New York, as one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, is always up to date with the latest films. AMC among other popular multiplex cinemas play numerous films but usually not independent ones. Here are four indie movie theaters that you must visit in New York.

 

1. Angelika Film Center

Located in 18 W. Houston St. at Mercer St. is the Angelika Film Center. It is popular for featuring independent and foreign films. It opened in 1989 in NOHO and is a movie theater chain that has cinemas in Washington D.C, San Diego, Fairfax County, two in Texas; one in Plano and Dallas. It also has a great gourmet cafe as well.

 

2. Quad Cinema

This cinema is located right on The New School campus on 34 West 13th Street in Greenwich Village. It was opened to the public on October 18, 1972, and it is actually the first cinema to claim multiple screens to project for its audience.

 

3. Cinema Village

Cinema Village is the longest running theater in Greenwich Village; it was built in 1963 showcasing vintage classics, contemporary, and critical cult films.  

 

4. IFC Center

Located in 323 6th Ave is IFC Center, which is an art house theater in Greenwich Village, as well. It features extravagant seating, weekend classics, cult films on midnights of Fridays and Saturdays playing. This location also sells organic popcorn made with natural butter! And who can say no to organic popcorn!?

Grab your friends and catch a film in one of these wonderful theaters on a free weekend. It’ll be an adventure!
