Artsy cinema for indie & foreign films with a cafe.
"The Angelika features a diverse mix of first run independent and international foreign language films with six mid-size screens and excellent audio and projection quality. The café located on the main floor is open to the public and sells food and beverages curated from local New York artisans. This is one of the definitive cinemas of choice for filmmakers and film lovers alike." - 345 Design
"MS and JM, a tech education nonprofit worker and music journalist in New York, enjoy weekly movie nights and dining out. They often explore new restaurants, sometimes mixing upscale dining with casual spots like Taco Bell." - Bettina Makalintal
"You go to the original Angelika—as pretentious as it may sound—for the love of film, its history, the whole shebang of the moviegoing ritual, warts, and all. Sure, you’ll hear the rumble of the nearby subway lines beneath whispered dialogue, and the subterranean layout might leave some wanting for air, but where else are you going to get a kimchi dog to pair with that Romanian indie from the 80s? The real highlight of this theater is their special programming, which regularly welcomes film history to walk their narrow aisles. Filmmakers, directors, and ensemble casts often drop in for panels and q&a’s that feel more like intimate fireside chats than PR interviews."
"A downtown Manhattan art-house cinema where the author recalls seeing the 2004 premiere of a landmark documentary in a crowded theater, a moment that captured the film’s immediate cultural impact and the palpable sense of audience engagement that helped spur broader conversations about processed food." - Adam Reiner
