Hi all at Cinema Treasures and all loyal followers,
We live in the UK and recently visited New York,we stayed on 57th street and were looking for a movie theatre that was still playing the movie we wanted to see,luckily we came upon the Sutton.
Our first thoughts of the place when we first walked in early afternoon to get tickets for the 7pm showing were not good,the place was deserted apart from one member of staff who was no kidding,sitting down asleep,sound asleep to the point where we couldnt wake them with our intentionally loud conversation,the Junior mints and popcorn were a free for all!
Obviously being law obiding British citizens we left empty handed but with cautious thoughts in our minds about returning to the later showing.
Throwing caution to the wind and really wanting to see this movie we returned just before 7,half expecting the place to have been robbed,luckily it was busy,so we decided to stay.
In the end both the staff there were very helpful and friendly,snacks were good and most importantly the screen was excellent.
Although we are more used to the modern multiplexes this movie theatre was a breath of fresh air,the floor and seats were clean,the movie played perfectly and the sound was great.
What a pleasure to enjoy a movie(which by the way was also excellent)in such a respected theatre with such history.
We were lucky to get the main screen and sneaking a peak at screen two we were glad.
All in all after the initial first impression a great time was had by all in a classic American theatre,well done to all the staff for making us feel at home and to all of New York city for a fantastic time which included my Proposal of marriage to my partner(she said yes!)
