New to Pittsburgh and the first thing I had to do was scope out all the theaters! This weekend was a visit to the Manor! So let's start:
Location: Lovely Squirrel Hill and it just fits in perfectly with the charming neighborhood and wide variety of dining options from across the world.
Ambiance: Loved the classic look and feel of the venue. Walking in, I could just imagine this place being used decades ago as the premiere spot in Pittsburgh for movie premieres with the long red carpet rolled out.
Food: Largest menu I've ever seen at a theater! Not only was the variety outstanding, but their popcorn might be the cheapest in town! Didn't have a chance to try out the food, but looking forward to making it a meal next time!
Drinks: Alcohol... and plenty (along with daily specials!). Automatic win in my books.
Screening Rooms: Here's where the great and bad come into play. I was ecstatic to see digital projection in room #4. The image was super crisp from the get-go and the colours were vibrant (unlike the case at many other theatres). The digital projection greatly enhanced the experience. The seats were also super comfy and reclined just perfectly! The bad? I have to admit I love Stadium Seating. I was lucky in that the place wasn't crowded, but your view is automatically blocked (if only just a little) the second someone sits in front of you.
I love this place and can't wait to go back for their amazing selection of hard-to-find film and great movie-going experience!
