Yes, you may sight to yourself and think, “Why go to the movies when you’re in a city with so many museums and culture! Not to mention indie theaters.” Well, Arclight has you covered as it does include both culture and indie cinemas. It picks up lots of independent films, and you are treated to a makeshift art gallery both in the main lobby and upstairs and downstairs in the main areas before you go your assigned theater. 

 

What’s also really cool is that you can dress up or dress down here. You don’t look out of place in a fancy dress or jeans and boots. It’s really is an accepting, sophisticated atmosphere we’re all seem to be welcome. It attracts an eclectic mix of people for sure. I once stood in the popcorn line there behind Ryan Gosling when he was dating his lovely co-star from “The Notebook,” Rachel McAdams. 

 

The Arclight Cinemas also provides a charming cafe where the hostess will happily write the showtime of your movie down on a sheet that is put on your table. The waiter then can plan out the serving of your meal according to the time your movie starts. So, if you get there really early, you don’t have to worry about being rushed out the door well before showtime. The restaurant, like the theater, is anything goes as well so dress as your heart desires.
