GUARANTEED!
Every year, millions of people try to quit smoking, and every year, millions fail. Smokers
try nicotine patches, inhalers, nasal spray, and gum to kick the habit. Some try quitting
cold turkey. Most will quit two or three times and return to the habit before quitting again
permanently. According to the Centers for Disease Control, most relapses occur within the
first three months.
Auriculotherapy treatment balances brain chemicals, that when out of balance, can
lead to addictions. The treatment is easy and cost effective, and could soon change the way we
treat smoking addictions. By tapping into certain points through he ear to the brain, chemicals
are balanced and cravings vanish immediately. One, pain free treatment is all that is usually
needed. Once you have the motivation, auriculotherapy can offer what willpower cannot -
PERMANENT SUCCESS!

It’s show time!
Nitehawk Cinema bigwigs
are opening the historic Pavilion
Theater they’ve been
renovating for years on Dec.
16 to members of a Park Slope
civic group, who will screen
the movie house’s debut fl ick
ahead of its looming grand
opening to the public.
The exclusive sneak peek at
the long-awaited theater is Nitehawk
brass’s way of giving
back to members of the 14th
Street Block Association, who
had to share their residential
street between Eighth Avenue
and Prospect Park West with a
steady stream of construction
vehicles since renovations of
the 90-year-old movie house
nearby began in 2016, according
to a local gadfl y in on the
invitation.
“They had problems with
the 14th Street Block Association
and so they want to pander
them,” said Tom Prendergast,
a Windsor Terrace
resident who said he is the
only non-Block Association
member privy to the group’s
weekly newsletter, which advertised
tickets for the special
screening in an edition sent
on Tuesday morning.
The invite-only event will
serve as a test run for the cinema’s
new staff, according to
a rep, who said Nitehawk bigwigs
want to iron out any operational
kinks as they make
fi nishing touches to the theater
they plan to open to all
Brooklynites “very soon.”
“The upcoming private occasion
is simply an opportunity
for our team to hone service
techniques and perfect
how we provide our enhanced
experience,” said Ashton Pina.
“As we fi nalize our newest outpost,
the entire Nitehawk team
would like to thank the community
for their patience.”
Still, news of the private
screening will likely come as
a relief to many local cinephiles,
especially those who lost
their chance to glimpse the
restored Pavilion when Nitehawk
quietly canceled what
would have been the spot’s debut
screening there last month
due to construction issues.
Nitehawk owner Matthew
Viragh began making over
the dilapidated movie house
— which opened as the Sanders
Theater in 1928, and reportedly
suffered a blockbuster
bed-bug infestation a
few years before it closed for
renovations — after leasing
the spot from investors who
in 2016 bought it for $28 million
from developer Hidrock
Properties, after the builder
abandoned plans to build condos
and a new cinema on the
Pavilion’s Prospect Park West
lot.
Viragh originally planned
to unveil the newly renovated
theater, now called Nitehawk
Prospect Park, in early 2018.
But the movie man later
postponed the cinema’s debut
to this winter when workers
discovered long-lost architectural
elements from its early
days amid their transformation
of the space .
