We’ve rounded up our top picks for five-star popcorn at bars and restaurants throughout the city.
But first we have to tip our hat to the Ritz Movie Theaters for their amazing movie-theater popcorn — it’s popped in canola and coconut oil, and then drizzled with plenty of real butter rather than the fake stuff.
However, this list is about finding some newer takes on the classic snack at the city’s restaurants and bars — from bacon-grease popped kernels to organic cheddar and horseradish popcorn.
