Time Out Tips for experiencing Rooftop Cinema Club
The cinema is perched above midtown's streets on the Skylawn rooftop of the Embassy Suites Hotel on West 37th Street where the skyline serves as an incredible backdrop. Don't worry about background noise, though: You'll get your own set of over-ear headphones that block out street noise, and you can adjust the volume as needed.
As for seating, you'll get to choose a standard high-back lounge chair or a premium lounge chair that comes with extra cushions. You'll book your ticket type, then get to pick your exact seat on-site, first-come, first-served. Ticket prices range from $23-$29/person depending on your seating preference and movie time.
Keep in mind that you'll be out in the elements, not in an air-conditioned theater. If you're going to a daytime screening, wear some sunscreen; if you're going in the evening, bring a jacket.
