JEANCOCTEAUCINEMA
Featuring an elegant curve of art deco glass
bricks set into an adobe facade, it’s easy
to see why this quirky little cinema caught
the eye of resident George R. R. Martin.
In between writing
Game of Thrones
, he
restored the single-screen cinema to its
former glory, reopening it to the public in
2013. There’s now a four-seat VIP booth,
a fully licensed bar, author readings and
livemusic, alongwith a store selling signed
books from authors such as Junot Díaz and
Lisa See. Naturally,
Thrones
fans can also
snare signed copies ofMartin’s cult works.
