Where to test DCP?

I recently made a DCP version of my film for a film festival and wanted to test it somewhere local - anyone have luck with movie theaters and the like? Where does one go to test DCP?
I should say that I did the DCP myself using OpenDCP. I did a 15 second test using easyDCP Player and it seemed ok but I'm not gonna feel good about it till I see it playing off a digital cinema server on a proper digital projector. I'm in NJ but NY would work fine as well.

For those interested, more info about the film here: www.stateless.us

Thanks!

mods - please move this if this is not the right place for it

Some theaters, and chains do have 'event' rates to rent a theater. I don't know if they would have a 'test your media' option but it would probably be contingent on leaving a deposit for the event.

In NYC there may be post houses which have some form of theater and attendant rental.

There's always the tried and true 'find a buddy that manages a theater'...

Don't know if there is any service that would analyze your package for conformance, which may not be as satisfying as seeing it on the screen, but may eliminate questions regarding the format of the content/hierarchy...
