AMC Fresh Meadows 7

Fresh Meadows keeps a low skyline but high foot traffic, and tucked behind a shopping strip sits one of the few places you can still catch a movie without signing up for yet another streaming service. AMC Fresh Meadows 7 is a real-deal movie theater right where Horace Harding meets the Exit 23 cluster: 190-02 Horace Harding Expy, Fresh Meadows, NY 11365.

Seven screens roll out big pictures in 2D and 3D, and the food line has popcorn, candy, and entrees that beat eating straight from a couch tray. Kids’ matinees run on weekends, and active-duty military walk up with discounts that actually save a few bucks. Your phone rings one ring away at (718) 447-6767, and the quickest way to plot your route is to pull up the map: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c26051c741f153:0xc43a460e9af755b4.
