The name alone should make you want to go there…even if you are a vegetarian.  It sounds kinda cute.  Robin, Curtis, Alison and I visited Decatur’s newest restaurant, The Iberian Pig, last week and enjoyed it immensely. The place is warm with darker colors and wooden tables and chairs (not comfortable after an hour if […]

On Friday night - let me say that again -on Friday night, Alison and I drove to Duluth in 5:00pm traffic.  Why you may ask?  Good question.  And one that may be too long of an answer.  Let’s just say we were going to see a wonderful young man in his first interpretive dance production […]

So, I visited the new Kirkwood Corner Market like two weeks ago and am just writing about it.  I apologize - because I really did like it!  What a fun, fresh, new shop located on Hosea Williams Drive next to Coan Middle School.  It is a true market - with groceries, fabulous retro candies, chips, […]

We should be ashamed that we lost such a great sandwich shop - and now friggin Birmingham has old man Ramirez and his famous Cuban sandwiches!  How we miss those delicious and amazing and inexpensive Cuban sandwiches packed in a paper bag while we try to eat them on the dilapidated picnic tables out back. […]

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 […]

So, Andrew, I did really go outside the perimeter today for a closing in Kennesaw.  On my way, I stopped at the Chick-fil-A on Barrett Parkway.  Let me just say this experience was a bit surreal.  First, I walk in and go to wash my hands in the ladies room, and there I find, not […]

From time to time I have to go out to OTP (oh no!) to get my wonderful Toyota Prius serviced at World Toyota along Peachtree Industrial Road.  I have often walked to the Waffle House, but it has closed down, so I finally tried Oga’s Restaurant across from World Toyota.  I was not disappointed.  This […]

You know you are getting old when you go to a fancy restaurant at 5pm, and they don’t open until 5:30pm.  Now, we had a good excuse.  Alison, Kristen, Michael, and I were hitting the new Comedy Show at The Vortex’s Laughing Skull Lounge at 7pm last Sunday evening, so we wanted to have enough […]
