To start tonight’s date, we would like to point out that Date Night avoids chain establishments. We like to frequent locally-owned restaurants as we stimulate the Atlanta restaurant industry with our dining dollars. However, it’s Friday the 13th and some friends have invited us out, so to mix things up, we go to a chain… Read More On The Border: 1/13/12
Happy New Year to our loyal readers! It’s our first date night of 2012 and we find ourselves on the square in Decatur. Our original plan is to have beer and pretzels at The Brick Store, one of our favorite watering holes, but it takes us so long to get to the Decatur square from… Read More Cakes and Ale: 1/6/12
An associate at work was heard to say that South City is his favorite restaurant in Atlanta, so we decided to check it out and see if he is right. South City has two locations, in Midtown and in Vinings. Being suburb dwellers, we hit the Vinings location and took along our solo offspring, since… Read More South City Kitchen: 12/23/2011
Those of you who have been following our date night escapades know that we like our beer as much as we like our food. When we read about Food 101’s “Twelve Beers of Christmas” dinner in our local newspaper, it took us about five seconds to decide to go. Chef Justin Keith likes his beer… Read More The 12 Beers of Christmas
Due to a busy cycling/travel season, date night hits the road for the next 4 Fridays. This Friday, we are on the road to Savannah… We don’t eat fast food, but we need food fast! We need to drive to Metter, GA after work. It’s a very busy Friday night in the ATL: The Braves… Read More CNN Center Food Court: 9/2/11
Where Have We Been? Date night has been on a short hiatus due to a busy travel schedule. We have been out of town, then Eve went away for a weekend, and to top it all off we had to get our son off to college. So date night got postponed for a few weeks,… Read More La Fonda: 8/12/11
It’s Friday night so it should be date night, but it’s not! We are on a road trip and with 9 days of eating out ahead of us, we decided to hit the road immediately after work and grab Moe’s on the road. We enjoy freshly-made tofu burritos as we head north on I-85 on… Read More Moe’s Southwest Grill: 7/15/11
The ‘Hood Somehow or another we are back in West End, but tonight we are on the “other side of the tracks”. We’re right down the street from Bacchanalia, where it just so happens that the owner of Urban Pl8 (plate, get it?) used to work. This part of the West End looks very similar… Read More Urban Pl8: 7/8/11
The ‘Hood “Fashionable” West End. When I moved to Atlanta in 1972, the West End was a bunch of warehouses near the railroad tracks. As the years went by, it turned into a bunch of empty warehouses, but now it has been resurrected as a trendy area close to downtown, full of restaurants and loft… Read More Miller Union: 7/01/2011
Some friends of ours ate here a couple of weeks ago and raved about it, so we thought we would give Two Urban Licks a try. It’s 3 miles from our work location, and getting there could not have been easier. It’s located in an old industrial district that has been refurbished into apartments and… Read More Two Urban Licks: 6/24/2011
Tonight’s quest for a full stomach finds us at Cinco’s Mexican Cantina on Akers Mill Road in Smyrna. Or is it Marietta? Or Vinings? Who knows–their address on the internet says Atlanta, but it’s in Cobb County, so there’s no way we are in Atlanta. Anyway, I digress. We have driven by this place a… Read More Cinco’s Mexican Cantina: 6/17/2011
