If you're a fan of felines, get your caffeine fix AND some cat time in at this great place, just a short walk away! If you live somewhat local, you might even end up adopting a friend to take home with you at the end of your stay :)

Gorgeous art deco theater. If you're lucky enough to be here when they're showing a classic movie (for $8), hosting a big performance, or running a public tour (1st & 3rd Saturdays each month, just $5), don't miss it.

Community staple, second-run theater where you can have your food & drinks delivered to you at your couch (or other comfy living-room-like viewing situation). We <3 the New Parkway.

We're spoiled for historic indie theaters here. An Oakland institution & THE place to see a big movie (or any other first-run film) opening weekend. In the main auditorium on Friday & Saturday evenings, you'll also enjoy live Mighty Wurlitzer Organ playing (on a keyboard that magically rises out of, then sinks below, the stage) pre-show!
