This elegant Nassau County theater was built in the 1960s and stood on Jericho Turnpike. It was part of a shopping center and was in the style of the Fresh Meadows Theater.
Most likely, the new multiplexes killed off this theater, which closed relatively young in the early ‘80s. It now houses a restaurant.

Yes, It was first Ponderosa Steak house and then there was a German sausage place like Wiener Schnitzel, but not that chain..
I remember it being Sante Fe… that wasn’t so long ago. Maybe 5 years?
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.
I reorganized my photobucket album and broke the photo links I posted above in December. Here’s the new link to the photos for anyone interested.
Except for the Meadowbrook every theatre in Nassau county this played was a Century House

I never could figure why they called it the Park East. Initially, I thought they were going to retain the Park, but didn’t. It closed simultaneously with the opening of the Park East. This naming has caused confusion in the postings on both theatres.
Seats from this theatre found additional life in the Bellmore Movies.
Does anyone remember a Manager named Mr. D?( Bernie)??
TKM: Someone asked about Century’s Park Theatre (not this new Park East), but I can’t even find it in the database.
I asked about the Park at it’s there. Enter New Hyde Park as the city and four theatres come up : Alan, Herricks, Park East and Park.
