Just about every theater in NYC offers at least some open captions (on-screen subtitles). So here's some tips on finding the screenings.

Alamo Drafthouse: Select a movie, any movie. Then under Showtimes, the menu includes 'Open Caption" as an option.

AMC: The best way to find the open caption screenings is to filter for "Open caption (on screen subtitles)" using the "Premium Offerings" dropdown.

Angelika: Lists Open Caption under its Showtimes dropdown, if that location has open captions. This takes you to a filtered version of their movie listings that includes open captions.

iPic: check listings. Will have (Open Caption) next to movie title.

Regal: To find the open caption screenings, either look for (Open Cap/Eng Sub) next to a movie's title, or use the "Choose a screening type" dropdown and select "Open Captioned" when it is included in the choices.

Showcase: Check listings for (Open Caption) in the movie title. Also has an open caption page at https://www.showcasecinemas.com/open-captioning.

Thanks for the awesome info! It should also be noted that at least in most AMC theaters you can ask for one of those captioning machines that sticks into the cup holder. Sometimes they don't work very well, and it can be a pain to find someone to get them for you at the customer service desk, but it is an option!
