This week we ventured to one of our favorite Midtown spots for a nice meal at the bar of Ecco.  This was by far the most vibrant bar scene of all the places we have rated so far.  Sauced had lots of cool kids floating around for sure, but Ecco has a great mix of […]

We spent a cold and rainy Friday night dining at the bar at Serpas.  We were joined by two wonderful ladies who have been following our 52 Weeks of Drinks postings and wanted to join the fun - Doreen & Michele.  If you have never been to Serpas - you must geaux.  Serpas is in […]

No - we didn’t get sauced, we just went to Sauced - the restaurant.  Come on people -despite the cocktail tasting theme, we are not getting trashed for the cause.  Sauced is the hip new place to be on our side of town - Inman Park on the edge of Cabbagetown.  Brought to you by […]

This week we stayed close to home and wandered down to Mezcalto’s Cantina in Oakhurst Square for our weekly cocktail.  A meal at Mezcalito’s is already a weekly (sometimes bi-weekly) ritual for us.  Ok - we once at two meals in one day there - it is a problem.  We were not always fans of the […]

Wisteria did not disappoint as a first destination for 52 Weeks of Drinks.  This is one of our favorite restaurants - we love the snotty southern cuisine, the atmosphere and the people who work here including Jason (the chef/owner), Katie (manager/hot hostess), Vivianne (our former waitress turned nurse), and Patricia (multipurpose player).
Hadi (bartender & more) […]

After watching Julie and Julia over Christmas, we decided Random Atlanta needed a mission for 2010.  But not something as ambitious as cooking 524 French cuisine recipes in one year - we have day jobs and waistlines to preserve.   We decided to pick a mission that required less effort and had an Atlanta connection.
So […]

We were wrong.  And we can admit that.  We first went to Repast a few years ago when it first opened.  It was a good meal, and we remember the cocktails being exceptional, but it fell into our - “good but not worth repeating” category.  Many restaurants suffer this fate from us because there are […]

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 […]
