Birdcage – Atlanta, GA
An article from Eater Atlanta about new restaurants in the city, put Birdcage on the list. On Memorial Drive, just east of Boulevard, the decor screams Miami Beach, at the peak of its glory, in both color and tone. Combine that with an homage to the mid-nineties Nathan Lane / Robin Williams film of the […]
D Boca N Boca – Atlanta, GA
This restaurant “does not accept cash”. It took almost three years for D Boca N Boca to open. And I’ve been watching the space for most of that time. You see, I’m a sucker for authentic Mexican food. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve got nothing against well done strip-mall “Dos-Burros-Amigos-Fiesta-Loco” Americanized-Mexican food, but that’s […]
How Crispy Express – Atlanta
After the grouper sandwich search found at FishMonger, the next sandwich on the list was from How Crispy Express. This former pop up, now in a storefront in Summerhill is just across the patio from Wood’s Chapel. I’ve seen the signage several times but never gone in. I’ve also browsed the menu on-line, several times, […]
Girl Diver – Atlanta, GA
For our anniversary, we were looking for some place new to try when I remembered hearing about Girl Diver, which opened in the Madison Yards development in late 2020. Originally announced as a Vietnamese / Cajun seafood place, it feels more general-Asian-meets-seafood-by-the-pound. But I had heard they had a killer lobster roll, and I happen […]
Hot Dog Pete’s – Atlanta, GA (Quick Bite)
One of my co-workers asked me if I had been to Hot Dog Pete’s, which had opened in July of 2020. I’d never heard of it, which immediately made it interesting. So on a Sunday afternoon, as we discussed what we might want for lunch, I suggested a quick run down to Summer Hill to […]
Cold Beer – Atlanta, GA
Just named Eater.com’s 2019 Atlanta Restaurant Design of the Year, Cold Beer opened mid-summer on the new Eastside trail of the Beltline. “On the Beltline” is the key descriptor if you choose to go. They have an address on Dekalb Avenue, but, on Google maps appear to be on Edgewood. Until you get to Edgewood […]
El Tesoro – Atlanta, GA
A couple of weeks ago, I heard about the tacos and tortillas at El Tesoro and planned on making a trip. Today, with a journey to Monroe in mind, we stopped by for breakfast. Located on Arkwright Place, just parallel to Memorial Drive and just east of Moreland, we arrived toward the end of breakfast […]
Banshee – Atlanta, GA
Several months back, we were out and wandering about and I was shopping for snap button shirts. We were in a vintage shop in Decatur and I was discussing the challenge of finding vintage Wranglers and Rustlers with another gentleman (we were both wearing and looking for the shirts). Turned out, the other shopper was […]
Hattie B’s – Atlanta, GA
If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that I love hot chicken. If you haven’t – I do love hot chicken. We’ve been (not so) patiently waiting for Hattie B’s to open for months – along, apparently, with a lot of other Atlantans. Earlier this month, the wait ended. In fact, […]
The Argosy – Atlanta, GA
Hanging out in the city on a Saturday, for a change, it was creeping toward dinner time. I went on line for a couple of lists of pizza places to try and up came a recommendation for the Argosy. Located in East Atlanta Village, across the street from Elder Tree Pub, we arrived a little […]
