A 1926 building that opened as the Yiddish Art Theatre, with a Star of David set into the domed ceiling and Moorish plasterwork around it. It has shown films since 1992 and both the interior and the exterior were designated city landmarks in 1993. Seven screens now, and the largest one is the original auditorium.

Opened at 45 East 18th in 1892 and still running a dumbwaiter that hauls plates from the basement kitchen to the upstairs dining floor, the oldest one working in the city. Tin ceilings above a long mahogany bar, and a burger that has not changed much. The upstairs is where you go when the bar is three deep.
