Table Hopping readers chose the 1996 film ?Big Night? to be screened at Cinema Under the Stars, a fundraiser for the Times Union Hope Fund that is being held the evening of Tuesday, Aug. 14, at Taste restaurant in downtown Albany. (The rain date is Aug. 21.)
Seating for dinner and cocktails begins at 5 p.m. There will be movie-themed food and drink specials. The screening, to be held on Taste?s rear terrace, will begin at approximately 8 p.m. Ruth Fantasia, the Times Union?s former food editor and dining critic, and I will be guest bartenders.
?Big Night,? co-written and co-directed by co-star Stanley Tucci, tells the story of a pair of immigrant brothers who open an Italian restaurant in New Jersey in the 1950s.
Admission to the movie is $5, and screening reservations are required; make them here. A portion of the proceeds from the evening will go to the Hope Fund, which works to provide philanthropic support to Capital Region after-school and summer programs.
I have a pair of tickets to give away for the screening. To enter the random drawing, answer the following question in the form of a comment below: ?Big Night? has as its culinary centerpiece the baked pasta dish called timpano. When you entertain, what?s your favorite show-off Italian dish with which to seriously impress guests? The deadline to win tickets is 5 p.m. Wednesday (8/1). The deadline to register for the event is Friday, Aug. 10.
Taste is located at 30 Beaver St. Call 694-3322 for dinner reservations.
