I Heart the Inman Park Festival.

04/22/2010 in Festivals, Inman Park, What we're Doing by Lindsay | 12 comments

One of my favorite neighborhoods in Atlanta is hosting their annual festival this weekend: the 2010 Inman Park Festival + Tour of Homes. 

I really do love this festival.  (Then, why don’t you marry it?)  Here’s me last year trying to convince Christine that she should buy me some ridiculous wire tiara.  She didn’t…

"but i want a golden goose NOW!"

Whatever, I got over it eventually…  Anyway, here’s the Q+DD on the Inman Park Festival:

During the last full weekend in April each year, Inman Park presents a neighborhood festival widely regarded as Atlanta’s most spirited and eclectic.  The 39th Annual Inman Park Spring Festival and Tour of Homes takes place on Saturday and Sunday, April 24 – 25, 2010. 

Directions to Inman Park: http://www.inmanpark.org/direct.html

Top Five Reasons* Why You Have to Join Me @ the Festival:

5-  Unlike the Dogwood Festival, you can actually afford stuff at the massive Inman Park street market without having to empty your savings account.  Vendors sell everything from antique furniture to unique handcrafted wares.

4-  FESTIVAL FOOD!  Let’s hear it for turkey legs + cotton candy!  (You will be walking around all day - so leave your calorie-counting self @ home, because you’ll just burn off whatever you eat there.  Fact.)  Also, there’s live music and dance performances going on throughout the weekend.

3-   There’s a parade!  It’s led by the Inman Park Butterfly, and followed by floats, bands, art cars, politicians, drill teams, Kelly’s Seed and Feed Marching Abominable Band, clowns, jugglers, etc. – you get the idea.  The parade ends with the appearance of the Inman Park Trash Monarch, perched atop the throne-a street sweeper.

2-  The Festival centerpiece, the Tour of Homes, features incredible turn-of-the-century Victorian Painted Ladies and Craftsman bungalows, as well as original contemporary designs and loft conversions.

Get Tour of Homes Tickets: http://bit.ly/bVTZEo

1-  I mean…I’ll be there.  HELLO!

*Not part of the Top Five, but still noteworthy:  Michelob Ultra is an Inman Park Festival sponsor.  This means that you can day-drink to your heart’s delight and then run a marathon – just like Lance Armstrong.

i believe everything advertisers feed me

See you @ Inman!  :)

In Case You’re Hungry this Week…

03/08/2010 in Buckhead, Events!, Inman Park, Restaurant Weeks, Where we're Eating by Lauren | 4 comments

Please do not forget that it is BUCKHEAD RESTAURANT WEEK. I can’t wait to eat at Anis tonight! I’m feeling very French already...

You know, in Paris they're just "fries"

I know it’s late notice, but the INMAN PARK SPRING RESTAURANT WEEK is also 03/08 (today!) through 03/14!

The Q+DD on IPRW: You know the drill. Great restaurants at a crazy discount. One week only! Although, as a good-karma extra, this Spring, the event will benefit the Believe In Me Foundation, which supports the education and welfare of children with autism and is led by Chef Shaun Doty.

Bonus: $1 raffle tickets will be sold and will go towards the charity.  The Winner will win an hors d’ouerves, beer and wine party for 30 people hosted by Kevin  Rathbun.  Each participating chef will create an appetizer, chooose beer and wine, and celebrate the evening  with thirty of the winner’s friends.  

As in IPRWs past (view my previous post here) the restaurant discounts are in tiers:

$15: Fritti, Pure Taqueria, The Albert, North Highland Pub (dinner for 2)

$25: Wisteria, Parish Food & Goods, Fritti, Park’s Edge, Rathbun’s, Sauced, Shaun’s, Zaya Mediterranean Cuisine

$35: Kevin Rathbun Steak, Sotto Sotto

I must admit: I am SHOCKED that I can even THINK about food after the amazing amount of homemade Pizza Rolls and Milk Duds I consumed at our friend Meredith’s fabulous Oscar party last night…

= LK on the red carpet

My Last Meal

11/06/2009 in Appetizers, Inman Park, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | 2 comments

People often ask Slick if there is more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking.

slick
slick

After careful thought, he will tell them that, yes – there is more to life. It’s called fantasy football.

