Comcast/NBC Universal brought The Best Man Holiday screening to the Howard Theatre last week and I got to check it out. The scene equaled a very imitate setting with complimentary food consisting of sliders, lobster rolls, jerk chicken, ham sandwiches and three signature Ciroc Vodka drinks. The drinks were excellent! The chicken was seasoned with the perfect balance of spice and salt, and the sliders were very moist and flavorful. It was the right fit for the movie (*which could be a tear jerker at times) along with the complimentary popcorn and a candy stand of various sweets to enjoy the movie. Although we were packed to capacity in the venue, I was able to sit close to the stage and meet some nice people due to the proximity of our seating arrangements. I look forward to the next movie night at Howard Theatre!
