I went to an evening piano concert here…read moreas a single, older lady, and I found all the personnel to be very accommodating and friendly. They cheerfully ushered attendees to their seats if needed and when asked, they had the temperature adjusted. The restrooms are up on 2nd floor, so the grateful, less-sure-of-foot attendee might (discreetly) be allowed use of the private, employee facility downstairs. Smiles everywhere, and I REALLY liked seeing the security team! After the performance, two police cars were also at the curb out front and I asked an officer if I could stand there to try to identify the Uber I had called for. The officer told me to wait back on the sidewalk and HE would watch for and stop my Uber driver! He did, and even opened the car door for me! Sweet N.J.cop!

Paragon Ballroom provides exceptional dance learning experience, and exceptional results. I had…read morequite a few teachers before I came to Paragon that I "outgrew" quite fast. In Paragon this is simply impossible. The lessons are on the highest imaginable level. It is not just about learning the steps, but it is about understanding how you body functions. It is about how to make any movement in the most efficient way. Grace and beauty become the outcome of speed and precision. The studio has a great team of dedicated teaches who take responsibility in the students that they take on and are genuinely interested in their progress. Paragon also has a warm and informal, home-like atmosphere. This is a studio for those who really want to learn how to dance, who are passionate enough about dancing to put in hard work and dedication, and be rewarded with amazing results. And it is not by chance that many Paragon students dance on national level and win major dance competitions.

Since I had a VIP ticket, I was able to sit in front. The show lasted for an hour and a half. The theater can seat up to 200 guests. After the show, a guest paid $40 to upgrade to VIP status for the Q&A and photos. After the Q&A and photos, I was able to leave before 9 pm. May come again.

New vision is no longer Running the Cranford theater. They were just leasing it from the owners …read more Now the owners have taken over and did a wonderful renovation back in the end of 2019. New seats and carpeting along with other changes have made this a really great theater. They have classic movies once a month and other special events around Halloween and Christmas time. It was great coming to see the original Halloween movie from 1978 they even had a drive in in the back parking lot when the indoor theater was closed in 2020 The Staff are very friendly and helpful. The screens are of a good size for a multiplex crystal clear projection and great sound. Definitely come down and support this movie theater in the wonderful downtown of Cranford New Jersey. Get something to eat in one of the good restaurants before after the movie. Too many independent theaters in New Jersey have closed over the past few years. Definitely come out and support this great theater .Doreen Sayegh along with her father work really hard making this a great place to see a movie.

Before the invention of 15 movie multi-plexes featuring stylized lobbies, stadium seating,…read moresuper-sized reclining chairs, and full menus, we all went to cinemas like The Cranford Theater. The concession stand sells popcorn, candy, and soda. The seats are small and squeak when you shift position. The rows don't have enough room between them for you to squeeze past seated patrons without banging against their knees. The bathrooms look exactly like the bathrooms in a typical 1970s grammar school. I saw another Yelp reviewer observed that no one under age 50 comes here, and I noticed that too. If the only movie theaters you've been to were built this century, then an old cinema like this one would be a shock. I doubt anyone born since 1990 would tolerate sitting for three hours in this dated theater. Parking is a problem. We parked on the street a few blocks away and walked because the tiny lot in front of the movie theater was already full, even though we were about 20 minutes early. Despite being an old theater, the actual sound and screen projection of the movie is fine. This cinema does get the latest releases and shows them at convenient times, including matinees. It's got a prime location downtown within walking distance of many places to buy food and drinks. Look for discount ticket prices on certain days and times.
