Rooftop Cinema Club Midtown - Seating

Rooftop Cinema Club Midtown

Midtown West

There were glimpses of a Winter Realm as you arrive through a wooden wardrobe onto the rooftop of…read morethe Embasy Suites. Voila! There are pine cone trees and small fairy dust snowflakes. Approached the Box Office and was handed my Bluetooth headphones. No snacks needed. No candy needed. No beverages needed. As I enter the cinema, an array of beige candles are glowing. The room temperature is comfortable. After a short period, our host introduces the house rules and film of the evening. The lights are lowered and the screening begins.

I went for an event which was good. The MC was engaging. I saw "there's something about Mary" with…read moreheadphones. The seats in the middle are quite more comfortable than the side. The food and drink are a bit overpriced in my opinion so definitely feel free to bring some in your bag. It doesn't look like they check. Getting there was a bit confusing. I entered the lobby and went straight to the elevators, but you can't get to any floor without scanning your hotel card. Luckily someone on the elevator had to go to the third floor. I couldn't find the dedicated elevator to the rooftop on the third floor. Wish there were signs when you enter the lobby on where to go. There's bathrooms right on the rooftop and also in the lobby and there's also a water refill in the lobby. The ticket is also a bit overpriced ~$30, but I went there for an event before the movie, otherwise, I would probably not go back. Nice experience and would've given in a five if everything wasn't so expensive.

HBO Outdoor Movies at Bryant Park

Theater District, Midtown West

The opening day of every season is the craziest day of that summer. People wait in line for 5pm for…read morethe "gates to be opened" and run, trampling each other to claim a spot. A dangerous situation. Looks hilarious when filmed from the bird's eye view. If you want a good seat, come at 5, right when people are allowed on the lawn. Grab a blanket and occupy an area. Then you have three hours till sunset to chill or walk around. No one touches others' blankets, so don't worry about leaving your stuff unattended (obviously take all your valuables with you). The movies typically last till 10ish. A refreshing outdoor experience to get yourself out of the office and enjoy some "fresh air" in the center of the city. A lot of people bring enticing spreads and even alcohol to spend the whole lazy evening picnicing in anticipation of the movie.

You know that scene in The Hunger Games where the tributes are counting down the clock and all of…read morethem are waiting with bated breath to leap down and race to the Cornucopia to grab life saving supplies?... That's basically what happened last night in Bryant Park for the outdoor screening of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Granted, I was one of "those" people in front who sprinted like a mad woman to nab a highly coveted blanket spot in the middle of the field next to that brown leaf but this was just pure, epic ridiculousness. I honestly wish I could have stood in the middle of the park and done a panorama video as the people came rushing towards me. It would have made a great opening scene in an apocalyptic film. (FYI the staff takes takes this event very seriously so don't annoy them by stepping over the tiny rope boundary between cement and field. The way they were acting, you think you'd set off a mine if you set foot on the grass before we were given clearance. Sounds familiar, no?) Once the mad dash has happened, you can sprawl out and enjoy chatting with friends and checking out the hot guys... specifically those dressed up like Indiana Jones. After perusing the field, you could tell which people were the regulars. Obviously we were amateurs because we did not even think to bring any of the stuff that our fellow neighbors for the evening had brought. We were surrounded by wicker picnic baskets, bottles of wine, champagne, champagne and wine glasses, decks of cards, pizza boxes, cheese and fruit platters, and anything else picnic worthy. Hell, someone was even smoking pot towards the end of the film. This isn't San Francisco people! Now get this, people are lining up around the field around 4 pm. They don't let you swarm it till 5 pm... and the movie doesn't start till sundown which is 8:30 pm roughly. Plus there's like 10 minutes of previews and a cartoon (weeeee!!!) before the film actually starts so you're looking at a 8:45 start time. Doing the math, I was there for over six hours! Holy moly. No wonder I was tired at the end. I think my favorites of the evening (besides the movie viewing itself) was the mini-dance party we had before the start of the film featuring the old school HBO introduction from the 80s. I wonder if my brother was even conceived yet when this was created but everyone just stood up and started dancing like crazy to this awful 80s tune. Oh how silly we all act together. My other favorite of the evening was the cartoon played after the previews (because in the old days a cartoon was always played before the feature). They played "One Froggy Evening" which if you know Chuck Jones cartoons is the famous dancing frog cartoon. I LOVEEEE this frog!! I was singing and dancing to "Hello ma baby!" with the rest of the crowd and then laughing hysterically at the poor, greedy man who got screwed over. Michigan J. Frog for the win! My only qualm about the evening was the organization of it (or lack there of I should say). If you need to use the restroom, do yourself a HUGE favor and do NOT bring your purse or bag out with you. Otherwise, you will have pulled a "me" and will have to stand in the ridiculously long line to get back in. Had I been warned by any of the event staff, I would have entrusted my purse with my friends and gone out sans bag. Ahhhh!! Other than that, what an exceptional Monday night. Yes, I only got five hours of sleep and yes, I dashed off like Batman into the darkness once the movie ended to catch the train but it was totally worth it. If you live in NYC or visit during the summer, do yourself a favor. Grab some of your friends, a few blankets, an adequately stocked picnic basket and make it over to Bryant Park to make a marvelous memory.

I had trouble actually connecting to the venues recommended FM App. -The venue is built on an incline giving everybody adequate room above the car's a great view. -Theres plenty of food options in terms of sweets and fried stuff, the curly fries are actually really good. -3 screens on the property so plenty of movie options too. -$12 per adult for a double feature can't be beat. -Tips: Bring Blankets, Chairs, Bug Spray and a Portable Radio if you don't want to use your cars electricity. Even if the movie is sold out online there will be tickets at the door,

The concessions are vital to a theater's resources and having many options is great. My only concerns have never been addressed by owners or management. The bathrooms in the lower section are tiny, dark and smelly, even at opening hour. The wait lines are long so you miss a lot mid-movie. The upper section has no bathrooms, but rather porta-potties, which aren't cleaned daily and are very dark at night. Another concern is projector brightness. Screen 1 has the brightest and largest screen and even dark themed movies are quite visible even in the rain. It helps that the projector is housed across the snack bar and very close to the screen. Screens 2 and 3 are projected from much farther away and into smaller screens. It seems that the projectors must be upgraded to liquid cooled laser projectors, whose brightness and clarity isn't affected with a proper lens. Instead in a dark themed movie, all one sees is only what is bright and so you're left guessing what's going on in the screen. This totally ruins the experience of going to the movies. There aren't many outdoor movie screens left and having the opportunity to enjoy one is an amazing experience. I truly hope and pray management addresses these issues, so that this establishment can continue to be enjoyed by generations upon generations!
