What to do and see in Queens, Queens: The Best Movie Theaters

Reviewed By TravelerFoHi - Forest Hills, United States

I dread the day when Manhattan or Brooklyn people discover this place. Right now I feel very spoiled going to Cinemart. Where else in NYC can you get a theater that has comfy, reclining seats, reasonably priced tickets, popcorn and soda, and an audience composed of mostly locals (so less crowded and missing the obnoxious, entitled upper class brethen who populate parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn) so that you can actually enjoy a movie in peace and comfort? While you can't order food and drink from your chair (a la Nitehawk), you have the next best thing - a cafe next door that has a full bar and serves decent Greek diner food. And if you don't like the cafe food, there are tons of great places to eat on Metropolitan Avenue, from Nick's Bistro to Dee's and The Other Place. And after the movie you can even get a delicious ice cream sundae from Eddie's Sweet Shop, a vintage ice cream parlor on the next block. What more can you ask for for a movie night? A bit of modern luxury but with affordable Queens prices for food and a vintage ice cream place to cap off a terrific movie night. Take that, Nitehawk!
