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…

Corona,

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…

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

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…

New York City,
NY
10003

New York City,
NY

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).

116 Franklin Street
New York,
NY

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…

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).…

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…

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

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…

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…

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…

154 Christopher St Ste 3B
New York,
NY
10014
