Ideas for the RKO Theater Property

The theater closed in January of 2006.

Rockville Centre Mayor Francis Murray announced last week that the RKO Twin Theater will finally be replaced on Sunrise Highway.

Murray said in his "State of the Village" address that "A new family restaurant called 'Bonefish' is planned for that location."

While the restaurant may be planned for the location, nothing -- other than the theater's removal -- has been confirmed within the village at this time.

RVC resident took to the Rockville Centre Patch Facebook page Wednesday to discuss potential ideas for the location. Among the ideas mentioned were a brewery with a beer garden on the roof, an upscale comedy club and a performing arts center.

Multiple residents also complained about parking in the area and even suggested that a parking structure should be considered for the property.