If I was asked, I would also agree that there is more to life. But, my response has to do with food. You never know what a day holds for you. Not to be Deborah Downer or anything, but I text while I’m driving. I go to the grocery store at night by myself. I jaywalk and I’ve been known to shake my fist at bad drivers.  I consider myself to be a highly responsible person, but frankly, we never know when our time is up. So, if I am going to go sometime, I’d like to leave with a fabulous last meal in my tummy.  That – coupled with questionable self-control and enjoying the social aspects of sharing a great meal with friends – is why I am so into food. The End.

If I got to choose my “last meal” in Atlanta, there is no question that it would be at my favorite restaurant in town – Wisteria. I just love this restaurant, and I didn’t have to think twice about spending my birthday there last year. (Which is quite an honor – if I do say so myself!) See, TADA:

Wisteria - LR Birthday

Wisteria - LR Birthday

Wisteria is consistently amazing and I frequently recommend it to friends, out-of-towners and business colleagues. My three favorite menu items are the North Atlantic Skate Wing, the Molasses-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin and the Pecan Encrusted Atlantic Salmon. Trust me. They are all to die for.

Inside Wisteria

Inside Wisteria

Aside from a prime location in Inman Park, stellar wait staff, killer entrees and chic decor, my favorite part about Wisteria is their appetizers. I feel confident in saying that their appetizer list is the best in town – by far. It’s rare for me to look at a menu and want everything on it. I have tried everything on Wisteria’s appetizer menu – and trying to decide between a few of their items for any given meal is one of the most stressful decisions I have to make.  

Behold its majesty:

Oysters – cold water, served by the half dozen

Black-Eyed Pea Hummus – with homemade sweet potato chips, olives, and tomatoes

Kobe Beef Carpaccio – with arugula tossed in a horseradish vinaigrette and aged parmesan

Charleston-Style Jumbo Lump Crab Cake – over roasted corn and sweet pepper succotash

Cornmeal Fried Calamari – with sweet and sour apricot sauce and wasabi crème fraiche

Pimento Cheese Deviled Eggs – with pickled okra and spiced pecans

Ahi Tuna and Crispy Flatbread – avocados and fresh micro-greens in a citrus horseradish vinaigrette

Prince Edward Island Mussels – in a charred vine-ripened tomato, white wine and herbed garlic broth

Pigs in a Blanket – house cured pork belly, in pastry, with a spicy apple cider vinegar mustard

Tempura Fried Okra – with a horseradish cream sauce

Seared Sea Scallops -over braised pork belly and radicchio with a bourbon molasses reduction

People, life does not get much better than this!! (Unless you are into fantasy football or are really, really, ridiculously good looking…)

P.S. Don’t forget about these two great Wisteria specials:
1 – Burger Sundays for $10
2 – Mussel Mondays for $15.95- Endless bowl of mussels and a glass of house wine.

Make a reservation ASAP!  Life’s too short not to eat great!

Best. Date. Ever.

10/27/2009 in Inman Park, Nails, What we're Doing, Where we're Eating by Lauren | 3 comments

We’ve had a steady love affair going for a solid 5-6 years now. We started seeing each other when we lived in NYC and I was so glad we landed here in Atlanta together. I think it’s starting to get serious. lkezcitrusFor better or for worse, some of my best dates in Atlanta have been with my friend EZ. She’s a fabulous date. She’s cute and funny and fun to be around and very creative in her date ideas and Friday was no exception. It was a GNO (Lexicon addition: Girls Night Out) in 4 parts:

1. Manis and pedis at Nail + Toe Salon in Buckhead
Generally, I’m pretty loyal to Lily, but I think Nail + Toe does a terrific job and each manicure comes with an amazing 5-10 minute shoulder, neck, and scalp massage, gratis! Can’t beat it with a stick. While our nails and toes were polished (Essie “Angel Food” on our hands and OPI “Lincoln Park After Dark” on our toes) we polished off a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and decided we needed to eat. Stat.

