Negril Village

Had lunch at this cute spot in Midtown today.  Negril Village opened 2 years ago and specializes in Jamaican Food.  This former firehouse built in 1907 has lots of white marble tables and a patio outside and upstairs.  We really enjoyed the great food and the service.  We had the Jerk Chicken wings as an appetizer and pan seared salmon with sweet potatoes and a bourbon sauce.  I spoke with the server who said they also have a Tuesday-Friday Happy Hour downstairs with rum punch specials.   I will be back to check out the Weekend Brunch with bottomless mimosas!

Beef Jerky Bar???

Wandered into Biltong Bar at Ponce City Market recently and was very surprised/excited/impressed. This South African snacks bar has great ambiance with huge windows and bar seating overlooking Ponce and part of the Beltine.  Great music selection and craft cocktail menu.  Perfect place to unwind and have a "Something Something DANGER ZONE" or a "See You Space Cowboy".  Check out the beef jerky menu and definitely have the red bean hummus!

Herban Fix - Vegan Kitchen

I absolutely loved this place! It is located in Midtown across from the Bank of America building on Peachtree (right by North Ave). Pan-Asian dishes using strictly vegan, plant-based ingredients served in open, contemporary digs.  They have a gluten free menu as well.  I have had the mushroom steak, scallion pancake appetizer, spring rolls and also the veggie curry.  Both were phenom.  It is about time Atlanta got a yummy vegan restaurant (in a cool space with bar and private room to boot).  I also think their carrot cake might be one of the best I have had.  A must try.  Try it and let me know what you think!
