FINDING JOY
CATCH A FILM
T
he instant gratification of streaming video
may be great — but it can’t hold a candle
to the glamour of yesteryear’s theaters.
Baltimore has several historic cinemas
that have retained their classic charm. In
Station North, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway
Theatre (5 W. NORTH AVE.) combines its original Italianate
architecture, which was restored in an $18-million
renovation in 2016, with modern programming
that showcases a diverse selection of independent,
international, documentary, classic and cult-favorite films.
Find similarly historic chops at the Senator Theatre (5904
YORK RD.), an Art Deco landmark near Belvedere Square
that retains its original terrazzo flooring, sunburst decor
detailing, gold screen curtain, and a “Walk of Fame”
in the concrete outside the entrance. These days, the
Senator screens modern classics like “The Princess
Bride” and a small selection of new releases.
Two blocks north of Penn Station is The Charles Theatre
(1711 N. CHARLES ST.), which offers first-run specialty films,
plus foreign and classic cinema, all in a historic building
