I finally saw The Buckhead Theatre on Saturday, and it is absolutely fantastic!
I could hardly believe how much nicer it was than the old Roxy, where I went to see G. Love approx. 4 1/2 years ago and I witnessed a hardcore drug deal go down + someone peeing in the corner of the venue. True story. What a dump! The newly-renovated Buckhead Theatre, however, is a venue fit for an amazing party of almost any sort, a fun corporate/industry event or an awesome concert where people aren’t confused if the line for the bar is actually a line for the urinal…
So, on Saturday, we went to the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta Young Leadership Council’s Signature Event at the Theatre. And, it was a blast!
We had cocktails in the prefunction area for an hour or two, and then headed into the main theatre space for the event. The stage was perfect for the DJ, and the set up was just superb. I was really impressed with the seated lounge areas with plush couches + tables in the upper part of the space closer to the main doors. And, the bathrooms were immaculate- absolutely without a hint of the old Rox. The whole time we were there I was envisioning throwing an event for work in the space. It’s THAT put together.
I have to admit that my heart truly belongs to the event space @ 200 Peachtree, but if it was booked I’d be calling up The Buckhead Theatre faster than you could say Rumpelstiltskin. No seriously, that word has four syllables.
Info abt. Upcoming Shows @ The Buckhead Theatre: HERE!
I really, really heart you Buckhead Theatre! Welcome.

Is it just me or is every week a Restaurant Week??
Not that I’m complaining…but still. It seems like every time I turn around it’s another RW. (P.S. It’s impossible for me to write “turn around” w/o breaking into song in my head. “TURN AROUND…every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you’re never comin’ round…TURN AROUND Bright Eyes!” ) Excellent. Will have that in my head for the rest of the afternoon. Similarly, I can’t say the word “situation” any longer without thinking of my favorite Thursday night guilty pleasure. GTL 4 Life, yo.
mike "the situation"
Okay, okay – back to business…
My personal favorites included in this list are Ecco (don’t forget to get a bottle of my favorite wine!), Pacci and Serpas, but overall this is a nice selection of restaurants for an excellent deal. Don’t miss out, but honestly if you do, I’m sure that it will be Midtown RW again in a month or two. Just sayin’…

Chef Alex Friedman won the Atlanta Food Rave!
Well deserved, friend!
In other news: Lindsay and I had a BLAST.
We were too busy eating and cocktailing to take too many pictures, but here are the highlights:
Mason Murer is gorgeous!
Lindsay's favorite painting
We witnessed live cake decorating:
Schmoozed with people with excellent taste in ties:
Robot tie!
Saw friends
And even had our BUTTS sketched!
True story!
Posterior Picasso PJae
Our butts!
It was a fantastic evening! We had a lovely time and ate some delicious food…and we are SO excited for Alex!
We’ll be by P’Cheen soon to collect our Jameson shots and fist bumps, A.

Wanted to give y’all a little update on my seriously devastating Nanowax situation…
Remember?
pretty princess locks
+
discontinued wonder-product
=
total + complete hair tragedy
I went to Mint Salon yesterday to fill in Doug, my stylist BFF, on some scoop + get my bangs trimmed, and walked out all cleaned up + gossip-free with THIS bad boy:
Schwarzkopf Osis Marsh Mellow Molding Paste
It’s supposed to replace my beloved Nanowax (we’ll see about that…), but heck – I don’t even really care what it does to my hair, it looks so cool perched on my black granite bathroom counter – I can hardly stand it! Plus, I’ll buy almost anything Doug tells me to…
I’m a total sucker for packaging. I can’t help it. Convincing me to buy something in pretty packaging is about as easy as John Mayer after three whisky sours. Which, I will admit, was actually at least half of the reason I picked up a kickin’ pair of Betsey Johnson pumps last week. I just really loved the neon pink shoebox.
betsey + i love pink
Don’t judge. Seriously, don’t.

Atlanta Street Food Coalition Street Food Soirée last night was amazing!
Despite the drizzle, there was a huge turnout! Check it: 
The appropriately named "Good Food Truck"
Seth and JJ in line for Island and Thai cones, respectively
Greg went for "The Poodle": hot dog with a French toast bun completed by healthy squirts of spicy mustard and maple syrup
My favorite were the spicy, chilled peanut noodles from Artichoke Bliss!
Salted butter caramel ice cream and Mexican Coke float? Yes, please!
Delicious pimento cheese and blueberry lemonade from Grace's Goodness
The ever-popular Yumbii Truck from Hankook Tacqueria
Finally, can't skip cupcakes from...
...also appropriately named Yum Yum Cupcake!
What a great night – EVERYONE got their truck on!
Power to the (mobile, food selling) people!
xx, L
P.S. If you missed this delicious event…fear not! You can go to the Sweet Auburn Curb Market between 11-2pm TODAY for the Urban Picnic and grab a wheeled meal!
P.P.S. (Thanks for the heads up, Seth!)

