That’s the ornamental ceiling inside Theater 1 at the Village East Cinema, which is possibly my favorite place to see a movie in the city. It opened in 1926 as a Yiddish theater and has been through several incarnations and a restoration since then. It now has several more screens on the lower level, but Theater 1 still has that majestic atmosphere you don’t often experience when you go to the movies anymore. Last night, S and I had a bit of an unexpected New York moment when we went to see a 10:30 showing of The Adventures of Tintin there and ended up having the entire place to ourselves.
