In collaboration with GKIDS, Castles in the Sky: Miyazaki, Takahata & the Masters of Studio Ghibli presents this comprehensive retrospective of films from Japan’s famed Studio Ghibli animation house. Don’t miss your chance to see some of the greatest films of all time on new 35mm prints, including such favorites as MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO, CASTLE IN THE SKY, and SPIRITED AWAY, as well as rare films like ONLY YESTERDAY and OCEAN WAVES. Most films will be presented in both subtitled and English dubbed versions. One of the best affordable Vietnamese restaurants in the city, Nha Trang is right near the downtown courthouse, making it a high volume place. Despite that, the food is great and the Pho (rice noodle soup) dishes are $5 and under. Named after William S. Burroughs novel, Naked Lunch is a cool and comfortable bar where local artists usually gather. No shooting up though! One of the best taqueria’s in the city, the Mexican food at La Esquina is authentic and to die for. While tacos will set you back $3, plates are in the $6 to $7.25 range.
