[1] The original Angelika Film Center & Café opened in New York City's NoHo neighborhood in 1989.

The New York Angelika, which is located at The Cable Building on the corner of Houston and Mercer Streets, is the flagship cinema.

The Angelika launched a blog where they post their own video and written interviews with directors and actors that are involved with the films they show.

[9] The Angelika Film Center is owned by Reading International and iDNA, Inc.[3] In Snowball Effect: The Story of Clerks (on the Clerks X DVD) Kevin Smith and Vincent Pereira recall attending movies at the Angelika (notably Richard Linklater's debut Slacker).

[citation needed] In November 2015, Shia LaBeouf invited the public to join him in the Cable Building location as he watched the 29 movies that feature him back-to-back.
