For urbanites longing for a classic single-screen movie theater within the city limits, as well as those on the outskirts who've tired of the multiplexes that have inundated the metropolitan area, the Moolah Theatre & Lounge in Midtown provides an exceptionally comfortable option in a historically stylish setting. Housed in a building that includes a bowling alley and some 40 loft apartments, the cinema inside is almost guaranteed to overpower guests at first glance. For starters, there's room for 400 patrons, but with a multitude of leather couches, love seats and tables on the lower level (unique setups that any date will appreciate), rows of traditional stadium seating in the middle and balcony viewing in the back, you'll see that this is no ordinary motion picture-watching arrangement. Add barrel-vaulted ceilings, chandeliers and carpet, and you're helplessly rendered in awe of the surroundings -- and this is all before the 45-by-20-foot screen comes to life. Even if you're not in the mood for a movie, the full-service bar is a worthy destination for a night out. Or, bring your drinks inside the theater, settle into a leather couch and watch a movie. The bar opens one hour before the first show and closes an hour after. However, it stays open until 1AM on Fridays and Saturdays for some heavy post-movie mingling. And don't forget the bowling alley for the lane lovers.
