Marquee NY - from our story 'New York 1982 / 1983: Before Big Money Buried The City’s Character'

This is St. Marks Cinema in Manhattan’s East Village, on the corner of St. Marks Place and Second Avenue. In the 1980’s the cinema showed films at discount prices and would run double bills and midnight screenings. When I took this photograph the 1979 romantic comedy “Chilly Scenes of Winter” and the 1981 thriller “Cutter's Way“ were showing, as well a midnight screening of “Bloopers”. St. Marks Cinema is now Cohen's Fashion Optical with the Theatre Condos above. St. Marks Cinema 133 Second Avenue (near St. Mark's Place) New York NY 10003
