The Loop


Today is a nice, warm day. If you're like me, it's a perfect day for shopping and looking for some unique furniture finds. I meandered through the winding streets, looking at the chic boutiques and passing them by. They were pretty, but they didn't reflect my personal style. Just then, I saw a neon sign that read The Loop, Pizza Grill. Suddenly I had ...

Cowtippers


After a day of rollerblading in the park, we grabbed a bite to eat at Cowtippers.  It looks just as fun as it sounds!  A cross between a rustic and whimsical farmhouse, Cowtippers has plenty of stuff to distract a toddler-- from the cool cow artwork to funky wood tables.  Even the booths make a statement, decked out in diary cattle decor! It is very kiddie friendly, although I get the impression that it's more ...

Here your gonna find a great mix of people who have these things in common: good laughs and great American-style food. Fridays are ...

A few years ago my friends and I (both men and women) decided to do a little something different for Valentine's Day.

Okay, the truth is we all waited until the last minute to book our dinner reservations for Cupid's big night. And although we looked all over town, we couldn't find openings anywhere. In a panic for something to do, we came across this little place called ...

Joel Atlanta


Joel Atlanta

Nestled just off of Interstate 75 in a condo complex a few minutes north of the I-75/85 split, Joel provides patrons with a modern, almost minimalist environment to enjoy wonderful food and a terrific wine selection. Even though the tables and couches can be a little close at time--you may come to know the party next to you better than you'd hope--the artistry of the ...

Shop in Atlanta... And while you're at it, why not grab a bite to eat?


Atlanta has a vibrant shopping scene, from the most common retailers like WalMart to specialty shops, to high end retail like Dillards. For an eclectic array of retailers, I would first recommend that one should check out the Camp Creek Market Place.
