Alacrity

Work was completely bearable today. Not only did I get some new assignments, but we spent most of the day talking about where we would all go to dinner tonight (three separate dinner groups). I know MelissaLisa will have been everywhere, but for those who might happen through ATL sometime, here's a compilation of our suggestions:

Eclipse Di Luna (recommended by me, Becky)- Tapas, limited selection, but cool. Major bonus points from me because it's hard to find and therefore feels exclusive.

Fratelli's (Becky)- Italian, cozy. I need to try this place.

Joe's on Junipers (Becky) - burger joint. Citysearch says the atmosphere is great. I'll try it when the weather is nice and I can get on the patio.

Einstein's (me)- same owners as Joes, Einstein's is slightly nicer/more expensive. We had lunch on the bar side which was too swank for words.

Twists (Rebecca, me)- Sushi and Tapas. Way loud, but the sushi is good and the martinis (if you're not forced to be a t-totaler like me) are reasonably priced.

Front Page News (me)- New Orleans inspired, go on a night when you can take advantage of the patio. Have the muffaletta.

Cafe Tu Tu Tango (Rebecca, Becky, me)- Tapas, very cool. Best for big groups.

Doc Chey's Noodle House (Rebecca)- apparently I'm committing some sort of crime having never gone here.

Noche (Rin, Rebecca)- In the Virginia-Highlands (probably means nightmare parking) - Citysearch says the southwestern fare is not so good, but personal recommendations say otherwise.

Nickiemoto's (who doesn't recommend this place?)- Sushi, cool. Parking is not pretty, but Midtown has some obliging neighborhood streets. if you're not a straight male, try Monday night's Drag Show. Good times had by all, packed with boys and girls (but not a single boy with a girl).
