This Lavazza outpost arrived here on Broadway at 13th Street in February 2020 but didn't have much time in business before the theater shut down in March 2020 at the start of the NY PAUSE.
At the time, this Regal-owned property was undergoing a renovation that saw the number of screens expand from 14 to 17 ... and the addition of a bar. (You can bring drinks into the auditorium; there isn't any in-theater service.)
The theater returned to movie-showing action in May...
as much as there many locals to buy from, this is a good coffee when brewed right!
ReplyDeletesadly the theaters lost me when they started requiring seat registration after 9-11, they could have just sold general admission tickets online but instead they turned it into a data mining operation.
Right, choosing a seat in advance is an infringement of privacy.
ReplyDeleteI thought everyone knew by now that all you have to do is rub a little popcorn butter under your seat and it blocks all the gamma rays.
ReplyDeleteFalse. You have to rub the popcorn butter on your forehead and the bridge of your nose.
ReplyDeleteIt's so weird that they renovated this place but didn't go to recliner seats in any of the theaters. Once you get used to those (and all the theaters in the Essex Crossing Regal have them), it's hard to go back to what are frankly not very good specimens of old-school seats.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are doing it all wrong. You're supposed to eat the popcorn and then put the bucket on your head to keep the Gamma rays out. Duh!
ReplyDeletePS -- choosing your movie seat before you go to the theater is maybe the best upgrade to movie-going in 50 years. It beats the hell out of having to arrive there needlessly early just to get a decent seat.
