The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Food: During a trip to Atlanta, Georgia, I could not miss an opportunity to visit Fox Bro’s BBQ which is arguably the best barbecue that exists. I got a pulled pork sandwich, with coleslaw, and an order of smoked wings with ranch. The meat is cooked perfectly – it nearly melts in your mouth –…

Rear Window (1954)
Food: After a couple of glasses of red wine on the roof to ring in the start of spring, the only reasonable follow up is a Seamless order of sushi and edamame. Alaska roll, Spicy Crunchy Tuna Roll, and a Salmon Avocado Roll from M&J Asian Cuisine was just the ticket. Film: Rear Window is…

The Beach Bum (2019)
Food: I had the pleasure of seeing this film at Alamo Drafthouse in Brooklyn. Though, we brought our own snacks in and came prepared – the theater presented us with a fun in-theme Beach Bum cocktail menu, which we could not refuse. However, the tequila drinks we ordered called 420 something or other, were $14…

To Die For (1995)
Food: Before this home viewing, I got to try a place I have wanted to go to for a while: Momofuku Noodle Bar. I got their homemade cider which not good at all and I do not recommend. The Tiger beer was the much better choice. The pork buns were delicious. The ramen was average.…

A History of Violence (2005)
Food: Nothing like raw fish to put you in the mood for a violent film. Kumo Sushi is right around the corner for me, so it was definitely the move for the night. My go-to is the Alaska roll which includes salmon and avocado. I got an order of that, as well as the peanut…

Swingers (1996)
Food: It was a Tuesday, and despite the snowy weather, tacos were meant to be had. On St. Marks (in the East Village) stands an underappreciated Mexican restaurant called La Palapa which provides $5 frozen (and non-frozen) margaritas every week and has delicious Mexican food options as well. I got a regular frozen margarita with…

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? (2018)
Food: I know my meals are becoming quite redundant, because it’s been a lot of morning movies – but I’ll try to mix it up for next time. During this feature, though, I made an egg sandwich. This involves toasting two slices of bread, cooking an egg over easy, and adding butter and a slice…

Vivre Sa Vie (1962)
Food: In the interest of maintaining my appetite for the brunch that was to follow this viewing, I only brought coffee to the movie itself. Brunch afterward consisted of delicious avocado toast with a side of two eggs (scrambled & with sriracha). The table shared pita and hummus. I also ordered a mimosa. I definitely…

Contempt (1963)
Food: What is better on a Sunday morning than leftovers from Saturdays brunch (eggs, turkey bacon, Belgian waffle) and fresh cappuccino courtesy of Saltwater Cafe in the East Village. I enjoyed this with my friend visiting town from D.C. as we snuggled up under a pound of blankets. Film: The best way I could describe…

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
Food: Is it too on the nose that I enjoyed some leftover Chinese food while watching this on a Saturday morning in my apartment? Sorry, not sorry. It was delicious. Film: Where to start? This film is so grandiose in every sense, it is shocking that it did not originally come from the pages of…

A Woman is a Woman (1961)
Screened on 35mm at IFC Center as part of the “Early Godard” winter film series. Food: It was an 11:00 am Sunday morning movie, so delicious breakfast food and coffee was a non-negotiable. Intended on getting a breakfast burrito from a East Village Tex-Mex spot, but arrived only to remember that I had lost my debit…

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)
Food: Enjoyed a hot toddy, called ‘Some Like It Hot’ – complete with bourbon, prickly pear, and lemon – courtesy of cozy indie theater in the Lower East Side called Metrograph. Film: Directed by Jacques Demy, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a melodrama which is actually an opera – seeing that every piece of dialogue…
