Editorial Review for Clearview's Ziegfeld Theater – by Bilge Ebiri
The Scene
The Ziegfeld's got history (The current theater sits on the site of the original "Ziegfeld Follies"), a massive screen, elegant decor and impeccable projection quality on its side. What it doesn't have is stadium seating or adequate restroom facilities.
The Draw
This is the best place in the city to see big event pictures (like "The Phantom Menace"--which opened here), or any ambitious work that demands booming surround sound, a huge screen, and an applauding crowd of over a thousand. Be warned: Big events attract big crowds--lines for shows often stretch for several blocks. In terms of munchies, there's nothing new here. For variety, try the Au Bon Pain next door.

The best movie theatre in Tri-state. No comparison. The ambience is key. The feel of the theatre is Broadway'esque. I enjoy the size of the theatre, the size of the screen, and the audio. The lobby is beautiful, with immaculant restrooms. The employees are very pleasant. Bringing in outside foods is wonderful, especially during morning showings.
Pros: Ambience sets the theme
Cons: Parking is expensive. No street parking.
