Metro Cinema to Open in Chelsea, Offering Private Movie Nights with Themed Dinners
Get ready, movie enthusiasts! Metro Cinema, a new and exciting cinema experience, is set to open in Chelsea, New York later this summer. Founded by Tim League, the brains behind Alamo Drafthouse, Metro Cinema promises an unparalleled cinema experience that combines luxury, privacy, and fine dining.
Each private screening suite at Metro Cinema is equipped with motorized recliners, giant screens, and surround sound systems, ensuring a comfortable and immersive viewing experience for up to 20 guests. The best part? You can book the entire theatre for a private movie night.
But that's not all. Before the movie starts, the suite transforms into a private dining room, where a chef-led themed dinner awaits. The menu is tailored to your movie choice, with options ranging from Italian cuisine for Goodfellas to classic afternoon tea for Downton Abbey. Beverages are served throughout the movie, ensuring you never miss a beat.
Themed menus are also available for various movies, such as a Superman Dinner, Paddington Afternoon Tea, Wicked: Thanksgiving Dinner, and many more.
Booking Your Private Movie Night
To secure a private movie night at Metro Cinema, you need to reserve one of their private screening suites. Prices start from around $200 for smaller rooms and go up to $1,000 for larger spaces, plus approximately $100 per person for dining and $50 per person for drink packages.
To make a reservation, contact Metro Cinema directly at their location at 131 8th Avenue, Chelsea. Specify your preferred film, the number of guests, and any special preferences for ambiance or thematic decor. Review the pricing, which includes a private screening room, dinner, and drinks, and confirm the timing, typically four-hour bookings.
If you want to enhance your group’s arrival or departure with luxury transportation, consider NYC limo services that offer VIP coordination and can align with your private movie event (this is optional and separate from Metro Cinema’s booking).
Reservations for Metro Cinema can be made online, and early reservations for September and beyond are now open. Early booking is advisable given the exclusivity and novelty of the venue.
The Greenpoint Film Festival is also returning in August 2025 with over 100 films from around the world, making it the perfect time to visit Metro Cinema. So, mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable cinematic experience at Metro Cinema!
After indulging in a themed dinner inspired by your movie choice, you can enjoy a comfortable and immersive viewing experience at Metro Cinema's home-and-garden-like private screening suites, perfect for a relaxing evening or a lively gathering. To elevate your experience further, consider booking luxury transportation services for an unparalleled entrance and departure at this entertainment hub.
