Marin IJ Restaurant Review: Mill Valley’s Tamalpie Still Delivers Great Food, Cocktails

I’d describe the pizza served at Tamalpie in Mill Valley as one with a Neapolitan crust and California-style toppings. This style suits its clientele just fine. The crust is thinnish, softly chewy and just a little crisp on the bottom. Toppings are fresh and first-rate, like Hobbs’ meats and house-made tomato sauce. Tamalpie, which opened in 2011, is firmly grounded in Mill Valley at the foot of Mount Tamalpais with a list of pizzas named after hiking trails and old camps on the mountain, like Cascade, Railroad Grade and Bootjack.

SF Chronicle: Why Martin Scorsese — and you — Should Get Back to Watching Movies in Theaters (Despite Netflix, there are Still Plenty of Reasons to See Films on the Big Screen)

Famed director Martin ScorseseĀ made news last monthĀ when he explained to film critic PeterĀ Travers why he no longer went to see movies in a theater. Citing audience cellphone use, incessant talking and generally restive behavior that often drowns out dialogue, the director of ā€œTaxi Driver,ā€ ā€œRaging Bullā€ and ā€œGoodfellasā€ told Travers he’d had enough. Of course, big screens in the U.S. were in big trouble long before Scorsese’s admission. The pandemic only turbo-charged the pre-COVID trend away from theaters in favor of home-based entertainment media. In the first half of 2020,Ā Netflix added more than 26 million subscribers. So when shuttered theaters reopened, audiences — specifically American audiences — did not rush back in droves.