2. Light bite at Parish in Inman Park
I think Erin put it best when she said, “Was it the best food in the world? No. Was it the best “spot-hitter” for what we were craving? Yes.”

It was 9:30ish by the time we got there and a little chilly and rainy outside, but when we walked into Parrish, it was lively and warm and cozy and everyone was having an absolute blast. There were pretty people laughing at the bar and the restaurant was packed with little rowdy tables sharing bottles of wine and oysters on the half shell and whatever else. Fabulous. After hearing almost every single server’s advise, we settled on the Milk + Honey Salad (baby spinach with house made almond nougat, dried apricots and cherries, apple wood smoked bacon and chile and wildflower honey vinaigrette), the Squash + Dumplings (1/2 an acorn squash maple roasted and filled with buttermilk parmesan dumplings) and the Mahi Mahi (simple grilled over seasonal vegetables) then…the Bananas Foster. Amazing. When our glasses were empty and the live music packed up and went home, we thought we figured it was time for the next stop. After retrieving our keys from the valet, Bishop (hi, Bishop!), we decided to check out the cigar bar up the street.

3. In-and-out of Highland Cigar Co.
We both liked the idea of smoking a cigar, but when we walked into a wall of smoke, we walked right back out at the thought of either having to wash our hair that evening or having our pillowcases smell like an ashtray. But who knows? We may be back. Next!

4. P’cheen
MWolfe tells me P’cheen has his favorite burger in the city. I’ve never tried it. In fact, I have never had any food at P’cheen, so I can’t tell you what it’s like. What I can tell you is this: I have never had a bad time at P’cheen. It’s just a laid back, cool bar/resto. EZ and I drank cheap beers at the bar and giggled while we speculated about the life stories about everyone we saw and polled people on their favorite theme-party ideas (research for the 5th annual EZ/LK Birthday Bash coming up in early 2010. Get excited.)bday

All-in-all, fabulous GNO. Even on a cold, rainy Friday. So grab your go-to girl and g-o. I suggest someone as fabulous as EZ.

It’s the Little Things…

10/12/2009 in Inman Park, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | 7 comments

Believe it or not, I was actually in town this weekend – so Slick and I went on a date to Rathbun’s on Friday night.  We weren’t starving so we ordered cocktails (note: they make a killer vodka gimlet) and a few small plates.  Everything was delicious, as per usual.  After debating if we were brave enough to try the Roasted Bone Marrow (we were not), we ordered:

———-

- Ahi Tuna Tartare, Blood Orange Vinegar, Serranos:  my favorite!

- Thin & Raw Beef Sirloin, Smoked Salt, Truffle Mustard Aioli:  probably the best carpaccio i’ve ever had.

- Hot Smoked Salmon Tostadas w/ Habanero Cream Cheese:  slick’s favorite!

———-

- Daily Open-faced Ravioli:  ours had crab and some kind of fancy sausage.

- Lamb Scaloppini, Pancetta & Goat Gouda:  the sauce was absolutely incredible!

- Salt & Pepper Shrimp, Sesame Seeds, Serrano:  watch out – it’s fried.  was great, but prob wouldn’t recommend…  (can’t win them all!) 

———-

- KROG (Candy) BAR:  enough said. 

———-

- Drinks @ Krog Bar after our delicious dinner.  Didn’t see any famous folks this time walking off a set at Atlanta Stage Works, but I still had incredible company!

