It was a beautiful day here in New York City, the first day of press screenings for myself and NAICA contributing writer Logan Green at the TRIBECA Flm Festival. Sitting in a dark theater on a beautiful sunny day may seem like a waste to most, but we love film, so it was ideal for us. We also walked around quite a lot since we have a hard time deciding on restaurants and, well, I also forgot the location of an industry party we were to attend, and, so, we needlessly left the E. Village and then had to buy our own drinks. This caused a great deal of standing around trying to decide on a cheap place to drink and/or whether to walk back to the Village and drink at one of our many drinking establishments that we like to drink in. That sucked. But it was a lovely evening so we strolled from Union Square through Washington Park and over to SoHo for dinner (and drinks) at the Nolita House.
Nolita House is a meat and cheese lovers paradise. Logan is a vegan. I myself try to stay away from copious amounts of meat. Their idea of a dinner special? I just have to relate this: A chicken breast wrapped in bacon stuffed with lamb sausage and cranberries and a side of garlic taters!
Blech! Anyway a few notes about this year’s festival: 2. They have assigned press and industry screenings to two theaters one block away from each other making it infinitely easier to get to multiple screenings in one day. 3. The theaters are located in my beloved East Village where some of my favorite restaurants and bars are located! YAY! 4. The staff is way nicer and more organized than last year. 5. Everything is better than last year. Today we saw two films which e review at length in the podcast attached below. I warn you, there are spoliers, but trust me when I write, one of the films was a spoiler from the very first frame. Have at’er! Check back daily for more reviews, possible interviews, and photos galore. Ciao darlings! P.S. Neither NAICA, Inc nor it’s subsidiaries condone reckless imbibement but this is the NYC and we are adults. Drink responsibly!
