Five Things to Do in Collingswood This Week: 1/21/13 to 1/27/13
Another restaurant week kicks off, as does a still-life gallery opening. Plus: network your way to a free lunch, belt out the showtunes, and take in a free movie.
1. Homestyle Classics Restaurant Week
Monday, Jan. 21—Saturday, Jan. 26 at Casona, El Sitio, Pop Shop, That's Amore and Tortilla Press
Well, there's no Mac-Off this year (boo!—Ed.), but in lieu of that, five of Collingswood's homiest kitchens are collaborating to bring you a multi-course, prix fixe comfort-food jamboree. (For menu details, see Dave Valiante's column here.) It's not time to think about your beach figure for at least another two months, right?
2. Collingswood Movie Club
Tuesday, Jan. 22, 6-8 p.m.—Collingswood Public Library
Led by Patch film blogger Bob Castle, Collingswood Movie Night welcomes cinema fans of every stripe on the fourth Tuesday of the month at the Collingswood Library. Note the change in time. Get a brief introduction to the film, a fun chat after, and light refreshments. It's free!
Tuesday's showing is the "voodoo noir" film Angel Heart, starring Mickey Rourke.
