"Who needs DVR when we have Nitehawk Cinema in the neighborhood. This theater keeps us wholly entertained with the latest features, cult classics and even binge sessions of our favorite shows. Art house snobs step aside, this theater plays a mix of it all which makes it feel right at home in Williamsburg." - Krrb
"Theaters in NYC like Nitehawk and Alamo Drafthouse have already been doing this for years." - Luke Fortney
"A Williamsburg dine-in cinema opened in 2011 that blends first-run and retro programming and was the first motion-picture theater in New York State to secure a liquor license after its owner successfully lobbied to overturn an old ban. The operation runs a full kitchen with no microwaves or reheated nachos, aiming to elevate the food experience with made-to-order dishes and a dedicated cocktail program; menu development prioritizes items that can be produced quickly at peak showtime, eaten in the dark, and are low-noise (soup is explicitly avoided because of spoon clanking and slurping). Popcorn remains the top seller by a wide margin, but lighter, shareable plates and cocktails perform especially well during fun, group-oriented films, and staff are attentive to audience mood (sometimes delaying clearing so patrons can digest emotionally heavy films)." - Martha Daniel
If you need a pause, this is a fun small movie theater with excellent popcorn and (casual) restaurant quality food served at your seats.
