92nd Street Y Offers Dinner and Some Movies

Charlie Chaplin

We'll have what the little tramp is having.

Film and food go hand in hand — from the meal that prompted Scarface to ask “Is this it?” to Seth in Superbad ruminating that all the best foods are shaped like…well, you get the idea. We have no idea whether food historian Francine Segan will serve Popsicles or “the best roast beef” (as Scarface's original script had it) at her 92nd Street Y event, “Food in Film,” but you’re likely to come out of it well fed and culturally enlightened.

Michael Rankin of Diner: ‘I Think That Guy’s McLovin — You Should Card Him’

Yesterday we caught wind that Christopher Mintz-Plasse, the actor who played McLovin in Superbad, was at Diner on Friday night.

As jaded as we are from combing through gossip columns for our weekly Celebrity Settings feature, there are certain celebs we’d give our middle nut to spot. Case in point: Friday night a friend texted us that she saw Christopher Mintz-Plasse, better known as McLovin from Superbad, leaving Diner in Williamsburg — presumably after eating a “sexy hamburger.” No word as to whether he attempted to purchase a drink with a Hawaiian I.D. (somehow the bartender hadn’t seen Superbad), but it’s good to see McLovin is keeping it low-key despite the mounting Oscar buzz.
