The Alamo Drafthouse is coming to New York! Why does that matter? Well, seeing a film at the Austin Alamo Drafthouse Theater is a unique experience. It's a hybrid film-watching/food-eating event. For example, they screen all three Lord of the Rings films while serving an eight-course meal (eaten at standard hobbit meal times). They also generated some publicity (and controversy) last year by publishing an angry voicemail from a customer who got kicked out for texting. They are deadly serious, unlike most theaters, when they say no texting. They'll open sometime in 2013, so get excited for drinking beer and eating something other than popcorn and Bunch-a-Crunch in theaters.
