Wonder what Marcus Loew would think about the current use of his original building site, which has numerous images displayed here
Al Schwartz would also have a fit if he saw what happened to his beautiful Meadows in Fresh Meadows the demolition and rebuild of the Shore in Huntington.
Al Schwartz and Michael Landis were all about the money and could care less.
Yikes! My first visit here in over thirty years, and it is so rundown and neglected and feels ready to blow away in the next big storm. It is in some ways better than I remembered, because the eighties sloped floor multiplex auditoria (opened in early 1990s but design very much of the 1980s) with their aging squeaking seats and the aisles down the center do at least have decent size screens, and they were filling some seats on a slow December weekend, but Manhattan deserves better than for this rundown multiplex to be the only option north of 60th Street and East of Central Park.
Please update,total seats 1785, the number listed above was the original seats.
Seating capacity:
Theatre 1 184
Theatre 2 235
Theatre 3 272
Theatre 4 251
Theatre 5 239
Theatre 6 261
Theatre 7 353
