The Loew's Wonder Theatres were the five flagship movie palaces of the Loew's Theatres chain in New York City. These five lavishly designed theaters were built by Loew's to establish its preeminence in film exhibition in the metropolitan New York City area. All five theaters are still standing.[1] One operates as a community performing arts center; one is a commercial live entertainment venue; two are currently used as churches; and one stands closed but is scheduled soon for restoration.
