A Lower East Side cinema turns repertory film into a full evening out.
- Location
- 7 Ludlow Street, New York, NY 10002
A place worth knowing
Metrograph makes a film screening the start of a longer evening on Ludlow Street. Its programme brings archival films, 35mm screenings, premieres and filmmaker conversations together with a bookshop, candy store and the Commissary restaurant.
Choose a session for the film or discussion, then allow time on either side to browse or eat. Check that your ticket is for the New York cinema, as Metrograph also runs a separate streaming service.
