Hi,
I would say: Between the restaurant and the cinema there are two toy shops. You are not taling about just any restaurant and cinema but rather a specific restaurant, THE restaurant next to the toy shops, same for the cineama and also for the sentence after:
Between the library and the station there is a big park.
There are probably lots of expalnations here on the site, also google gives a lot of articles on the subject. Here is one of them;
Hope this helps.. |

I would add just one thing to Marion �s excellent answer. Generally, we don �t say just "a station", but tell what kind of station it is - police station, radio station, bus station, etc.
