Optimistically, Alamo has already come out with a menu (52 beers strong) for the three planned New York locations, which include Yonkers and Downtown Brooklyn, and they're known for offering special meals themed around the films being screened. Though it's later than expected, the overhauled UWS cinema is set to open next year. [WSR; previously]
