Film and Theatre Lover!
I promise that this is my very last post about my New York trip (honestly) it might just stem some film related posts though, but don’t worry I still have a few film/tv related photos to share. Some of them are from knowledge gained on the On Location Central Park and/or Bus Tour.

Ellen’s Stardust Diner
I had been told about this place a lot before going on the trip as the waiters all take turns to sing in the one of a kind diner. So naturally it was on the list of places to go to, we ended up going twice as well. Both times for breakfast, didn’t have to queue early on in the morning which as a bonus, as well as the food being fantastic and the entertainment even better.
After seeing Joy last week and then catching Jennifer on the Graham Norton show it inspired me to do this blog post. She comes across so cool and that she does not have a care in the world on a chat show and has already played some great characters in film! At the age of 25 she already has an Oscar win to her name for Silver Linings Playbook as well as two other nominations for Winter’s Bone and American Hustle.
Here is a very first for Let’s Go To The Movies, a blog post about a restaurant. But have no fear this is very very VERY movie related so do not worry about that. I made my first visit to a Bubba Gump Shrimp Co Restaurant on Friday while in London, this is currently the only one in the UK as well.
In the last month or so of my cinema visits I have found myself getting popcorn quite a lot, something I seem to go through phases with when going to the cinema. This got me thinking after seeing Iron Man 3 for the second time this week that some films are very good when eating popcorn, Iron Man 3 is one of those films because it is a noisy film and you can get away with making a little bit more noise than usual which is something that happens when your eating popcorn.
We all know that when we visit the cinema we do not have much choice when it comes to which snacks to buy. But the first one I am going to talk about on my blog is the Hot Dog.
A snack which I occasionally buy, usually if I have not had much else to eat as find them rather filling . . . especially when they now have a foot-long hot dog at Cineworld. They really do have to be the best hot dogs you can get. One major problem though has to be the price, they are not cheap at all.
With Cineworld being my local cinema and having my Unlimited pass I have not actually tried a hot dog from any other cinema chain. (So I have no idea if they supply the same hot dogs or they are different). I do know that Westler seem to be the biggest hot dog supplier.
If you want a hot dog it will probably set you back around £4 or maybe about £8/£9 if you opt for a combo with two drinks. Or a combo with one drink about £6. Luckily my Cineworld has been giving us 30% off for being Unlimited Card holders for the past few months which is a brilliant saving!
Do you ever opt for a cinema Hot Dog?
