Soup and salad, ham and cheese, rice and beans, peanut butter and jelly, dinner and a movie, all great combos. This Summer there are lots of opportunities to see a movie and get a bite to eat without going to a traditional theater. Here are my top picks around the Bay:
1. Charles Chocolates Summer Movie Series
On the patio at the Emeryville factory and store location you can see a movie and snack on caramel popcorn. Bring your own chair, couch or blanket and join the fun. On July 25th see Big Night, on August 8th it's Mostly Martha and August 22nd Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the Tim Burton version) Movies start at 8:30 and are FREE but please RSVP. Movies start at 8:30 pm. 6529 Hollis St. Emeryville
