Alright, let's dive into the rollercoaster of emotions at the AMC movie theater in the Fashion District of Philadelphia.
First things first, let's talk convenience. Taking the high-speed line from South Jersey straight to the Fashion District sounds like a dream come true, right? No need to brave the elements - just hop off at the Eighth and Market stop and voila! You're right where you need to be. The theater itself? Absolutely stunning. Modern amenities, heated reclining seats, and even a handy tray table for your munchies - what's not to love?
But here's where the plot thickens. Picture this: a midweek escapade to catch a matinee, only to find yourself besieged by the relentless presence of aggressive homeless individuals at every turn. From the train platform to navigating through the Fashion District, it's a discomforting reality that casts a shadow over the entire experience.
And then, just when you think you've made it to the oasis of indoor dining, you're met with a series of perplexing encounters. A couple ahead of you in line, a baffling exchange, and strange looks that leave you scratching your head. When it's finally your turn to order, you're hit with the bombshell - the kitchen won't even start taking orders until after the Friars have warmed up? Talk about a plot twist straight out of a suspense thriller.
Undeterred, you resort to placing your order via phone, hoping for a culinary redemption. The verdict? Decent, but certainly not a bargain. Eighty bucks for a burger, an appetizer sampler, a large popcorn, and a couple of sodas - talk about sticker shock!
In the end, it's a mixed bag of an experience. The theater dazzles with its amenities, but the surrounding environment and the perplexing dining ordeal leave a bitter aftertaste. Will you be back? Doubtful, at least until the city gets its act together. Here's hoping for a sequel with a happier ending.
