From my blog:

The Angelika Film Center remains one of downtown Houston’s greatest gems. Conveniently located in Bayou City Center on Smith Street it is within walking distance from businesses in the “Skyline District” and downtown Houston hotels. Ample and well lit parking is available in the Theater District parking garage system. Valet parking is also available. The added bonus for patrons of Angelika Film Center is the reimbursement of the parking charge. Save your parking receipt and the box office will refund the cost of parking. (Be sure to hang on to it as some exits require the receipt) All screens at Angelika feature the same stadium seating and high-end sound systems you find in other Houston megaplexes. At one time Angelika featured a cafe and bar in their lobby, but this is no longer the case. At one time coffee and other beverages could be brought into the theater for further enjoyment.F I Ramirez, F I Ramirez, Dec 2008
