rehearsal Studios
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan/Theater District

743 8th Ave
New York, NY 10036

C. G. writes: Fazil's Studios (Time Circle Studios) has a lot of history. Who's who of the Broadway and Hollywood dancing and performing arts scenes has been there, taught classes there, etc. Now it is one of the main dance studio rentals in Manhattan. The types…

47th Street Theatre
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan/Theater District

304 W 47th St
New York, NY 10079

Marc A. writes: Imagine sitting in an extremely old and small theater.  It has a balcony but you are amazed that it's physically able to exist in the air.  The seats are small, cramped and remind you of Shea Stadium.  When you sit down your knee touch the seat…

Trophies Lounge

deb n. writes: Located inside the Sheraton Airport Newark Hotel, behind the lobby, next to Bistro 128.  http://www.yelp.com/wr... A large lounge with pool tables, video games, TV's and bar.  Food was salads, sandwiches and hamburgers, $10-20.  A large place to hang…

City Cinemas East 86th Street
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Upper East Side

210 E 86th St
New York, NY 10028

Victor L. writes: The bathroom is awkwardly placed on the stairwell. At least the men's room is.

It's a nice theater though, it's kind of kitschy and mod which is not something you see everyday and it's a nice break from tacky carpeting. Two concession stands abound…

The Quantum Eye - Magic Deceptions
Neighborhood: Manhattan/SoHo

15 Vandam St
New York, NY 10013

Liiisa C. writes: Written & performed by Sam Eaton, The Quantum Eye is 70 minutes of magic & mentalism.  With a soothing & professorial voice, Eaton guides his volunteers through a programme of 10 acts.  If you like interactive performances, this is the show for you.…

Wings Theatre Co
Neighborhood: Manhattan/West Village

154 Christopher St Ste 3B
New York, NY 10014

Andrew J. writes: The stage space here is probably the best thing about the place.  I performed here back in October of 2006 as part of a sketch comedy show and we had tons of room to move around and block stuff for our sketches.  However, the technical staff didn't…

Belasco Theatre
Neighborhood: Manhattan/Theater District

111 West 44th Street
New York, NY 10036

Maia. J. writes: I saw my new favorite musical http://www.yelp.com/bi... here in 3rd row orchestra seats.
I was close enough to see blood, sweat and tears. My seat was comfy too, rare for Broadway.

Also, rush tickets a little over an hour before the show were not a…
