This snazzy theater offers huge overstuffed reclining armchairs, some of which are side by side with an armrest that you can pull up to create a love-seat size couch for you and your honey. It costs a little bit more than a regular movie theater ticket, but we think it is worth it. Be sure to buy your ticket ahead of time online so you can pick your seat!
