Exploring Atlanta – For Newcomers and Natives
Someone once told me, you learn something new every day – today I learned that Atkins Park Tavern in Virginia-Highland is Atlanta’s oldest continuously licensed tavern. Now that is definitely something to celebrate! To commemorate turning 90 next month, Atkins Park Tavern is hosting a special Prohibition Dinner on Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Featuring dishes that [...]
One of my favorite books of all time is Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It’s whimsical, it’s fantastical, it was made into one of my favorite movies of all time: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, as in the original 1971 version (not the creepy and downright strange 2005 Tim Burton version). And [...]
It’s a rare opportunity that we get to do something good for someone we don’t know. Here’s your chance, Atlanta – and you can do it tonight! Today – Tuesday, February 21, 2012 – from 4:00 PM until midnight, Meehan’s Public House in Vinings is having a fundraiser for the Carmo Family. On Sunday, Jan. 29, [...]
On Sunday afternoon, I had the enormous pleasure to meet and listen to an incredible author whom I had previously only known through the pages of her book. Deborah Scroggins, the winner of Georgia Author of the Year for her book, Emma’s War, is in town for her new book, Wanted Women – Faith, Lies, [...]
Back in December, my friend Tim Gaddis, the Cheesemonger at Star Provisions (some of you may know him as @timthecheeseman on Twitter) posted this tweet: And then this one: So I FLEW (not literally, but almost) down to Star Provisions and secured one of the only twelve bottles they had in stock. Only TWELVE bottles! [...]
Last Friday night, my friend Angela and I had a girly girls’ night – we got all dressed up and went to see Atlanta Ballet’s production of Twyla Tharp’s “The Princess & The Goblin.” And we weren’t the only ones. Girls of all ages – from tiny toddlers to their grandmothers and everyone in between [...]
Those of you who know me would probably not classify me as a biker chick – though the outfits do have a certain bad-girl appeal to them, I’m not so much a wind-in-my-hair, take-my-life-into-my-hands daredevil. But that didn’t stop me from taking a motorcycle class at the Honda Motorcycle Safety Foundation Alpharetta Campus. It was [...]
The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival is in full swing – today is the first official day of the regular festival, which goes until February 29, 2012. AJFF is teaming up with Atlantic Station to bring you a special Food Truck Friday, in conjunction with a screening of the documentary film, The Apple Pushers. Movie patrons [...]
I’m a huge fan of Virginia Willis, not just because I love her cookbooks (Bon Appetit, Y’all and Basic to Brilliant, Y’all) and her French Quarter spice rub, but because the few times I’ve met her she’s been everything I think a Southern chef should be: welcoming, hospitable, kind, humble. It only makes sense that [...]
In the past two years of 365Atlanta.com, I’ve gotten to know the Atlanta Ballet, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised with each new discovery. From the haunting and breathtaking Moulin Rouge to the energetic and lively new works in Ignition, I have fallen in love with the diversity, variety and beauty that the Atlanta Ballet produces. [...]
