AMC Loews 19th St. East 6

Please Febreze Theater 4!!! We walked in for an afternoon movie and found the place reeking of BO. The seats were dingy, stained, rickety & uncomfortable. The one star is for the convenient location.

Horrible old seats
This place is in a good location and often has good movies but the seats are like 40 years old.
They also don’t have automated ticket machines which can make the line long.

I always feel like this theater is on the verge of closing and/​or falling apart.
The seats are rickety and the theaters are just on the older side of things.
It’s fine for the purpose of showing a movie, but, I definitely enjoy a little more personality and/​or pizazz.

A run down little last resort of a theatre. While the old and stained chairs are surprisingly comfortable, the staff is, unsurprisingly, sick of being there. Don’t blame them.

The layout here is weird. The person you’re buying the tickets from is also the person checking them. The seats are also very small and and the rows are tight. Amc needs to upgrade this place pronto.

This small theater has narrow aisles between seats, old & stained seats, & one available cashier for box office sales (you have go into the building since the box office window outside is closed). Their showings and times weren’t bad (I watched «Trainwreck» weeks after it opened & redeemed gold ticket vouchers) but the experience could be better. If you’re going to pay for tickets, I recommend going to another, larger, & cleaner AMC location or to the Regal UA theater on the other side of Union Square.

This theater is alright but definitely not my first choice in the area. It’s kind of dirty and I personally do not prefer the layout.

They really need more ticket kiosks. The opening weekend Trainwreck was paying the line for the box office was down the block and they have ONE ticket kiosk. This place is sorely in need of an upgrade but is pretty sealable if you go during the week/​off hours. Definitely not your first choice for a big movie. i.e. I will not be seeing Star Wars Force Awakens at this location.

It’s rather rundown, and I have to admit I’m usually bummed when I learn a movie has ended up here instead of the Union Sq Regal. Compared to most of the chain theaters, this place is totally no-​frills. Pretty ragged seats and no stadium seating. And an extremely low-​key concession stand. So if you come looking for the normal modern AMC trappings you will be disappointed. But if you rate it by the same standards as some of the more «homey» venues in town then it’s not bad. Gotta say, I *do* love a theater that still updates their marquee the old-​school way with plastic letters rather than digitally.

This is my favorite AMC because its a good walking distance from my home and they usually have good selections and times for movies. However it is smaller than both the 34^th and 42^nd St AMCs. That being said, it feels like there are less seats in this theater though that is not to say its less spacious for seating than the other two.
There are restrooms on all except for the main floor which is also a plus. Otherwise all escalators and no elevators.

a smaller theater of the chain that is usually over looked so its seldom crowded when I go. Its also within walking distance of the 23^rd street path train for easy access from Jersey.
They only have frozen blue raspberry drinks, and no frozen cokes, but their popcorn is pretty good.
They only have one automatic ticket vending machine, meaning its actually faster to talk to the real person and get the ticket that way rather than waiting for the idiot who can’t read to figure out how to buy a ticket and pay with a credit card.

*** Uncomfortable seats, Small theater ***
Compared to other AMCs, I’m actually pretty disappointed by this theater. This location is pretty old so the seats are uncomfortable. I probably won’t go to this location again since I have been to other nicer AMC locations.

I really like the AMC Loews 19^th Street. Always have since it was built. It’s in my neighborhood which is my first plus.
From 32^nd and Second to 11^th & Third, to 12^th & Second, to Union Square to 23^rd & Eight and more, we are blessed with a plethora of movie screens. Good movies? That’s up for debate. But my preferred theater is the AMC Loews 19^th Street.
No, it’s not the most state of the art or most comfortable, but it’s so well-​run, comfortable, and cozy. I don’t miss stadium seating at all. People act like people should… rarely any cellphone use, talking, or theater used as a babysitter.
It definitely needs freshening to satisfy some (I believe it was built in 1988), but for me it comfy. The staff is absolutely wonderful. Very personable and accommodating.
I’ve always had a great moviegoing experience at the AMC Loews 19^th Street, and am always disappointed when a movie that I want to see isn’t there.

There’s a difference between empty and abandoned. History isn’t always kind to «new» theaters (anyone remember Cinema City in Queens?) but this Flatiron pioneer is a decent spot, even if the buzz has moved a few blocks down Broadway.
It’s possible that I had a lingering bias due to an unpleasant trip here to see «Rumor Has It» in 2005 (only part of the angst resulted from the fact that I saw «Rumor Has It.») But now I like the 19^th St. East 6 when I’m in the mood to avoid crowds and for recent occasions like my «Into The Woods» viewing when this was the only place still showing it.
This isn’t stadium seating, which isn’t a problem for empty screenings, but I wouldn’t want to catch a blockbuster here opening weekend.

This is NYC! Get some new theater seats!
Pro: the location
Cons: the seats! The theaters in the city are just horrible. They’re so uncomfortable! It’s ridiculous.

listen, they have the movies i want, the popcorns fine and the movie theater… well, its small and not inviting but clean. The chair. are not comfortable at all. the screen is small. The bathroom are not inviting either. But its NY and even establishments have rent cost to worry about. Folks. water is 4 dollars. its a hard knock life.

The theatre is very similar to the Alpines movie theatre in Brooklyn, small and not kept in very good condition. I went here on a Friday night with the bf afterwork to catch Horrible Boss 2 because it was not showing at the main Union Square Regal movie theatre.
There entrance was one door, while the other two doors say exit which was confusing as heck. It’s like even before you go in the place is warning you to find a better branch of AMC.

Came her to watch Sin City 2 in 3D, matinée. $ 11.50.
Price was good. Theatre was smaller and older than expected. But the most disturbing was that the entrance to my assigned auditorium wreaked of urine. …this was perplexing.
Oh and Sin City 2 was terrible.
But I’d come back if they had another matinée I wanted to see. Hardly anyone there.

Yes, this theatre is a bit run down and in dire need of an upgrade. But you know what? I kind of like it that way. I know that I don’t need to use Fandango to get a ticket, because they rarely sell out. The downside is a lot of the big blockbuster flicks don’t open here.
If there’s a movie I want to see playing here opening weekend, I generally choose to go here first, over the Kips Bay AMC (which is newer and a heck of a lot nicer). The folks at AMC would be very wise to rehab this place, so as to compete better with the Union Square Regal Cinema.
The people here are nice, and it’s generally not too crowded. The best part? They have a matinée until noon, year round (lack of matinée is the main reason I don’t go to Regal Union Square).
The theatres do run a bit cold, so bring a sweater – even in the summer!
Lastly, if this theatre is good enough for Susan Sarandon, it is definitely good enough for me. I spotted her here with her boyfriend (who’s my age). She’s in her late-​60s and her boyfriend is in his mid-​30s. She was sporting a bad ass tattoo down the back of her neck. What an awesome role model! You go, girl!

I SWEAR. FREAKIN FURIOUS!!! WASTED 30 min of my time walking in freaking 18 degree weather to find that this place was closed 20 min before their last movie showing at 11:15pm! Now I’m drowning my sorrows at Miss Korea because someone was being lazy and bounced at the box office. For reals? I mean really? Yeah it’s a Wednesday night and who in their right mind goes to a movie at 11pm on a Wednesday night. ME! Damn it. It’s called winter break with no school!
I have proof from 3 sites stating that there was a showing at 11:15pm! I’m not crazy or just complaining for no reason!
