AMC Lincoln Square 13

The 12 Best Movie Theaters in New York City

"If you're looking for ribcage-shaking Dolby Atmos sound and the biggest IMAX screen in the country (measuring in at 75.6 feet tall and 101 feet wide), the AMC at Lincoln Square is the king of the city's big chain theaters. The theater is a fun matinee excursion for families, fit with head-sized Icees cups, viral popcorn buckets, and wonderfully crisp 70 mm projection. As is the policy at every AMC theater in the country, tickets for screenings prior to 4 p.m. have 25% taken off the evening price, making a day at the theater one of the best-value things to do in the city. If your crew is hungry afterwards, the theater also places moviegoers near some great crowdpleasers—Magnolia Bakery is just one block up, and Parm's Upper West Side location is just another."

Matt Rogers’s Grub Street Diet

"A movie-theater experience watching the Taylor Swift Eras Tour film for essentially a sixth viewing; the author skipped popcorn because they were full from dinner and instead enjoyed a Coca-Cola Slurpee while taking in the performance on screen." - Zach Schiffman, Maanvi Kapur

Dwight Garner’s Grub Street Diet

"A large multiplex on the Upper West Side where weekday moviegoing is economical (AMC Stubs members can get $5 Tuesday tickets), though the pre-show commercial reel includes a ubiquitous Nicole Kidman spot many find soporific." - Alan Sytsma, Adam Mazur

See Top Gun or that new Jurassic Park movie in IMAX and then talk to Danny about it at the wedding.
