Located in the Central Plaza Mall, this theatre is the next door neighbor to the Clearview Central Plaza Cinemas. Suprisingly this UA-Regal house is still well maintained both in and out. The number 1 auditorium appears seating about 700 people and has a large screen.
It was closed for renovations in July 2012.

Alamo drafthouse Cinemas will be taking over the operation of this theater ,planning to open during the holidays. This and the former Metro theater Manhattan , nyc area will have 2 Alamo cinemas. Here is a link to the Anouncement from Alamo’s website http://drafthouse.com/nyc_area/yonkers
Can’t wait for the Alamo! Have only heard good things about the chain, especially their no tolerace policy of cell phones. BTW the picture above is ridiculous. That pic is two blocks away and facing the wrong side of the street!
To the Webmaster:
This theat is closed and renovating . Please change the status
Taking a look at pictures from the neighborhood it looks comparable to the Alamo South Lamar, I imagine it’ll be programed accordingly. (Lamar is all digital, excellent presentation – with a few 35MM in place, they have a few special events but The Ritz, 1 ½ miles away runs events every night). They consider the Lamar location to be a bit more “family friendly” – and the Alamo is most of the time (not of coarse during Terror Tuesdays or Weird Wednesdays).
Think of the Alamo as a cross between the best movie theatre you’ve ever been to and The Cheesecake Factory (in that they have a huge menu, and it’s all fresh and delicious). They care about the presentation and movie selection – as well as having a world class beer and cocktail selection – and they have lines around the block because seeing a film there is just more fun than seeing it elsewhere. (I just returned from 3 weeks in Austin and every time I go to my local, and very good theatre chain, Dipson – I’m slightly pissed someone won’t bring me freshly baked chocolate chip cookies with a scoop of ice cream – 90 minutes into the movie – – the Alamo has spoiled me on other theaters). I can’t wait for Alamo to come to NYC so I can take my friends and show them just how awful AMC’s Dine In Theaters are.
Something, or should I say nothing is going on over here. The Alamo website says the theatre should be open in time for the 2102 holiday season. As of yesterday when I drove by there was nothing being done. Not even a sign or notice of anything happening. Have the plans been scrapped? Hope not. I hear only great things about the Alamos!
I was tweeted by the Alamo Drafthouse that the opening maybe during the spring of 2013.
Opps. I obviously meant 2012. Thanks Fred for the update
No problem , in the oringinal annoucement Alamo stated for a Christmas2112 opening but there were delay. It will be worth the wait if they are able to do it right.
Fred…I don’t know if you’re in that area but I’m so looking forward to this, especially after seeing their PSAs. As of now, the only theatres showing ‘specialty fare’ is the Bronxville Triplex (where there is zero parking) and the god-awful Cinema 100 Greenburgh. I just hope their pricing policy is more in line with Westchester County than Manhattan ($14 and up)
