Get ready for a thrilling journey into the world of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, a power couple with a deep love for New York City and its vibrant culture.
In a recent interview, the dynamic duo opened up about their new movie, 'The Best You Can,' a project that marks their first on-screen collaboration in two decades. But it's not just about the film; it's about the city that inspired it and the unique pace of life it offers.
"New York has this incredible energy," Kyra shares. "You're always on the move, rushing from one place to another. It's in your blood as a New Yorker."
And what better way to experience the city's pulse than through its movie theaters? Kevin and Kyra, both avid film enthusiasts, shared their love for the silver screen and the magic of cinema.
"Growing up in New York during the 70s, a pivotal era for American cinema, going to the movies was an essential part of our lives," Kevin reminisces. "We make it a point to immerse ourselves in that experience, with popcorn in hand."
When it comes to their favorite theaters, the couple, married for an impressive 37 years, has a few go-to spots. They frequent the AMC 84th Street 6 and the New Plaza Cinema on 67th Street, both conveniently located in their Upper West Side neighborhood.
But their love for New York extends beyond the movies. The couple also enjoys the city's renowned restaurant scene, favoring intimate neighborhood gems like Gennaro and Tarallucci e Vino for their dining experiences.
However, Kyra does have a small gripe: "The Upper West Side could use more great restaurants!"
This comment serves as a friendly nudge to the city's culinary scene, a challenge to step up and cater to even the most discerning Hollywood palates.
