Real Butter On Your Popcorn In Rhinebeck
Most purists out there have learned from experience to stay away from the recycled motor oil that most movie theaters pawn off as butter for your popcorn. I’m not quite sure what that stuff is made of but it almost always leaves a nasty after-taste in your mouth that lasts for hours.
For those of you who adhere to tradition and seek real butter on your popcorn there is very little choice these days. Therefore, I’ll let you in on one of the Sojourner’s little secrets. You can still get real butter on your popcorn in the Hudson Valley.
Aside from a great array of alternative and classic films, Upstate Films in Rhinebeck still serves popcorn in its classic form. With real butter. Yes, it is an option, but you can get it.
You can check out their film schedule at http://www.upstatefilms.org/. You will have to go there in person to get your popcorn buttered.
Make sure to get there early and take in a bit of Rhinebeck. Upstate Films is located right in the middle of the village so you can walk out of their door and right into a classic Hudson Valley short walk village. It’s a well preserved village with lots of shops and history.
