Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center
Say “bye-bye” to blockbusters: after discovering the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, you’ll happily move on from mainstream movie theaters. Tucked away in Lincoln Center, this alternative entertainment house showcases the best in independent cinema, screening series, and more. Best of all? Tickets for two and an order of popcorn (a specialty flavor, of course) won’t break the bank here.
