Attendees must bring cash to settle their restaurant bill, as some places won’t provide individual checks for large groups. When this happens, it can be difficult to settle the bill if some people are using credit cards while others are paying with cash.

Midnight Cowboy (Best Picture, 1969)
Directed by John Schlesinger
Starring Jon Voight, Dustin Hoffman, Sylvia Miles

Winner of 3 Oscars, Midnight Cowboy is set against the gritty backdrop of Times Square in the early 1970s. It tells a touching and unforgettable story, featuring some of the finest performances in film history.

Dustin Hoffman delivers a remarkable performance as Enrico “Ratso” Rizzo, a streetwise, crippled con man. Equally compelling is Jon Voight as Joe Buck, a naive Texan who travels to New York City dreaming of success as a male prostitute. Quickly overwhelmed by the harsh realities of the city, Joe teams up with Ratso, who offers to become his “manager” in exchange for a cut of the profits.
