AMC Loews Kips Bay 15

Editorial Review for AMC Loews Kips Bay 15 – by Bilge Ebiri

The Scene
Sprawling near the East River, this 15-screen multiplex offers comfortable stadium seating and screen sizes ranging from immense to more intimate. Its relatively remote location reduces the ambient-noise level and makes for a pleasant experience--both before and after the show.

The Draw
Lots of NYU med-school students and Murray Hill dwellers mean a polite, attractive clientele. The automated ticket machines reduce gridlock, as does the theater's spacious interior. Shows at this theater do tend to sell out, though--particularly for the more independent films--so check it out before you make the trek. The munchies are standard movie fare, which today can consist of anything from popcorn to chicken strips. If you hanker for something a tad more highbrow, pop on over to the Borders Books Cafe next door, or to the Starbucks across the street, and stuff an overpriced scone in your pocket.
