Oyster & Champagne Party at STK Atlanta
Oysters for $1 each and a glass of champagne for $5 starting at 5pm on Friday, March 31st at STK Atlanta. You really don’t need to know much more than that. Fab food and drinks at a great price at one of Midtown’s coolest spots kind of speaks for itself. But here are the full […]
The Pig and The Pearl
The south meets the sea at The Pig & The Pearl, a smokehouse and raw bar now open at Atlantic Station. Sure, it’s a seemingly odd pairing. But as The Amateur Gastronomer found out, it’s one that lets you enjoy exactly what you’re craving, without having to compromise on quality. The Pig & The Pearl […]

The afternoon of indulgence featured free-flowing Champagne […]

Destination: Boulder
Breathtaking mountains, great hiking, pedestrian and bike-friendly streets, charming restaurants and cafés, and tons of breweries — these are what make Boulder such a great destination. I recently spent a long weekend in Boulder for my friends’ wedding. It was my first time there and I loved it from the start. Coming from flat South […]
A Conch Tour of the Florida Keys
I love spending a weekend in the Florida Keys. It’s a quick drive from South Florida but it feels so much farther away. As soon as I turn onto the Overseas Highway and can see sparkling blue-green water on both sides, I immediately feel happy and relaxed. Of course no visit to the Conch Republic […]
