Late last year, the operators of the Upper West Side’s beloved Lincoln Plaza Cinemas informed moviegoers that the theater would close after a 35-year run due to a rent hike. Despite a concerted push by locals to keep it open, the theater closed its doors for good in January this year. Just a week before, Landmark’s Sunshine Cinema, another cherished theater on the Lower East Side, also closed its doors; an office building will soon rise in its place.
