The Ziegfeld Theatre

Today’s go-to spot for high-profile New York City movie premieres (stand across the street to gawk at the red carpet and flashing bulbs on any given night), the Ziegfeld is a sprawling, beautiful former Broadway theater which opened in 1927—and where today, film lovers are able to catch either a first-run movie or a cinema classic. Don’t be surprised if you bump into Drew Barrymore or Hugh Grant in the lobby while you’re buying popcorn, as bold-faced names love this storied movie house (or shall we say movie mansion?) as much as the rest of us.
