Fuego Mundo Wood-Fire Grill , a new restaurant that opened June 5th at the Prado in Sandy Springs, Georgia, invited customers to come to the restaurant for a food tasting. It gave the restaurant an opportunity to run through […]

I love Atlanta and really wish I had bought my house inside the city. Fabulous finds like The Nook solidify my yearning.
A friend lives in the building directly behind the small neighborhood tavern, and it was extremely relaxing and pleasant joining him for drinks and appetizers right off of Piedmont Park. Now, there is opportunity to […]

Thai Diner in Vinings is the best kept secret outside Atlanta proper.  Nestled in a Kroger shopping center, the lovely interior emits a simple elegance that makes the restaurant a wonderful date spot.  I have been several times since my boyfriend took me on one of our first dates, and I have not been disappointed.  […]

Looking for a great brunch place?  Try the West Egg Café. A prime location at the corner of 14th Street and Howell Mill Road, the coffeehouse/sandwich shop/meeting place with Free Wi-Fi, West Egg is a nice place to begin a Sunday with family, a loved one, or as a singleton.
Personally, the Banana Bread French Toast […]

Although I have lived in Atlanta since the late 90’s, it was only a couple of weeks ago that I stepped into the OK Café for the first time.  Terrible, I know!  Everyone in Atlanta knows about/has eaten at the OK Café, but I just never had the urge to go.

And, it’s all about to be true at Chocolate! 2009, right here in Atlanta on […]

A couple of weeks ago (yes, I am so late posting), I had the opportunity to attend the K/BIS (Kitchen/Bath Industry Show) 2009 conference in Atlanta. The show exhibited innovative kitchen and bath products that work for a wide variety of consumers.
According to the K/BIS website, K/BIS is the premiere industry event to showcase the products […]

Mary Mac’s Tea Room has been a fixture along Atlanta’s Ponce de Leon since 1945.  I have known about, and passed, Mary Mac’s since I have lived here.  But, it was just this past weekend that I actually made it inside. A bit deceiving from the street, the inside is huge.
Pleasantly greeted by a polite and friendly hostess, a […]
