iPic Theaters in the historic area at the Seaport will add to the exciting transformation of the adjacent Pier 17 into one of New York’s most vibrant destinations. The new Pier 17 will be highlighted by a one-and-a-half-acre rooftop that will include a world-class restaurant, two outdoor bars and an amphitheater capable of holding up to 4,000 people for concerts and special events. The design of the new Pier 17 building draws from the site’s history as a bustling marketplace and renowned maritime port with the goal of creating an unmatched New York experience with unparalleled waterfront access that is compelling to locals and tourists.
iPic guests can expect a superior movie-going experience while enjoying luxury seating and iPic’s chef-driven, in-theater dining concept, Tanzy Express. Premium seat ticketholders can relax in large, plush leather seats and may purchase food and beverage from Tanzy Express and carry it into the theater to enjoy at their seats.
