New York's Metro Cinema Unveils Private Theater and Dining Experience
Get ready for a unique cinematic adventure as the Metro Cinema in New York's Chelsea is set to open its doors this summer (exact date to be confirmed) [1]. This innovative cinema concept, created by Tim League, the founder and former CEO of Alamo Drafthouse, promises a private theater and dining experience like no other.
The Metro Cinema does away with the traditional single seat model, offering private cinema suites for groups of 4 to 20 people. Each suite is equipped with plush motorized recliners, massive screens, and immersive sound systems, ensuring an unparalleled movie-watching experience [2].
But the real highlight is the themed dining experience that precedes the movie. Before the lights dim, the private cinema suite transforms into a private dining room, serving a pre-movie multi-course, chef-driven dinner themed around your chosen film. Italian dishes for Goodfellas, afternoon tea for Downton Abbey, or a range of other thematic menus are on offer [2]. Alcoholic beverages and specialty cocktails are available, although they come at an additional cost [1].
The reservation and booking process is simple. Choose a private screening suite of your preferred size, select your movie from an extensive curated library, or request a special title. The booking includes a meal timed just before the movie starts [2]. Advanced reservations for the Metro Cinema are already open for September and beyond [3].
The movie selection at Metro Cinema includes current box office hits, cult classics, live sports, and TV series, ensuring there's something for everyone [4]. For a truly customized experience, you can even request custom film selections for an additional fee [1].
Located at 131 8th Ave, Chelsea, the Metro Cinema is more than just a cinema; it's a full-suite private event reservation that combines luxury recliners, immersive sound and visuals, and a themed fine dining experience — all booked online or via Metro Cinema’s site for a private movie night customized to your tastes and timing [1][2][5].
In addition, the Greenpoint Film Festival is making a comeback in August, showcasing over 100 films from around the world [6]. If you're a film enthusiast, this summer promises a feast of cinematic delights in New York.
