Pianos.
Yes, yes, I’m completely aware that I’ve been absent for something like 6 months, but understand that single girls are also often busy girls! As we enter into December, there are so many awesome events in and around town that I look forward to covering, but in the meantime, I’d like to spotlight the pros of a fast-growing trend: bar-sitting. Many of you are thinking, “I heard people are doing this, but I really prefer to sit across from my friends to talk to them”. Yes, it can be a little louder and slightly less “intimate”, but you aren’t on a date, and bar-sitting definitely has its perks.
For instance, recently my friend, Jenny and I decided to grab dinner at Carrabba’s. Nothing new. Everyone loves Carrabba’s and, hey, you’re going to wait a bit to be seated. However, when we got there, they offered to take us to the bar, and upon my very passive, “I don’t care”, we were off. At first I wasn’t sure what to think, but I quickly decided this was a great thing.
Ladies, if you’re looking to drink some wine but you don’t want to end up too tipsy, ordering a quartino is a great solution to split with your gal pal. It’s a full glass per person, and costs only a few dollars more. As there were only two of us, we did just that. We decided on a half order of calamari, which ended up being more than enough because one of the best parts of sitting at the bar is the proximity to the chef(s)! Fresh mozarella sticks, on the house? Don’t mind if we do!
Free, delicious, food just for sitting close to the kitchen and looking pretty? I’ll take it!
Watching the chefs prepare your (and others’) food definitely provides extra entertainment. And, if something does go wrong - like a salad goes missing, or you need extra dressing - it gets fixed instantly!
Of course the entrees are awesome, hot, and fresh, as always; plus, you’re never surprised by the timing of your food, which (believe it or not) the chefs notice. There is a more controlled rhythm in the preparation and serving of your dishes.
We also got free dessert shooters! Not too much, and just the right amount of sweet to satisfy your after-dinner cravings and make you say “yum!”.
All in all? Great idea, especially if you’re starving after all those hours of holiday shopping and want a quick bite to eat, while still enjoying your favorite food.
Up next I’ll have some holiday cocktails, perfect for guests when you’re hosting your upcoming parties with flair and style!
Between packing, moving, and work, there has been little to no time to go exploring around Atlanta. However, as this past weekend was my birthday, I did have the opportunity to check out Two Urban Licks. This place is awesome; it has it all: ambiance, great food, even a bocce ball court outside. Unique, beautiful, fun; even the bathrooms are worth writing home about. Here’s the breakdown:
Apologies for my absence!
Newest review is on Flip downtown. I will begin this review by saying this is a place you go for ambiance. The food is very trendy and unique, but is in no way comfort food. The TVs double as mirrors, and the booths are the same upside down as right-side up; this is definitely a fun place.
The breakdown:
I’m starting to get some suggestions on where to review, which is awesome! If you have a place in mind you’d like me to check out, email me at: singleinthesocialscene@gmail.com
Thanks for the feedback!
Tonight I checked out The Gravity Pub in Atlanta. Total dive bar. If you are sensitive or allergic to smoke, I do not recommend this place, as everyone smokes (including the bartenders) and the very small space is clouded with cigarette smoke.
Here’s the breakdown:
Verdict: Nothing to write home about
This week after a day of driving all over the Metro-Atlanta area, I decided to try Cans Taqueria, a little restaurant in Milton (GA).
Here’s the breakdown:
Verdict: Great Find!
