Esquire Theatre

I love this spot. Right on Ludlow in the heart of Clifton, this great arts cinema looks the part, to be sure. Excellent exterior and interior décor make you feel fancy, no matter what you’re seeing. And the Esquire carries great international and foreign films year-​round, as well as some major American independent films and the big nominees (i.e., King’s Speech, Black Swan, etc). I’ve seen four films here and really loved the experience every time. The crowd is there to enjoy the movies and not to be disruptive. It’s a happening spot, so if you’re there on a Friday or Saturday, it might be wise to buy your ticket early and pop down to Olive’s or Sitwell’s for a quick drink, or eat some delicious Indian food at Ambar India just down the street. And that’s the other great thing about the Esquire: location, location, location. Can’t be beat. A great way to complete a wonderful night out in Clifton. Highly, highly recommended.
