A two-screen cinema that opened on Ludlow Street in 2016 around rare archival prints and premieres, with a restaurant modeled on the commissaries of the old Hollywood studios.

Before
Wu's Wonton KingLarge round tables under bright light on East Broadway, doing Cantonese roast meats, Peking duck and whole fried crab. The roast suckling pig has to be ordered ahead. There is no corkage at all, so people carry their own bottles in. It took over the old Wing Shoon storefront in 2016.

After
Le DiveA French tabac styled bar on the corner of Canal and Orchard, with most of the crowd standing on the sidewalk. Natural wine by the glass and a short menu built around pâté and tinned fish. It opened in the 2020s and has not tried to become anything larger since.
