In this sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man Peter Parker is struggling to juggle his personal life and his duty to the citizens of NYC. As a result of his relationship with on again off again girlfriend Gwen is suffering and failing miserably. In addition to all his teenage angst, he is only 18, he must also contend with a new threat: Electro, a ball of pure electric energy created by an industrial accident at Oscorp hell-bent on killing the Spider-Man.
In what should be one of the most joyous moments in the life of Nils Dickman as he receives the Citizen of the Year award in Norway as a Scandinavian immigrant turns into the worst as tragedy strikes him and his family. The loss of his son Ingvar to a drug overdose leads Nils, played by Stellan Skarsgård, to face withdrawal toward him from his wife and suicidal thoughts entering his mind in the subtitled film with the American name “In Order of Disappearance.” ( “Kraftidioten” is the Norweigen title.) It is at that moment when Nils discovers that his son was killed and this sets off a series of vengeful actions that many fathers would set upon if they learned the same thing.
Attendees of the Tribeca Film Festival arrived to a trendy new restaurant called China Blue (located at 135 Watts Street) late Sunday night for an after party for the film “In Your Eyes”, directed by Brin Hill and written by Joss Whedon, who also serves as executive producer. Some of the stars of the film, including Zoe Kazan and Michael Feuerstein as well as director Hill chatted with guests at the event while enjoying signature cocktails courtesy of Bombay Sapphire Gin.

The first drink I sampled was called Sapphire Peppered Peach Tea Collins, and is a fresh and exciting take on the classic Tom Collins cocktail. This refreshing drink, which is a great summertime drink to enjoy on a rooftop in New York City, included the original Bombay Sapphire with lemon juice, simple syrup, peach ice tea, club soda and a pinch of black pepper. The bar also featured complimentary Asahi beer, a popular Japanese brew for those who wanted to take it light on a Sunday night.
China Blue served food off of its menu and the biggest hit of the night was the Crystal Shrimp Dumplings, which seemed to disappear as soon as they emerged from the kitchen. The Shanghai Spring Rolls were also delicious, and I also enjoyed sampling the Scallion Pancakes.
When you have the opportunity, sit down and order a Gin and Tonic Reimagined with Bombay Sapphire East or try it neat or on the rocks. The drink and the gin itself are fresh takes on old classics, and, if you are in Tribeca, why not do it at China Blue over dinner or appetizers? It is a great way to enjoy an evening in New York City.
Always remember to drink responsibly!
Short films are one of my favorite parts of the Tribeca Film Festival. Every year the festival shows up with a new assortment of quirky interesting heart wrenching films for the film buff with the short attention span. Though I truly enjoy full length films its nice to get the whole story in under an hour. The schedule was jam packed with great shorts this year, here’s a few of our favorite stand outs:
