#110 – The Viceroy Royal Indian Dining – The Taste of Indian Royalty in Dunwoody
I love Indian food. It’s one of my favorite cuisines, so I am always really excited to try a new Indian restaurant. We happened upon The Viceroy in Dunwoody the other night just by chance, while we were looking for somewhere new to try, and I have to say, I was impressed! Having a couple [...]

#107 – Bella Cucina Artful Food in Virginia Highland
The first time I wandered into Bella Cucina Artful Food in Virginia Highland, I think I stayed for almost 45 minutes, reading the ingredients on the jars, sampling the delicious tidbits in the back on the sample table, perusing the recipe books and loving the store. The more than a dozen varieties of pestos are [...]

#105 – Baroni – Now Open in Buckhead / Peachtree Hills – Casual, Original Italian
One of my favorite casual places to eat in Atlanta is Baraonda Caffe Italiano. Its proximity to The Fox Theatre and Churchill Grounds makes it our staple for pre-show dinners and the casual, comfortable bar with the exposed wood-fire oven makes it a fun place to eat anytime. Now, the owners of Baraonda have opened a [...]

It’s not an easy task to find authentic New Orleans cuisine outside of New Orleans – and Atlanta is no exception. Now, I am by no means an expert on authentic New Orleans cuisine; however, when I visited Henry’s Louisiana Grill in Acworth my lunch companion was a New Orleans native who assured me that this is one [...]

“Imagine residents safely enjoying their city, socializing with neighbors, and engaging in healthy activities. Imagine if all of this were free, with absolutely no barriers to participation. By the people, for the people.“ This is probably one of the coolest “things to do” I’ve posted about yet – if this doesn’t make you jump up [...]
#102 – Smyrna Wine Stroll Benefiting Lupus Foundation of America – Smyrna Market Village – May 22, 2010
If it seems that most of the benefits and charity events in Atlanta involve wine tastings and beer fests…well, I would say that’s fairly accurate. But when you can sip for a good cause, it makes it that much more fun! Today is no exception. The Wine Cellars, Inc. in Smyrna Market Village presents The Smyrna Wine [...]
#101 – Farm Burger in Decatur, GA – Now That’s One Delicious, Ethical Burger
I’ve been hearing a lot about Farm Burger lately, especially on Twitter, and to be honest, I was starting to get a little jealous of those who had been there when I hadn’t yet! I was driving by last week, so I pulled a U-turn and decided to treat myself to one of these much-talked-about burgers. [...]
