There is a significantly nicer El Pollo Loco over on Lincoln and Pico if you want to drive another five minutes down but if you are in a pinch and want decent enough food for cheap, this works.
Don't be fooled by those animal style, 4x4 loving weirdos, the best secret menu item is the Neopolitan Shake!
a comparatively cheap, greasy, Greek style pie which is unique enough try. Your parents and grandparents probably loved this place if you grew up in Stamford. Iconic in that regard.
One of my favorite movie theaters, does a lot of cool screenings many of which with the director doing a Q&A afterwards. If you can't go out, many of their films are streaming simultaneously on VOD
Their Cult Classics screenings are always a good time, they usually give away posters and have trivia questions before the movie starts. Their vintage trailers tend to repeat from time to time.
I always make a stop by this place whenever I'm in the area. Such a charming oddity with its rom com heritage on every inch of the walls. Some nods to Mystic native screenwriter Jason Filardi as well!
Movies will very rarely sell out on the Optimum Rewards free tuesday. 3D films cost an extra $3.50 a ticket and are often projected on an area much smaller than the actual screen. A lot of trailers.
One of the essential places to visit if you love illustration, Tim Burton or German Expressionism. Place has a lot of charm, cross-hatched drawings and a really friendly old fat cat on a diet.
you know how Disney World tries to call themselves the "Happiest Place on Earth"? that is a total lie, NO PLACE IS HAPPIER THAN GO GO CURRY. Order on the 5th, 15th or 25th for a free topping coupon
One of my favorite cheap eats in New York City, decor has a weird mix between traditional Japanese art and baseball. Order a Grand Slam Curry and split it, really great food and unlike anything else.
a cute date spot, don't miss the the milk shakes and malts. Burgers are okay, bun to meat ratio is off. If you come hear during December they play It's a Wonderful Life on the TV, it's a nice touch.
