City Cinemas 1, 2 & 3

 I love the City Cinemas 1, 2 & 3 for a number of reasons:

• It's easy for me to get to.
• It shows a good mix of indie, foreign, and blockbuster movies.
• It has an older clientele, though the Lincoln Plaza Cinema on the Upper West Side wins for most "mature" audience, with the Paris Theatre nipping at City Cinemas' heels.
• And then there's that painting of Brooke Shields in the lobby. Does anyone know the provenance of this work of art?

According to this website, City Cinemas 1, 2 & 3 has been around since 1962 and shared the block with another popular cinema, the Baronet & Coronet. City Cinemas 1, 2 & 3 even makes a very brief cameo in the 1969 film John and Mary, starring Mia Farrow and Dustin Hoffman.
