Roxy Cinema Tribeca

Cool little theater that I imagine doesn’t make money, or at least not much, but it’s a nice perk of being a hotel guest. They show small-release movies, sometimes ones that aren’t showing anywhere else in New York. They’re one of a few theaters that do e-ticketing with MoviePass, which is nice, although they don’t do assigned seating. The seats are the red plush variety, and low, but the springs were still working and there was actually a lot of leg room. The fabric is a little scratchy. I thought he sound was a bit loud, could have been the movie. The picture quality is fine, no complaints. The front row is several years back from the screen, which isn’t huge, so no one will be too close, but the back rows are pretty far back. Still, no one will strain their neck looking up. They sell typical movie snacks and popcorn, although I’m not sure how fresh it is. There’s also a great coffee place in the hotel lobby and one can obviously bring a coffee into the theater. If they are showing something I want to see, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

Truly one of the worst projections I’ve ever seen. It was 35mm and virtually every reel change was botched somehow. Horrible sight lines, too - I sat behind people with big hair and strained to see the screen for much of the movie. Won’t come back here unless I can’t see a movie anywhere else.

I went to this cinema to see a movie that was posted online. When we got there they informed us the movie was cancelled because they didn't own the license to show the movie. I was a bit disappointed but the most annoying part was the attitude of the girl who works there. Minimal to no eye contact, very aggressive and angry. She was looking away while she talked to us and treated us like we are to blame for something. Not sure whats going on?! The place is very cute but with people like that working there not sure if I want to go there again.

My husband brought me here on a surprise date and oh. my. gosh. what a darling place. The theaters were newly renovated but still have their vintage feel. Seats are very comfortable and the place is very clean. Definitely planning on going back!

A wonderful experience. A hidden cinematic gem.
