IPIC theaters should be next on your list for a date night whether it’s with a friend or lover! It is located on 11 Fulton Streetin NYC. This business is uniquely established because it is not your usual AMC movie theater. IPIC is a dine-in movie theater that offers a full bar and food menu.  

It is a luxurious experience from the moment you walk in. Once you walk in the lobby it is lavishly furnished and the employees are all polite and greet you with smiles. Before the movie starts you go upstairs where you find a full bar, and a concession bar filled with different candies and snacks. 

Walking into the room where the movie will be played, the room will give you a cozy, warm feeling. The layout of the room is unordinary. There are pods where two people sit and also has a wall surrounding the seats giving the viewers privacy, which is a part of the premium plus seats. They also offer standard seating which does not have walls. 

There is also a table in front connecting both leather reclining chairs where you will find a QR code for the menu. The menu has a variety of options to choose from. For example, guiltless pleasure items that include spicy tuna lettuce cups, chicken skewers, loaded tater tots, and even crispy calamari. For the main course, they offer plates such as buttermilk fried chicken which is divine! The menu also includes chicken and red velvet waffles, fajita quesadillas and more. They also carry dessert for chocolate and ice cream lovers. It also wouldn’t be a movie theater if they didn’t have popcorn and candy! 

But how do you order anything off the menu? To order anything off the menu, all you need to do is press the button on the table in front of you. A light will go on to grab the wait staff’s attention without distracting anyone and they will come to you discreetly to fulfill your needs. Anything you order will come in a quick amount of time. It does not take long, and well worth the wait. 

In this establishment you won’t have to leave the room and miss a part of the movie to get more soda or popcorn because here they will bring it to you. 

This experience was amazing and unlike anything i ever experienced before. The customer service was exceptional, as well as the food. Laying down on the leather seats with a blanket will make you feel at home. Not only is this place great for date night, but it is also kid friendly as they offer a kids menu as well. 

There are currently 14 operating IPIC movie theaters and seven of them include a luxury restaurant. It is highly recommended to order tickets online before walking in. Seats and shows are usually sold out most of the time. 

If you happen to lose your ticket or can’t locate the email, they are able to pull it up and print the ticket out for you! This theater offers an elevated entertainment experience for those who love watching or going to the movies, and I would definitely recommend going to the closest IPIC theater soon!
