Best Place to see Santa in Atlanta

After going to a few malls around town I have to say I really like the Ponce City Market Santa setting.  There was no line, no cost and the Elves were really "giving it their all".   They stayed in character the whole time.  I like their retro makeup and lit up hover boards as well.   Stop by and check them out.  Another tip:  parking is free for 30 minutes in a designated spot.

Last Word in Inman Park/ Old 4th Ward

                               

Last Word is a cute spot on the corner of Sampson and Highland Avenue that has cocktails and food with Middle Eastern and Mediterranean influences.  They have a yummy glass of Sancerre and a great tagliatelle pasta with mushrooms.  I also just realized they have a happy hour special, which is even more of a reason to stop by and see them:

Last Word Classic Cocktail Hour

Love this Soup

Soup season is upon us and this one at Harry and Sons was a little discovered gem.  Harry and Sons is located in Virginia Highland and has Thai and Japanese (they have sushi!) food.  My friend who move here from LA said "Why is this so cheap?"  My answer is "Shhhhh!"  Try the Spicy Seafood Soup for $6.50:  Fresh squid, mussels, shrimp, scallions, and fresh ginger in a spicy broth.  So yummy.

Staplehouse

This new spot is a reservation only restaurant in the Edgewood area.  From their website:

Staplehouse is Atlanta's first restaurant on TOCK’s ticketing system. Making a reservation for dinner at Staplehouse is a lot like buying a concert ticket.

Staplehouse is a small space and we want to create an intimate environment for our guests. Ticketing allows us to anticipate who is coming in and to give our guests an all-encompassing experience at the best price possible.

When booking a table, you’ll be asked to select your party size, date and time, and pay in advance for your multi-course dinner.

We only take reservations for the dining room. If you’re joining us on the patio or at the bar, no need to purchase a ticket.
