Name a Seat at Walter Reade Theater

A heralded gem of New York’s film scene, the Walter Reade Theater has hosted countless artists since its opening in 1991 and continues to be a gathering place for cinema lovers. Unique in its sound quality, sightlines, and superb projection, it is one of the few art house theaters in the city that can screen films with today’s modern technology while also showcasing the richness of archival footage in 16mm, 35mm, and 70mm.

“One of the finest movie-watching rooms in the city, thanks to a high ceiling, steeply banked seats, a large screen and superb projection.” — Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
