Lots of movies. There may be too many kids at this location but if you are seeing something mature, you might not have to bother. Take the 2/5 to Borough Hall and walk down court street.

Great coffee. Good breakfast sandwiches. It's a little too kid-friendly to have a quiet morning with your paper, but it's definitely a step up from bodega coffee.

Excellent sushi. Decent sake selection. Tons of menu options but this place should just do sushi and sashimi. Keep it simple, it's bound to be costly.
