The Shed at Glenwood

For the record, I have said for a very long time that chivalry is dead. (Dudes: if you don’t read anything on this post, please read my notes on my date, “Chad” at the bottom of this post.  Seriously.)  With the rise of social media, it’s eas…

Pura Vida

True story: I went to Pura Vida on a blind/double date with my mom (yeah, go ahead and laugh.)  It just so happened that my mom’s boyfriend had a roommate who in mom terms was “just so successful and cute!” that I just had to go out with him.&nbsp…

Places NOT to go on a date in Atlanta.

I had a minor panic attack, similar to the type of panic stricken feeling I get when I can’t find any ketchup in the house, when I realized Valentine’s Day is a little over a month away.  No, I’m not stressing because I don’t have a date for that …

Ormsby’s

I haven’t played Bocce ball since my 4th grade PE teacher decided it would be a good idea to teach a bunch of ten year old kids to hurl two pound balls in the field outside my elementary school.  Frankly, it wasn’t a genius move because Matt Swans…

Leon’s Full Service

Before we jump into this review, I need to give a little background on the whole Datealicious idea. It just so happens to be a direct spawn from an article in the New York Times Dining and Wine section on the most desirable date spots in NYC, which for…

Bocado

I’m starting to believe that the west side is the best side. The outcropping of chef-driven restaurants keeps lurring me back like one of those visible aroma trails in a cartoon. Fortunately for me, I didn’t have to rely on my nose to find Bocado this …

Krog Bar

I’m just going to come right out and say it, Krog Bar will make you swoon.  And not swoon like too many glasses of wine make you want to lock lips with the next chick that walks in the door, but the swoon you feel when you lock eyes with your firs…

Flip Burger Boutique

I have to admit.  I grew up hating the hamburger.   Not that it was my fault, I had a father that cooked meat until it closely resembled a lump of coal.  Luckily somewhere along the way I slowly began to warm up to this All-American…

JCT Kitchen and Bar

Okay, so I wasn’t taken here on a date, I was taken here recently for my birthday dinner by my mom and her boyfriend.  Despite my lack of a “date” on this particular night out, I felt like we experienced enough to make a clear of observation on th…

Agave

There’s no doubt Atlantans love anything Mexican.  The recent rise of the taqueria here is a testament to this.  The tough part is filtering out the good from the bad and finding the magic connection between delicious food and …
