The best theatre in New York City - the Carnegie Hall of film - has been shut down after a 46-year run, ending with Thursday’s 10 p.m. screening of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

The Gothamist has pictures:

The landlord will be turning the Ziegfeld into a high-end ballroom, because hedge fund managers need a place to dance.

I took a long lunch-break last Thursday and caught the matinee, my third TFA viewing. There was a long line and a lot of NYers there to say goodbye. Pretty sad.

I guess there’s a shortage of ritzy ballrooms for the Wall Street crowd to cavort with ladies of the evening, while blowing our retirement funds? 😉
