The West Coast already knows all about the indie-rockers, Leopold and his Fiction. The Midwest and east are in for a treat. If you dig Zeepelin, White Stripes, Kings of Leon; you will want to see these guys perform live. New videos at their MySpace site.
Megan_St_James wrote about No Mas! Cantina
In a city rich with so-called Mexican restaurants, No Mas! Cantina and Hacienda stands out as a true diamond in the rough. Owners, Walt Bilinski and Steve MacNeil, envisioned bringing the best of Mexico to ATL through art, food, and fun. This oasis provides a quick escape to South of the border without having to go through airport security. The Hacienda is breathtaking with its unique offerings from over 300 talented Mexican artisans. Then of course there is the Cantina with its Mexican-inspired foods prepared by self-learned executive chef, Señorita Melody Voirin. There is no mass production here; even the chips and salsa are made fresh throughout the day. The smoky chipotle-flavored salsa is the perfect partner with the robust taste of the smooth Dulce Margarita-with Partida Blanco Tequila, fresh limejuice, and Agave nectar. Each handmade glass is adorned with a bracelet, a good way to keep count. It was a three-bracelet night To get things going, the warm flavors of the pureed Butternut Squash soup in a house-made chicken stock are simply divine. As the last slurp disappeared, Cajy, our knowledgable server, delivered the awesome Calamari Frito con Jalapeños. These flash fried treats match perfectly with the chipotle ranch and avocado cream sauces. Dip the jalapeño in the mouth-cooling avocado cream and the calamari in the tangy chipotle ranch and let your taste buds go on a roller coater ride. The multi-faceted chicken Quesadilla Roja is not like any other in the city. Melody showcases her skills through this dish. The chicken, goat cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes dance with tangy tropical flavors from the mango, pineapple, cilantro, onion, and jalapeño salsa. This is way too good. When I thought the quesadilla was the best ever, out came the otherworldly Tilapia Fish Taco. The Tilapia is lightly coated in a seasoned masa breading, flash fried in order to retain all its deliciousness, then topped with a jicama coleslaw and creamy chipotle sauce and wrapped in a freshly made tortilla- unbelievable. As for the house specialties, the Camarones Alambres, perfectly grilled jumbo shrimp on a sugar cane skewer resting on top a masa cake with sweet fried plantains touched with an exotic tamarind sauce is a treat not to be missed. One of Melody’s favorites, and mine as well, is the Pollo Relleno, after this you will never have a Chili Relleno again. The 24-hour marinated, grilled chicken breast is stuffed with rajas poblano pepper, Chihuahua cheese, and drizzled with salsa verde, served with cilantro-mashed potatoes is melt in your mouth good. To satisfy that carnivore craving, the savory Bistek Café Tamarindo- a skirt steak marinated with a coffee rub, spices, and tamarind with roasted acorn squash puree and seasonal vegetables, each bite seemed to be better than the last. When you get that “got to get away” feeling and you just can’t, No Mas! Cantina and Hacienda is waiting to give you that escape to Mexico at least for a while.

They have specials going on during weekdays. for example you can get a glass of wine for 2 dollars on Monday and Tuesday. On Wed, they have 1 dollar beer. Thursday Tapas starting @ $3. Come check their new menu out.

crunkatlanta wrote about Marco's Pita
Being in business for over 16 years . There is something to say about a businessman doing it in Atlanta. He must be doing something right . The food is the talk on friends lips and seeing the people being happy after leaving . That speaks of excellent customer service and satisfaction . Marcos Pita is located in Midtown on Ponce. Take my word for it and stop by and say - " Crunkatlanta recommended this " , you will be happy as well. Crunkatlanta

nikkib35 wrote about Lodge At Windy Acres
We just got back from staying overnight and I must say I was a bit leary finding it on line, however was I very pleasantly surprised. I just lost my grandmother back in May of this year and I felt like I had just walked back into her house. This is a gorgeous home with very open floor plan it has a huge living room/dining room. My fiance and I were there with another couple and we wound up waking before them and went out into the large living room sat down on the couch and began watching t.v. it was so beautiful watching the sunrise behind Yonah Mountain and it made it even more beautiful having the Christmas tree up and decorated. This place is so full of character and charm, I recommend for a stress reliever! Ms. Betty has done a great job of this place , we will definitely go back.

ShondaBee wrote about Anderson Diner
I went to Anderson's today. The girl who fixed my plate was very friendly and polite. I have noticed that the staff has been told to put the very minimum on plates and I have noticed a skimpy portion of vegetables. So of course the vegetables were skimped, but she started fixing my meat and put what I felt was ample and worth my $10. This guy, then comes over to her and whispers in her ear that she put too much food on my plate and that the manager would say something to her if he saw that. I could not believe what I was hearing, I have seen this guy plenty of times before and I noticed that he would always whisper something in the server's ear, but I never knew what until now. I was insulted and will not be eating there again. They are penny pinchers.

Kudos to ALL of the Icehouse staff!!! We (Lowenstein Productions) promoted our first show there last night. The show was a great success thanks to the staff !!!! The sound was good,food was great and the Icehouse staff was awesome! If you are ever looking for a venue or just wanting a place to kick it ,I fully recommend the Icehouse. I am looking forward to our next show Dec 10th.
elviscam wrote about Spring 4th
In the past 4+ years I have worked for Spring4th Center, I have had the most wonderful experiences and met some of the greatest people. When I first came into the job, I was a metal and rockabilly fan (my name is Elvis, heh) but the place has opened the doors for me in so many way by seeing some of the best unknown scenes here in Atlanta. I would never trade the past 4 years for the life I've lived and watching the center grow from a unknown underground spot to the wonderful venue it is now. It's quirky, kooky, and low-brow, but in a great way. We showcase local artisits on the wall and on the stage as well. We may not be the 1150 type of spot but we fill a much needed part of the scene. The best way to learn about what we have here is to come out. www.sprring4th.com Say hi to me if you do :)
CigarJoe wrote about Old Havana Cigar Co.
I love this place. This is one of the last places that a person can enjoy a great cigar and the company of friends without the pleasure police bothering you. They even have over 100 micro-brewery beers. Did I Say I Love this Place.