———-

I called three hours ahead of time and had no problem making an 8:30 p.m. reservation at Rathbun’s.  Maybe the honeymoon wore off??  Although it was the first time either of us had been to Rathbun’s when we easily got the reservation time we wanted and didn’t have to wait for our table (even with a reservation) - which had us worrying about the restaurant’s business in this economy, the place was still packed.  Service was still predictably excellent.  Kevin R. was still there to stop by the tables for a quick, “hello,” which is such a nice touch.

"hi, kevin!"

"hi, kevin!"

My favorite aspect of the evening, though, has to be my awesome floor-to-ceiling find in Rathbun’s ladies restroom:

...hiding @ Rathbun's

...hiding @ Rathbun's

Surprise Friday night dates, small plates and hidden artwork that makes you smile…it’s definitely the little things that count!

“If It Ain’t Broke – Don’t Fix It?”

09/29/2009 in Buckhead, Inman Park, Midtown, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | 7 comments

I’ve lived in Atlanta for five years.  Eaten at restaurants all over the city.  And, I think Atlanta has a fabulous culinary scene!  However, when friends come to visit for the weekend or I just need a nice, hearty brunch, I always suggest The Flying Biscuit Cafe.  I am not thrilled that it’s been franchised all over the city, but I don’t feel like biscuits are being compromised in any way.  My favorite location is the one in Candler Park, but I will happily eat at the one in Midtown or Buckhead any day!  I’ve waited for up to two hours to sit down for a meal at Flying Biscuit before.  At almost any other restaurant, I would be immediately deterred by such a long wait - not the FB.  No one does biscuits like them – and they are worth the wait!  Believe it or not, I’ve been eating at the FB at least once a month for five years and I’ve only ever had ONE entree there.  (When did I turn into my father??)  I am a relatively adventurous eater with a serious case of restaurant ADD, but as soon as I step foot into the FB – that all goes out the window!  On Saturday, I found myself at the FB in Buckhead with a number of ladies who hadn’t been in a while or were from out of town.  They asked for menu suggestions, but I simply couldn’t help them out.  The only item I’ve ever eaten is (drumroll please): The Egg-ceptional Eggs!
 
Egg-ceptional Eggs: two fried eggs on black bean cakes topped w/ tomatillo salsa (the green kind) and feta + fruit cup (mostly berries) + whole wheat biscuit.  Deeeeeelicious!

 

Flying Biscuit's Egg-ceptional Eggs

Flying Biscuit's Egg-ceptional Eggs

Of course, I have nothing to compare it to…  Regardless, Flying Biscuit is an oldie, but a goodie – and now it can be found all over town!  Expect to wait at least 20 minutes for a table - pretty much any time of the day.  Don’t forget that they serve breakfast all day long! 

Here’s a link to their menu: http://www.flyingbiscuit.com/Menus.aspx

Bon appetit!

Better than the Swine Flu!

09/16/2009 in Deals + Steals, Inman Park, Restaurant Weeks, Where we're Eating by Lauren | 3 comments

It’s a restaurant week EPIDEMIC!

Right on the heels of Downtown and Midtown restaurant weeks comes INMAN PARK restaurant week! Check it: http://www.inmanparkrestaurantweek.com
inmanparkYou know the drill: 3 course meals at fabulous restaurants at fabulous prices. IPRW has three tiers – $15, $25, and $35 as follows:

$15
Pure Taqueria (ok I may be too blonde to understand this, but Pure in Inman Park won’t be QUITE open yet in time for IPRW. But they’re listed as a participant and I’ve been to the one in ‘Phretta courtesy of my fabulous OTP friends L+J and LOVED it. We were super rowdy and I was glad I had a designated driver to cart me back down to Exit #1. There is also a location in Woodstock. What is a Woodstock?)
Sauced – only on Sept 25. I don’t get it, but whatevs, I really dig their logo.
The Albert

$25
Fritti - I adore Fritti. I love their little patio, I love their thin crust pizzas, I love their calamari, I love their risotto croquettes, and I love that the chef once brought me a glass of his personal homemade limoncello…which isn’t on the menu.
Sotto Sotto – I have never had a bad time or a bad meal at Sotto Sotto. Plus – if you’re lucky, you’ll see this girl there:

amysarifShe’s what you call “obsessed” with the place.

