Director Kevin Smith not only still supports but headlines IFP’s 30th annual Independent Film Week, which features Kevin Smith tonight giving a talk about making a film on a tight budget along with his new film Zach and Miri Make a Porno. The rest of the week will see free films by CUNY grads, documentaries, short films, and more. Burger joint in the front, upscale lounge in the back, the menu at Pop Burger includes basics like 2 pop burgers for $5 for a quick fix or if your lounging, the likes of tuna tartar with soy truffle jus ($15). The Gaslight, a great hotspot bar in the meatpacking district, is dark and cozy while affordable for the area. If you don’t know Amy’s Bread, when you order a sandwich at a café or restaurant in the city, ask where they got the bread. There’s a good chance it’s from Amy’s because she’s one of the best bread makers in the city.