Today at lunch, I ran to Lily’s to get a quickie manicure + pedicure in prep for The Atlanta Food Rave (on Friday) and the YLC Signature Event at the Buckhead Theatre (on Saturday). I’ve made it a point over the past six to eight months not to wear reds on my nails, but instead rock purples, greens and navys as my go-tos. Most importantly, I’d decided that I was very much against wearing the same color on my fingernails and toenails. Total Canadian tuxedo fashion faux pas if you ask me…
ugh, just ANOTHER reason to dislike Mr. West
Today, I broke my streak. Lily’s just got in OPI’s Fall/Winter 2010 Swiss Collection, and it’s g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s.!
I immediately grabbed the Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous, plopped down with Lily, and didn’t think twice about the Canadian Tuxedo I was about to get on both my fingernails and toenails.
OPI Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous
It’s hot. To me, it’s a funky party color, but classy + subtle enough to pull off at the office. I’m in love! (Sigh.) The whole Swiss line is fantastic, but this color is definitely my favorite.
Well, Canada, guess I’m headed back after all…

Atlanta: right this very minute there’s a revolution brewing! A FOOD revolution! Yes, our food can no longer be contained in mortar-and-brick restaurants – people – our food wants to be MOBILE!
Enter the Atlanta Street Food Coalition: a group of culinary rogues set out to lift the current restrictive Georgia legislation inhibiting the sale of delicious eats from a vehicle.
Just to show you what it’s all about, the ASFC will be holding various events including 2 this week! Check it:
1. TONIGHT: Street Food Soirée at The Hub
Here’s the Q+DD: From 7pm-10pm at The Hub (17th and Spring) you can come by and sample the wares of Atlanta’s favorite foodies on wheels such as Sol Tacqueria, Artichoke Bliss, and the Good Food Truck.
2. TOMORROW LUNCH: Urban Picnic at the Sweet Auburn Curb Market
Here’s the Q+DD: From 11am – 2pm it’s the return of the Urban Picnic - this time in partnership with the City of Atlanta District 2 Councilperson Kwanza Hall! Head on over and enjoy the delicious goods from the Yumbii truck, the King of Pops, West End Burritos, and yes, the Good Food Truck will be there too. This sounds like a WAY better alternative to a Lean Cuisine at your desk…just sayin’.
Now, I’m not overly political – but when politics concern the free love and sale of food….consider me a lobbyist!
Which food truck would vend if we picket? Should I make a sign?
A sandwich board seems most appropriate…

Soooooo, Lindsay has a new favorite restaurant.
It’s called The Iberian Pig, and you can find it hidden in downtown Decatur.
also, you can find it here in this picture. you're welcome.
Although it took Slick + me an extra 30 minutes more than everyone else to find it for Eat Squad last week, it was absolutely worth the hunt. (Seriously, though, it takes a committed foodie to find this place. I kinda felt like I was on The Amazing Race…)
As soon as we found it + met our friends, I was ready for a drink. Much to my complete surprise + great excitement, they feature the Aviation on the menu! I mean, it was just like they KNEW me.
well hello, gorgeous
The menu at The Iberian Pig is pretty freaking phenomenal. The tapas list was extensive + creative enough to fully grab the table’s attention, so we decided to share a bunch of those among the six of us. Here’s what we ate:
charcuterie + quesos
patatas al valdeon
salmon ceviche (special)
salchicha 3-ways
the ladies...
...our studly gentlemen
bbq octopus w/ patatas
first order of pork cheek tacos...
...second order of pork cheek tacos
jonah crab croquetas
B.W.D. (bacon wrapped dates)
cabrita carbonara w/ slow roasted goat
tocino con manzana
calamares
NOT PICTURED (but incredibly delicious): ALBONDIGAS – wild boar sausage meatballs stuffed w/ piquillo peppers, Macedonian dates + roasted tomatoes. Finished w/ pimenton creme and oyster mushrooms.
Every small plate we ordered was unbelievably good. And, we went to town!
so insanely full - could barely stand up to take this, but nice lookin' group, eh?
This was the best meal I’ve had in a long time. The Iberian Pig gets points for (1) really friendly + knowledgeable staff, (2) an incredibly creative + beyond delicious menu – there’s so much more that I’m dying to try, (3) offering the Aviation martini + bacon-infused bourbon (which was v. tasty) at the bar + in the dining room, and (4) for its kind-of-hidden-and-hard-for-Lindsay-and-Slick-to-find Decatur location.
Once we finally found it, though, the giant hunt sorta made us feel like it was OUR restaurant. Which, in fact, it is now.

Like any (once-upon-a-time) Manhattan girl worth her salt, I have a deep-seated love for the Triple B: Bergdorf, Bendel, Barneys. But it wasn’t until I moved to Atlanta when I discovered the wonder that is Barneys CO-OP. Designed for a younger market, the CO-OP is like Barneys’ sassy, rebellious younger sister and frankly? I just can’t get enough.
There are only 25 or so Barneys CO-OP stores sprinkled throughout the US and we happen to be lucky enough to have one right here in the A at Phipps Plaza!
Bonus: Break out the 3D glasses you stole when you saw Avatar, because just released: “Denim Delight: 3-D” – A special Barneys CO-OP national color catalog shot in 3-D! Pick one up at Barneys CO-OP or visit Barneys.com to view the 24-page work of art
(3-D glasses are included for those of you who are not movie theater kleptos.)
This fabulousness is in conjunction with their AMAZING 20% off denim sale going on RIGHT NOW through Sunday.
Both men’s and women’s styles are available and their robust collection of brands include Citizens of Humanity, Acne, Raleigh Denim, EVISU, Helmut Lang, Hudson, Superfine, PRPS, Rag & Bone, J Brand, Levis Made + Crafted, Resin, Gilded Age, Genetic, RRL and more!
DOUBLE BONUS: You can WIN stuff! Show off your best denim styles in their “We Like Your Denim Style!” contest for the chance to win a $500 Barneys New York gift card. Check out Barneys.com/DENIMSTYLE or their Facebook page for more details and to enter.
So head on over to the CO-OP and soon you’ll be hearing, “Are those space-pants? ‘Cause your jeans are out of this WORLD!“
(Yep, that just happened.)
