Exploring Atlanta – For Newcomers and Natives
It’s summer, and that means it’s time for Atlanta’s own nationally-recognized magician (and my absolute favorite local entertainer) Joe M. Turner’s spectacular annual charity magic show! Joe, who is a good friend of mine, has been featured on Good Morning America, Nightline, CNN Headline News, and has performed across America and around the world – [...]
Though the Salt Factory has only been open for about a year, it feels like a Roswell institution. Located on Canton Street – Roswell’s restaurant row, recently named “Georgia’s Best Street to Eat” in Southern Living magazine – Salt Factory has exposed brick walls and open rafters, a nod to the historic building’s age, but [...]
So here’s the thing. I realize that many of the places I visit and write about are well-known, much-visited staples of Atlanta. Whether great local lunch spots or fabulous local pubs or late dinner favorites, I realize that every post I write is not news to everyone. MetroFresh opened way back in 2005 – eons ago [...]

Did you know that the most famous locomotives in U.S. History resides in Metro Atlanta, one in The Southern Museum in Kennesaw?

If you’ve never been to the Center for Puppetry Arts in Midtown, you are in for a fantastic treat! The summer shows in the Family Series are in full swing; the first production – “Stellaluna” by Tears of Joy Theatre of Portland, Oregon, which was completely sold out on its last visit to the Center [...]
Lately, I’ve been taking my dining suggestions solely from Twitter. I love reading what people say about the places they’re eating and that’s how I found Urban pL8. I brought my friend Ann there for lunch today, not knowing much about it except that people are raving about it on Twitter. The bright, modern, casual [...]
I recently won a Pantry Makeover and In-Home Cooking Lesson from Dunwoody’s Chef Angela McKeller of Kick Back and Kook! A lot of my friends and clients have asked me about Chef Angela, so I thought it would make a good “thing to do”! I really enjoyed the experience, it made my kitchen and pantry [...]
