Alamo Drafthouse Cinema
The movie is 137 minutes long, giving you plenty of time to chow down on menu specials while you watch the action on the big screen. On-theme eats include a Pink & Green Pizza with tomato cream and spinach pesto sauces. Make it a Go For Good by adding broccoli and red peppers, or Make It Wicked with pepperoni and sausage. Alternately, tuck into a Good-Wich, a chicken pita sammie. Drink options include the Green Elixir, a shimmering mix of coconut rum, melon, pineapple and lime, or the Kahlua Twister, a boozy milkshake that doubles as dessert. 1660 Crystal Drive, Arlington (National Landing)
