I worked here from 96 – 2000 it was a loews theatre and did not change until the merge with AMC in 2006. I worked for loews since 1992 and this was a loews theatre the entire time until we merged with cineplex at which time it changed the name to Loews Cineplex (still under loews management ) there was also a time in there during the 90’s maybe around 97 or 98 when we were called Sony ( but sony and loews were sister company’s ) so again all the same management. Loews ( upper ) management did not survive the last merge with AMC in 2006.
yeap they had the best 1000 island dressing, everything else I could careless about, I remember them because of the dressing, I don’t remember a sausage place.
Worst part about the Raceway is transportation, but if it had a big bus hub like the field it would get the same trouble making crowd. So it is nicer for elderly and couples and family’s.
This theatre under went a major makeover in about 98 maybe 3 yrs after the raceway opened, all new seats, carpet, wallpaper, retro fitted the kitchen and on and on.
There is only so much management can do when customers are constantly kicking holes in the walls and ripping seats with their pocket knifes, grafetti on the walls inside and out, gang problems and so on.
Loews did not let this one go because of the raceway it was just the opposite, Loews had always called the Raceway and Roosevelt Field their “Crown Jewels” big grossing theatres.
They are not in any comptition with each other as they are booked very differently and clean up with 18 screens.
The crowd (Yourger trouble makers) have no respect for this theatre and tear it up all the time, everytime they fix it they tear it down.
This theatre was a loews theatre, and also operated under the name of Sony
The last movie I saw there was mommy dearest in 81' I don’t know how long after it closed, but it wasn’t long. There were two restaurants there before charlie brown, I beleive the first one was the pondarosa then It was a Santa Fe steakhouse
yes, I finally figure it out that I had the wrong name after searching some more, I’ve lived in NHP since 1978 and still don’t remember the Park theatre did it close before I moved here? I actually worked in the building that used to be the park theatre when I was 16, it used to be telemarketing for newsday.
I thought the theater in Garden city Park was the Park Theatre? thats what the name of it was in 1978, it was next to the burger king on Jericho Tpke. The Eldees is now a bank
I was a manager here in the mid 90’s, this was so beautiful, I remember a couple of those little tiles falling off in front of the box office and myself and my usher trying to cement them back on. This was the best place in my opinion to watch movies. It always reminded me of when I was a kid, I would always watch the movie’s from the balcony.

When I worked here they had security, now they have armed security. Be careful if you attend this place with younger kids, better to see mat.

I was one of the managers here in the 90’s, this is very sad. I loved this place.
