Calling all gays in the New York City area looking for a new way to spend a night out: this one’s for you. We recently discovered a venue for an awesome experience that can be an expensive night out — but one well worth the price. Visit Metro Private Cinema for a five-star treatment (and a four-course meal) unlike anywhere else in the Big Apple.
Metro Private Cinema offers a new twist on the classic movie night with friends. You can book a private room, allowing for an intimate theater experience that accommodates up to twenty people. Since the minimum booking is four, you can double date with another couple or bring the whole gang for a memorable night out. They play recently released films, so you can see what’s in theaters without having to visit a regular AMC.
More Than Just Movies
More than just an outing to enjoy a movie, you’re also served the aforementioned four-course meal from an impressive menu selection. Once dining is over, the staff comes back to set up your movie. Move over to the room’s cozy reclining chairs, and you’re set for movie heaven.
Metro Private Cinema’s incredibly warm and welcoming staff make the experience even more magical. They even offer a ten-minute bathroom break between dinner and the movie!
No more stressing about public movie theaters, where quiet and phone-free experiences are becoming increasingly rare. This approach to movie-watching is perfect for cinephiles who want to see the latest films without the risk of distraction from other patrons.
Focus on The Food and Drinks
Don’t worry about waiting in a crowded theater lobby where spoilers fly from people leaving their movies. Instead, you can wait for your group to arrive while enjoying the speakeasy-like bar area. It’s when you get to your room that the unforgettable meal really begins.
Appetizers include an entire charcuterie board to start your movie night. Themed drinks and snacks inspired by the films being shown are also on the menu. In addition to these themed dishes, Metro Private Cinema offers a rotating, seasonal menu with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Chef Josh Guarneri trained in Michelin restaurants and has prepared a wonderful, inclusive menu. Vegan dishes like Chilled Corn Soup and Ricotta Crostini start the meal right, and the Blue Prawns fermented in periperi taste scrumptious. The highlight may be the desert, calling to the movie theme of the venue with a caramel popcorn-coated ice cream.
And don’t forget about the delicious, buttery popcorn! After dinner, the friendly staff offers a variety of flavored popcorn for you to enjoy during the movie. You can also order your choice of candy.
A Movie Experience For Everyone
Metro Park Cinema offers ADA seating, open caption screenings, assistive audio, and other accommodations to support all guests. Here’s hoping disabled people and anyone with neurodivergent needs can enjoy the experience without worrying about common public theater inconveniences.
Metro Private Cinema is the resurrection of the once-dead third space. It’s a new kind of way to hang out with friends on a night out, or catch a mid-day matinee with whoever’s around. You do have to book about a week in advance, so hit up your movie-loving buddies, find a film that’s out, and see if it’s playing at Metro Private Cinema.
This individualized movie theater experience could truly be a game-changer for the film industry and for nights out with friends.
