Exploring Atlanta – For Newcomers and Natives
Last week, my hubby and I tried Agave for the first time for a special 5-course tequila dinner they were presenting with Don Julio Tequila. We were so impressed with the service and food, so we knew we’d be going back. Being an animal lover and a complete sucker for our four-legged furry friends, I was [...]
My friend, Staci, introduced me to Cafe at Pharr a couple of months ago and all I can say is…yum! When she told me that Cafe at Pharr has “the best chicken salad ever,” I was skeptical. I’ve had a lot of chicken salad that I was told would be “the best” and I’ve usually [...]
When a friend of mine told me about Miss Mamie’s Cupcakes, Cakes and Such on Marietta Square, I knew I had to check it out. Before I even set foot inside, I knew I would love it. Miss Mamie is Mamie Jo Doyle, and she is as charming as her name makes you think she [...]
I love a good, juicy burger, don’t you? George’s Bar and Restaurant is one of my favorite places in town to get a really good burger. I should probably admit that the only thing I’ve ever had at George’s is burgers – even if I’m not thinking “burger” when I walk in, that’s what I [...]
The weather is (finally) starting to heat up here in our lovelyAtlanta – why not celebrate it by spending a little time outdoors? Here’s a creative way to get outside this weekend – join Sweet Escape Yoga for an hour of FREE yoga class outside in beautiful Chattahoochee River Park. Sweet Escape Yoga has a [...]
Everything’s better with bacon. Trust me. Especially a fundraiser. Dad’s Garage, without a doubt one of Atlanta’s coolest and funkiest theatres, is holding its annual fundraiser, Baconfest, tomorrow – Saturday, March 27, 2010 from 1 PM to 5 PM. This is no stuffy ball gown and tuxedo style fundraiser – this is a greasy, bacon-filled [...]
Dunwoody’s Stage Door Players, which was founded in 1974 as a Community Improvement Project of the Dunwoody Woman’s Club, is currently presenting the Tony award winning play, “Master Class” written by Terrence McNally. If you have never seen a show at Stage Door, you will be in for a treat – they present professional quality productions [...]
I happened into the Zen Tea Room one chilly, rainy afternoon while driving home through the historic Chamblee Antique Row area. The Zen Tea Bar and Meditation Room is a gourmet tea shop that is, I am willing to bet, unlike none you have ever visited. With over 100 teas and tea blends, this tea [...]
There are a lot of places in Atlanta that claim to carry “vintage” clothing that are really little more than thrift stores, but Stefan’s Vintage Clothing is the real deal. Opened in 1977, Stefan’s is the oldest vintage clothing store in Atlanta. Their selection ranges from the early 1900s through the 1970s and is one [...]
Saturday afternoon I was wandering around Marietta Square in search of something new – something new to discover, something new to try, something new to write about – and I stumbled upon Paul’s Pot Pies. Chef Paul was there and chatted with me about his business – they’ve been there for 26 years (so I [...]
