Stella, the neighborhood trattoria, located on Memorial Drive across from Oakland Cemetery is a pleasant treat for anyone who lives in this area.  Billed as a “Grant Park” eatery, it is close to Cabbagetown, Reynoldstown, and Downtown.  Alison and I love it and have gone three times in the last couple of months.  The […]

The delicious cocktail at Noni’s.
My favorite street in Atlanta has always been Edgewood Avenue.  I love the brick buildings, the historical look of it, and I don’t know, I just love it.  So, there are a lot of new restaurants / shops popping up all over the place and I promise to write about each […]

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 […]

I am not sure if you have ever been to Cafe 458 - an entity of The Samaritan House of Atlanta.  Cafe 458 by day is a wonderful place where the homeless can get a good hot meal “with reservations.”  The concept is excellent and the place does more than just feed people in need. […]

The kitchen at Trois before the frenzy began.
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 - […]

A view from the Sun Dial.
We took Alison’s mom, Judy, and a friend of hers, Jo Ann, to the Sun Dial Restaurant on top of the Westin in Downtown. The Westin by the way is billed by the wait staff as the “tallest hotel in the Western Hemisphere.” Now, if […]

I think our Prius was certainly the cheapest car in the parking lot when we left this place on Saturday night. Yet, I am proud to say, it most certainly got the best gas mileage of any of the over sized very expensive cars parked there.
Kevin Rathbun’s Steak is located (and certainly boasted about) […]
