The New World of Coca Cola

 
The New World of Coca Cola is located right next door to the Georgia Aquarium in midtown Atlanta. I got more than I bargained for during my trip there. I especially enjoyed the 4D theater. A 4D Theater incorporates the 3D visuals with other senses. At the New World of Coca Cola, the chairs bucked […]

Hot dogs at the Varsity

T is for tasty hot dogs! Eating hot dogs at the Varsity should be a mandatory experience, if you like hot dogs, that is. The Varsity is both a tourist attraction and a tradition in Atlanta. The hot dogs are said to be the best in the city. Yes. They are good, and addictive, […]

The Shakespeare Tavern

The Shakespeare Tavern is the perfect place to go if you enjoy plays, love Shakespeare, and want to do something a little different. I like the fact that you can eat as the play is […]

Dinner at the Geisha House

The Geisha House in Atlantic Station was not at all what I expected. I envisioned Geisha fluttering throughout the restaurant, wearing elaborate kimonos and pouring tea.
I thought that I’d hear soft music, the type you hear while floating off to sleep, during a relaxing massage. I read Memoirs of a Geisha, after all. So, […]

Weekend at Brasstown Valley

The best things about Brasstown Valley resort in Young Harris, Georgia were  the food and the views. The resort is approximately three hours from Atlanta.

Five Guys Gets Five Stars

I recently grabbed a burger and fries at Five Guys Restaurant, a chain that’s famous for its huge burgers and yummy fries. The burgers are handmade from actual patties, not the pre-made ones that you get at other restaurants. The fries were well-seasoned and appeared to be made from actual rustic potatoes, though they […]

Imagine being high up on a giant mountain. The air is nippy, but you don’t mind the chill. A huge wooden cross is there to remind you while you are there.  Then you see the glow of the sun rising and pouring color into the sky like orange lava. All is well. That’s […]
