Pagoda's steamed vegetarian dumplings are both hideable and portable. Six spinach-wrapped pockets come stuffed with zesty cabbage, carrots, celery and water chestnuts. Just note that it may be inconsiderate to grub during Bad Habits, a Mexican film about eating disorders screening at the Ritz East.

Since you won't be able to successfully smuggle Bindi's shrimp xacuti into the Prince Music Theatre during Saturday's screening of Bollywood film Beloved, pick up a curried chicken salad sandwich from Grocery, its gourmet sister store. Also sneak-worthy: the market's pre-packaged pasta salads and brownies.

The Dance Marathon burrito (spinach, portobello mushroom and chicken) is perfect for a movie at the International House. Just please have the good taste to not crinkle the foil during Stranded, a doc about plane crash victims turned cannibals.

Roll up the Flaming Dragon (spicy tuna, eel, avocado and red tobiko) in your jacket before checking out Japanese crime drama I Just Didn't Do It at the Ritz Five on Saturday afternoon.

The supermarket across from the Bridge Cinema de Lux stocks it all: fantastic four-berry smoothies, cheap slices of pizza, fresh-made deli sandwiches, drinks, chips, candy and more. It's truly one-stop shopping for secret stash cinema snacks.

Editor's Note: Sneaking food into theaters is an unprofessional practice that Gary M. Kramer does not condone. Really, though, these are some bitchin' ideas if you are wholly bereft of tact.
