Announcing the kick-off event to the new 2024 joint public program series co-presented by Village Preservation and the Salmagundi Club Library Committee. 

The first in the series will be the screening of the film Maggie’s Plan, the acclaimed 2015 romantic comedy. Much of it was shot in Greenwich Village, very near the Salmagundi clubhouse. Starring Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke, Julianne Moore, Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph, Travis Fimmel, written and directed by Rebecca Miller based on an original story by Karen Rinaldi (later published as the 2017 novel The End of Men). Approx 100 minutes.

What the critics say:
Rotten Tomatoes (86% rating): “With a typically absorbing performance from Greta Gerwig leading the way, Maggie’s Plan gives rom-com sensibilities a smart, subversive twist.“

Variety’s Dennis Harvey: “Greta Gerwig, Ethan Hawke, and Julianne Moore making a pleasing triangle in Rebecca Miller’s offbeat romantic comedy.“

Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair: “a smart, goofy delight”, praising the cast as being in “near-perfect harmony, creating a lively, inviting hum.”

Free popcorn provided. Drinks available at the Wiggins Bar.

All attendees are invited to enjoy dinner afterward in the Club Restaurant – advance reservations are strongly suggested. Reservations can be made by visiting Salmagundi.org/reservations.

*Please note that for non-Salmagundi Club members the restaurant and bar are credit card ONLY, cash will not be accepted.
