Loews Wonder Theatres

Some movie palaces haven't been as lucky, namely the old Loew's Canal Theatre at 31 Canal Street. While it might now look like something better suited for Detroit (it shuttered in the late 1970s and is crumbling on the inside), the cinema was one of the most majestic when it opened in 1927. It was also where funnyman Jerry Stiller spent his Saturdays as a child, he told The New York Post in 2012. (Photo: )