Wisteria – This place must be magical because out of all the restaurants in Atlanta, Linds elected to have her birthday there this year and it was spectacular. Witness:

lindsbdaywisteria

Rathbun’s -sigh. :) Just go. And don’t forget about Krog Bar, either.
Parrish – see here
Park’s Edge

The VERY Quick and Dirty Dirty

08/25/2009 in Brookhaven, Buckhead, Inman Park, Where we're Eating by Lauren | 6 comments

I love to be busy (and I know we are ALL busy)

but I have never known this kind of busy before! busy girlNever fear, though. I have still found time to eat and drink cocktails.

Here’s a quick rundown of a few recent excursions…

Drinks @ Home in Buckhead
Located in the old space of longtime Atlanta favorite, Seeger’s (then relatively short-lived Posh) I have been meaning to try Home for some time. I’ve heard mixed reviews and just hadn’t made my way over, so when my friend suggested we meet there for cocktails, I was all about it!

It was definitely an interesting choice for happy hour. I loved the little bar area. Separate from the main dining area, it’s quite intimate and the service was very warm. It’s…well…homey!

We had a few bites: the tuna tartare was great, but I chuckled a little internally when we ordered the “heirloom tomato salad” and received a bowl of grape tomatoes and sliced carrots in balsamic. Come on, now. Didn’t you once have a Top Chef in the kitchen? Whatever, though. My Ketel and soda tasted divine!

Drinks @ the St. Regis bar in Buckhead
It was my first time there, and I looooooved it. The scene was b.u.m.p.i.n.g. The St. Regis was my second stop of the night, so please forgive the bird’s eye view review, but it has pretty much everything you (I?) could want in a hotel bar: open spaces with lots of enclaves and cushy couches, a modern wine bar area, a buzzing country club-esque lounge, a chi chi la la restaurant attached, spectacular chandeliers, pretty people, the whole 9. Can’t wait to go back for Ms. Wolman’s nuptials in 2 weeks!

Dinner @ Zuma Sushi in Inman Park
The sushi was good and super fresh, I really liked our wine choice, and I had an absolute blast…but I am fairly sure I can attribute the latter to the fabulous company I kept on Friday night.  I’m just saying…I don’t know if I’d truck it back over there just for my salmon nigiri. No real complaints though, it was a super way to spend a Friday night!

Dinner @ Haven in Brookhaven
Y’all, I love Haven. I have personally never had a bad time there. I mean, they already had a few things going for them with the truffled haystack appetizer and the exposed brick walls and the open kitchen and rad lighting fixtures, but the food is always spot-on, the service is impeccable, and I adore the bar scene as well (even though I might be the youngest person there by 20 years or so…) On Sunday, we started with the Bluefin tuna crudo (amazing) and the local heirloom tomato and zucchini tart (outstanding) then split the scallops over local field pea succotash (perfection) with sides of broccolini (delish) and the parmesan TATER TOTS (gimme some of your tots!) It’s always delicious and unpretentious and comfortable and I think I could eat there every night. I do.

Is Swimsuit Season Over Yet??

08/03/2009 in Buckhead, Cocktails, Decatur, Highlands, Inman Park, Midtown, Where we're Eating by Lindsay | 8 comments

All I did over the weekend was EAT.  (It was kind of awesome.)  Planning to hit the gym like I’m training for a marathon this week, though.  Here’s a snapshot of my edible excursion across Atlanta:
= Lindsay

= Lindsay

 
Thursday
  
- Dinner @ Pozole (Highlands): Met some colleagues for tacos and margs on Thursday night.  Christine and I loved the mango margaritas made with fresh juice and crushed ice.  Some of my colleagues opted for the jalapeno margs, which also looked amazing.

