Ziegfeld Theater, New York, N.Y.

Named for Broadway impresario Florenz Ziegfeld, this razed-and-rebuilt theater is as luxurious as its namesake's lifestyle. Originally built at the corner of Sixth Ave. and 54th St. in 1929, the theater was torn down in 1966 and reconstructed several hundred feet away in 1969. The gilded single-screen theater, also the venue for many New York movie premiers, can now welcome nearly 1,200 moviegoers to relax in its red velvet-covered seats and enjoy both first-run flicks and beloved classics like "Blade Runner" and "Back to the Future."
