If I lived in the neighborhood, or was heading to or from a movie, I could see Pivo being a good meet up spot. Big screen TVs scream "Watch sports on me," good looking staff, dark, comfy-ish furniture, it's reminds me of a smaller Milestones.

"For the Love of Medina"

Oh your lavender latte was unexpectedly lovely
But your raspberry version took my breath away...

The murmurings of those sipping and chatting
Melted me into my chair while my heart fell for
The waffles, of which I

Outside of the fact that I forgot to save room for popcorn, I'd say East meets most of my criteria for pre-film dining.
