Screen on the Green Upper Street
This isn’t your multiplex with sticky floors and overpriced popcorn. The Screen On The Green is an intimate, two-screen venue that has been a local staple since 1913, making it one of the oldest picture houses in the city. Walking in feels like stepping into a carefully curated living room, complete with velvet seats and a palpable sense of community.
Forget the blockbuster cacophony; the programming here leans towards smart, independent films, polished documentaries, and the occasional cult classic revival. It’s the perfect spot for a first date where you actually want to talk about the movie afterward, or a solo escape from the noise of your to-do list.
Fun fact: The building originally included a shop on the ground floor, which was converted into the second screen you see today. That little bit of architectural patchwork is part of its scrappy, endearing personality.
