Look for love with Nitehawk and Rockaway Brewing Company’s Valentine FILM FEAST presentation of COMING TO AMERICA.

This 80s classic romantic-comedy, directed by John Landis, stars Eddie Murphy as Akeem Joffer, the crown prince of the fictional African nation of Zamunda, who comes to the United States in the hopes of finding a woman he can marry. As a prince of a wealthy country, Akeem wants to find a woman who loves him for him and not for his royal title. So he flees to New York with his sidekick, Semmi, and pretends to be a student who works in a fast food joint. There he meets a young beautiful woman but his secret is hard to keep, especially when his father comes to bring him to his senses!

As always, our Film Feasts serve each dish at the moment its inspirational scene comes on the screen!
