Ambient City Lounge [ECD] - Fly

Trees Lounge

Advantages: Great acting
Disadvantages: Abit depressing but with lighter parts

This Steve Buschemi's debut as writer and director. Made in 1996 it is a relatively unknown film but was a critcal if not commercial succes for Buschemi The film is about an alcoholic named Tommy (Steve Bushemi), the film starts and he is trying to wangle one more drink out of the barmaid 15 minutes after 'time'. The barmaid Connie(played by Carol Kane - Hester Street, Taxi) is obviously familiar and serves him with Tommy, which is an interesting tenet to the film as everyone knows everyone in this small suburb and everyone knows Tommy and he seems to recoil from it in shame. The bar 'Trees Lounge' is always populated by Tommy, an elderly alcoholic Bobby and another successful alcoholic Mike (Mark Boone Junior - Batman Begins, Lonesome Jim) Tommy starts to form a friendship with Mike thinks he is a looser. Mike is a strange character ...

Review of Trees Lounge (DVD)

The Departure Lounge Cafe

Advantages: Lovely rural location, easy to get to, great food and pleasant staff.
Disadvantages: Does not take credit or debit cards and no Stella!

There is a large container at the back of the café full of chunky and unbreakable plastic knives, forks and spoons in this most vibrant of colours. Just help yourself. The plate mats inside the cafe are what you would find in an aeroplane, the instructions on what to do in an emergency, laminated. For a nervous traveller who has yet to fly, I would recommend you turn this over. *** THE PLANE *** Not only is the café designed to look like a departure lounge with its red, white and blue patriotic colours, its secret lies in the garden.

Review of The Departure Lounge Cafe

Curry, but no lounging!

Advantages: Stylish
Disadvantages: We felt rushed, small portions of popadoms and naan

I found myself in Nottingham at on New Years Eve 2007 and, at the suggestion of a chum who is a big Gordon Ramsay fan, we went to a restaurant that the foul-mouthed chef had worked his magic on in his 'Kitchen Nightmares' TV show - Curry Lounge. I must admit I was a little unsure whether I actually wanted to visit a place that was in enough of a mess that Ramsay had to sort it out, but I assumed that it would probably be fine after he'd finished with it. Besides, it was good enough to win second place in the curry of the year (for Nottingham, I think) beforehand, so it should be pretty good, I thought... THE LOCATION Curry lounge can be found at 110 Upper Parliament Street, 2 or 3 minutes walk from the tram stop in Nottingham town centre. It's worth looking up the location yourself online, or at least make sure that the friend ...
