Moviegoers at the Village East Cinema
located on 181 Second Avenue at the corner of East 12th Street may be
surprised to learn that they are visiting a recently restored New York
City designated landmark. The Village East Cinema has a fascinating
history as one of the last surviving “Yiddish Rialto” theaters along
Second Avenue in the East Village. Today, the cinema is known for
premiering many independent films and an eclectic mix of art and
commercial releases. The theater’s most significant visual aspect,
however, is its main auditorium’s ornate and colorful ceiling, which is
regarded as having one of the most remarkable works of plaster
craftsmanship displays in New York City.
