This festival sucks.  Do Not Go.
Actually, the Inman Park Festival is one of (if not the) best Atlanta in-town neighborhood festivals.  The only real negative is that everyone knows this and drives from the burbs down to Inman Park to pack the streets like sardines.   So,take Marta if you decide to go.  There is […]

This hip new(er) spot from the U Restaurant Group in Midtown was packed on Saturday night when we arrived with our party of 8.  The neighbors in the condos above were out on their balconies having cocktails, complaining of the building wide smoke alarm that the restaurant, Cuerno, had set off - one of many […]

I haven’t been this excited about frozen yogurt since it was cool- like 1991.  But frozen yogurt is making a comeback in Atlanta through the yummy goodness of Yoforia.  Made with only organic milk and organic yogurt, this stuff is blissful.  I don’t know if “active cultures” are a good thing, but they sure as […]

Sure, we like to dine, and we like to share our opinions about places we eat, but we are not really “foodies” or snobs about this stuff. Case in point, it took us almost a year to finally make it to Atlanta Magazine’s “Best Restaurant for 2007 - […]

Bonjour!  Alright, I have now expired my full recollection of high school French.  Whatever.  You do not need to speak Fench to enjoy an evening at Atmosphere- a French Bistro in midtown ATL.  Ashley and I celebrated the 2nd Year Anniversary of our non-legally sanctioned Commitment Ceremony by having two nice glasses of champagne followed by an […]

Don’t be frightened by the cheesy title - “The Water Coolers: An Office Musical.”  This “musical” now playing at the Horizon Theatre in Little Five Points does not involve men in tights carrying water coolers on their heads while singing “Where’s My Fax?” in falsetto.  It is not that kind of musical.  It is more like […]
