I’ve got another restaurant experience to tell you about. It was so good that I just have to share! Matt parents took us to the Iberian Pig in Decatur when they were visiting. ALL the tapas were devine, so there’s really no need for me to tell you how delicious, fabulous, unique, mouth-watering each dish was. I’ll just leave you with the description of what I tried, and know that any positive adjective would probably fit:) Drunken goat cheese (soaked…

I love that there was a weekend in the middle of this week! Tuesday was Matt’s birthday, and since we love nothing more than eating out, I took him out! I had made reservations at a neighborhood restaurant, but once it started to pour, I changed our plans at the last minute. I figured since we had to drive, we might as well venture out of the neighborhood. So we headed to Rathbun’s in the Old Fourth Ward. We stopped…
Last weekend, Matt’s company hosted a dinner for the summer interns. I didn’t find out where we were going until the last minute – Two Urban Licks. I had literally just made a reservation there for Matt’s birthday, so I was back to the drawing board for birthday restaurants, but pretty excited to get to experience it! The restaurant was in a huge renovated warehouse, so it was very open and urban with exposed ducts and windows only on one…
Happy holiday week! Is anyone else having the heat wave? I’ve just about sweat through everything I own. So, back to the weekend. I arrived back in Atlanta on Thursday with my parents, feeling quite excited about the recent development (thanks for the comments:)) Matt was working late, so I took my parents to a New Orleans oyster house. We sat outside, pretending to be on Bourbon St. The roasted oysters were great! I hate the raw ones because I…
Having free time this summer has been fabulous. I’m doing a lot of lounging and just taking time for myself. Here are some of the things I’m enjoying: TJ’s coconut water popsicle’s – they’re sweet and tropical and make me feel like I’m hydrating (even though there’s prob not enough water in them to do a thing!) My new gym! This is the first time I’ve ever joined a gym! I’ve always just gone to my school’s gym (Davidson, Northeastern,…
I took myself to the pool today! My the public pool is nice – there was even a mini lazy river! I’ve found that I’m much less tolerant of the heat and sun these days, so I took advantage of the adult swim to cool off. The temperature was perfect. And there was a nice breeze. I packed an avocado and hummus sandwich, along with a juicy [over] ripe peach for lunch. It was quite fun. Late afternoon, I hit…
That epic dinner on Saturday? It took place at Leon’s in Decatur, a gem that many of you recommended! T’was my restaurant soul mate. Why? Because there was outdoor seating, old garage doors that open in the summer, a long beer list, reasonable prices, a strong menu, a casual atmosphere, a feeling of excitement, and a great dessert. Leon’s has it all. I started with a solid red wine. I think it was a tempranillo, or something full and earthy.…
Guys, my weekend was absolutely packed!! Matt and I are trying to explore as much as possible, as we only have 3 free weekends left in Atlanta (we’re traveling a lot in July for various events). I’m exhausted, but so so content:) I’m gonna give you the quick version of the weekend recap: Prickly pear margaritas and seafood paella at La Fonda Hiking to the top of Stone Mountain Tastes of beer at the Tap in Midtown Delicious shrimp, fish,…
Well, summer is off to a great start (knock on wood)! This weekend was totally relaxing and packed with awesome food. Our neighborhood seems so peaceful and I feel happier than I have in weeks. Matt just finished his first week of his internship, so he was pretty much content just resting and eating all weekend. Friday night, we headed to Decatur for dinner. LOVE this area! I could definitely see myself here as a 30-something. We grabbed a beer…
