Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity. ~Voltaire
Atlanta, Georgia is a foodie's city. Gone are the days, for being known only for southern staples, like cornbread and sweet tea. Do not fret, honey child, Atlanta still has plenty southern cooking establishments however, more diverse restaurants are gaining ground and collecting awards. Some of the best steak houses, Italian, Indian, Greek, fusion this, that and the third can be found in this southern city.
Do you have the taste for good American food, with a little trendy flare? You must visit Two Urban Licks. TWO is located within the downtown Atlanta area. The building is raw and edgy. The lighting is low and moody. If you plan on eating there on the weekend, call and make a reservation. TWO has been an Atlanta hot spot for quite some time so, prevent long waits and plan ahead.
Two Urban Licks is set up where the kitchen is in the middle of the restaurant. The smell of wood fire grills fill the air. You can request a seat, at the bar, around the kitchen. Watching the chef and staff work their magic is a TWO highlight. The menu has small plates and are great for sharing. There are also plenty of entrees and salads.
Make your reservation and let me know what you think? Or, is TWO already your favorite?? Please share your experience.
Happy Dining!!!

29 Spa at The Mansion on Peachtree
29 Spa at The Mansion on Peachtree
3376 Peachtree Rd. N.E.
Atlanta, Georgia 30326

Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are. ~Chinese Proverb
Who does not love a visit to the spa? I mean, you walk in and immediately are hit with that smell of sandalwood and/or lavender. You hear chimes, ocean waves or trance-like water noises coming from the speaker system. All of these sensory treats are there to trigger your body to slow down and turn off that cell phone. For a moment, you are allowed to forget about what was said in last week's meeting or that email sitting in your draft box. A spa day is all about you, you and oh yes, YOU!!! Are you ready to book that appointment?? Allow me to assist you in selecting a perfect spot of zen.
Atlanta is home to one of the top spas in the country. The 29 Spa is located on the third floor, inside The Mansion on Peachtree.
Redefining skin and body care, 29 was created by Lydia Mondavi, a fifth-generation Atlanta native, to embody the enterprising American spirit, the magnificent colors reflected in every season and the mystery and luxury that is Napa Valley. With the opening of 29 Spa at The Mansion on Peachtree, skin care and understanding come together in a spa experience that combines beautiful benefits with the blissful art of relaxation and expert care. - from the 29 Spa website
The 29 Spa is designed so you are not rushed in and out. When (not if) you book your appointment, give yourself at least an hour before and afterwards, to enjoy the complimentary amenities. Even if you are not an overnight guest, your spa appointment gives you access to the hotel gym and pool. Imagine a 50 or 80 minute massage after a great workout. Not in the mood for much action, have a seat in the sauna, steam room or hot tub and sip a glass of orange water or the complimentary wine before your mani/pedi.
Have you blocked off that time to visit? You are living an A-List Lifestyle and deserve a little luxurious pampering. I promise, you will leave the 29 Spa and feel renewed, refreshed and ready for the world.
**A-List Tip - So busy that you have been neglecting friends and unable to catch up with chit-chat?? Take your bff with you to the 29 Spa.
Happy Spa Day!!!

The Ritz Carlton Buckhead-Atlanta
The Ritz Carlton
3434 Peachtree Rd
Atlanta, Georgia 30326
(From the Ritz Carlton Buckhead website)
The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead is setting the standard for elegance. With impeccable attention to detail, each of The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead hotel’s luxurious rooms and suites are inspired by the timeless appeal of Southern gardens and provide guests with an exceptional array of amenities. Located in the city’s finest neighborhood, this Atlanta-Buckhead hotel is four miles from Midtown’s cultural epicenter and nightlife.
In the mood for old school luxury and southern decadence? Make a reservation at the Ritz Carlton Buckhead in Atlanta. As soon as you pull up to the front door, you are greeted with poised valet, ready to get you started on your stay. The lobby is covered in rich wood grains and classic furniture. Stop for a second...look around and take in the elegance of the layout. Adjust your shades on top of your head and embrace your VIP-ness.
The guests rooms are lush and equipped with everything you will need during your stay. Whether it is wi-fi, nightly turn down service or the signature plush robe, the Ritz amenities are enough to make you hide out in your room all day. However, that is impossible since the property is literally, in between two of the best shopping locations in Atlanta; Phipps Plaza and Lenox Mall.
Ok, so here is my favorite part of the Ritz Carlton Buckhead... afternoon tea!!! Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!!! If you have never taken the time and enjoyed a proper afternoon, I strongly suggest you add it to your "to do" list.
And because I have the best friends on the planet, my Ritz Carlton tea time was a full out, bridal tea party. It was absolutely fabulous. My guests and I enjoyed our private, afternoon tea decked out in big hats, pearls and pretty dresses. The tea servers were amazing and our personalized menu was full of teas, savory bites and delicious sweets. The experience was priceless and the location was classic.
*A-List tip - Request a corner room, facing Peachtree Road. The views are amazing and you get a little more space. Also, make sure you take afternoon tea!!!
Happy travels!!!

TWELVE - Atlantic Station, Atlanta, Georgia
TWELVE Atlantic Station®
361 17th Street NW
Atlanta, Georgia 30363
p: 404.961.1212
From the TWELVE website:
TWELVE Atlantic Station lets you relax and decide. Soaring 26-stories into the midtown skyline, this stylish boutique destination blends contemporary condominium-style lodging with a unique approach to hospitality – simple, clean, and comfortable.
My friends and I LOVE TWELVE Atlantic Station. It is our favorite Atlanta staycation location. The all-suite hotel is located in Atlantic Station, a live/work/play community. Steps away from the lobby door is everything you need: food, entertainment and shopping.
A girlfriend getting married??? We instantly make bridal shower plans and book a suite at TWELVE. The suites are large enough to host those in-towners and those visiting from other cities. The entertaining designed kitchen is spacious enough to hold those late night giggles and good times. As the sun sets or after midnight, we take the conversations out to the balcony and enjoy that Atlanta skyline view.
If you are interested in socializing outside your circle, head downstairs to the LOBBY at TWELVE. Any Friday or Saturday night, you will find LOBBY packed with Atlanta's chic and trendy socialites. Stay focused, you never know what local or out-of-town celeb you may spot hanging out at TWELVE.
*A-List tip - Ask for a city-view room, on a high floor!!
