If you ask us, one of the best ways to enjoy Movies on the Block is to make a night of it and do dinner at Tazza Caffe. You can enjoy a pre-movie dinner, take advantage of their outdoor seating or even order food to-go, making sure you have a front row seat to tonight’s movie. Stop by Tazza at 250 Westminster Street.

We’re kicking off the last month of the Movies on the Block series with The Usual Suspects. A boat has been destroyed, criminals are dead, and the key to this mystery lies with the only survivor and his twisted, convoluted story beginning with five career crooks in a seemingly random police lineup. Come on over to Grants Block at dusk this Thursday for a movie under the stars. Grab dinner and drinks at Tazza first or bring your own snacks to enjoy.