Pozole on Urbanspoon

 
Friday
 
- Dinner @ Genki (Buckhead): I’ve eaten an insane amount of sushi around Atlanta, and I think Genki is still hard to beat.  Their rolls are creative and the atmosphere is really lively.  There aren’t too many sushi restaurants in Atlanta with a porch, either.  I had the ahi tuna special with mango and pineapple, which went great with a Kirin Light.

Genki Noodles and Sushi on Urbanspoon

 
- Drinks @ Buckhead Fork & Screen: Slick and I met up with one of our favorite couples to see Funny People.  (I was so relieved I could talk someone into seeing it with me!)  BF&S is a fun alternative to normal movie-going.  We had a bucket of beer and really enjoyed the movie.  I thought it was hilarious and was impressed with the cast – Slick thought it was too long, but enjoyed his wheely chair.
 
Saturday
 
- Brunch @ Thumbs Up Diner (Decatur): Thumbs Up is the old Crescent Moon.  I have to say I am sad to see that CM is no longer there, but Thumbs Up retained my favorite CM menu item: The Heap.  It’s pretty much all the bad breakfast food you could imagine cooked and served to you in a skillet.  (Perfect brunch food to cut a hangover.)  I drew Slick a Picasso-esque masterpiece with crayons while waiting for our meal – it’s proudly displayed on his fridge now.  P.S. Thumbs Up is cash only.

Thumbs Up Diner on Urbanspoon

 
- Lunch @ Yoforia (Highlands): My favorite.  I really think Yoforia was the best thing to happen to the Highlands since El Taco.  I never feel guilty about ordering my original flavor with strawberries, blueberries and mango.  So delicious.
 
- Dinner @ RA Sushi (Midtown):  I just can’t stay away from this place.  We had an awesome dinner with some of Slick’s friends.  Tried the New Zealand roll with kiwi and a few other fun menu items, all of which were noticeably reasonably priced for Midtown sushi.  Mango martinis were $3.  Amazing.
 
- Drinks @ RiRa Irish Pub (Midtown):  I’d heard mixed reviews, but I had a great time on Saturday night at RiRa.  It was packed, but there were more than enough bartenders to service everyone and no girl’s bathroom line!  Plus, the shipped-over decor was awesome and I appreciated my server’s authentic Irish accent.
 
Sunday
 
- Brunch @ Parish (Inman Park): We originally wanted to eat at Highland Bakery, but the line was 45 min. long and it was drizzling outside = NOT happening.  Instead, we went over to Parish to eat downstairs.  Parish’s staff is so friendly and I love the rustic, hipster atmosphere.  Pretty much everyone who eats there has the coolest eye wear I’ve ever seen and a Mac with them.  I am clearly fradulent, but I haven’t been exposed yet…  I had a caprese salad sandwich, but the folks I went with all had yummy-looking omelets.  Also, Parish makes their own versions of some of Little Debbie’s staples like oatmeal creme pies and zebra cakes.  They had samples of their original pop tart, too, which was incredible. 

Parish Foods & Goods on Urbanspoon

- Dinner @ Whole Foods (Buckhead): After a long day of playing with puppies at the Atlanta Humane Society and taking advantage of tax-free weekend at Bloomies in Lenox, we debated Shorty’s (my favorite Sunday restaurant), grabbing a burger at George’s in the Highlands or driving over to the O.K. Cafe on W. Paces Ferry, but ended up at Whole Foods in Buckhead.  We left with chicken and sun-dried tomato pizza, rotisserie chicken, mango orange juice and some fruit.  It was a fun modge podge meal to start off Shark Week!!
 
Taking the day off today to let my blood sugar/ caloric intake settle a bit, but I am  looking forward to trying Leon’s Full Service (Decatur) on Tuesday evening!  (More on that later…)  Please wish my waistline good luck!
