Double Feature at 92Y Tribeca
92Y Tribeca is my new favorite place to see movies. Instead of shopping on Black Friday, my husband and I went to see a double feature of movies from the 90s featuring malls: Clueless and Mallrats. I was so excited when I saw that 92Y was going to be showing one of my favorite movies from high school, Clueless, on the big screen. I loved Clueless so much I wrote a paper about the language used in it my freshman year of college. Neither one of us had ever seen Mallrats, so this was a great chance to see a movie of our time that we missed. Since we decided to stay put this holiday we get the whole weekend to do fun things around the city and I thought this sounded like great fun… and it was!
The tickets were $15 for both movies and a beer. That is a pretty good deal. While I have seen authors speak at 92Y’s large space on the Upper East side, neither one of us had never been to the 92Y Tribeca space. It is a really great space. They have a little cafe with big windows, comfy chairs and a few televisions with sports on and music low enough to talk over. The cafe serves interesting snacks and beer and wine. At the intermission we ordered the hummus and the chocolate pudding and both were quite tasty.
In addition to the cafe, there is a screening room where we saw the movies, it is fairly small, seating maybe 75 people and a big screen. But the theater is new and seats were comfortable and you almost felt as if you were watching a movie in your own private screening room with a bunch of your friends. You could bring the yummy food into the theater to watch the movie. There was also another room with some kind of event going on, so they apparently offer options on a Friday night. All in all we both had a great time and wished that 92Y Tribeca was across the street from our apartment so we could hang out there all the time.
