“Would you like to sit outside?” the hostess jokingly asks us. It’s hot in Hot-lanta, around 105 degrees as we walk into Kyma. Our valet-parked car thermometer exaggerates a bit, but it’s a dry heat. We are in Mega-Buckhead, where the Buckhead Bobs and Bettys ALL do valet parking. We have a $25 gift card… Read More Kyma: 6/29/12
As we were sitting around Date Night headquarters discussing the location for tonight’s date, I happened to spy a $10 off coupon in the newspaper for Marlow’s Tavern. There is a Marlow’s about 2 miles from HQ, and we don’t usually need an excuse to pop into an East Cobb favorite. Tree huggers that we… Read More Marlow’s Tavern (Marietta): 6/22/12
It’s the one-year anniversary of the Date Night blog! We started writing about our dates at Cinco’s Mexican Cantina in Smyrna one year ago. Cinco’s is still there and so are we, but at 50 readers a week, who knows how long this will last. If we were a TV show, we would have been… Read More Yard House: 6/15/12
Sometimes Date Night goes just as we planned it, other times we have to ad-lib, just like in the TV business. It’s CNN’s 32nd birthday and we are working without a script. Our rundown begins with a trip to Der Biergarten for pre-show beers and soft pretzels. When we arrive there at 3:45PM, we are… Read More Ted’s Montana Grill: 6/1/12
Date night returns and tonight we are feeling a little Cheeky! Cheeky just opened its third location in the Avenue at East Cobb. It’s about 2 miles from Date Night HQ so we thought we would take our solo offspring, now home from college, and check it out. We can’t remember what Cheeky used to… Read More Cheeky: 5/25/12
Friday Date Night Date Night goes on the road to celebrate a momentous occasion! Before the main event we have time to unwind after a busy work week and share a beer at a favorite spot. In downtown Athens, GA there is a plethora of possibilities when choosing a spot for alcoholic refreshment. We like… Read More Five and Ten (Athens): 4/20/12
Date night number 25 goes for a double dip of fun as we hit the square in Decatur for a mini “pub crawl”. Join us for two scoops of good, and we don’t even eat ice cream! When on the square in Decatur, you must visit The Brick Store. This is only our second visit,… Read More The Brick Store/No. 246: 3/30/12
A few weeks ago, when we were having Date Night beers at the Highland Tap, we saw an interesting boast on their menu that they had the “best burger in Atlanta”. We did not eat the burgers there, but it got us to wondering who really did have the best burger in the city. When… Read More Flip Burger: 3/2/12
“We have nine pizzas on the menu,” the woman at the counter says to us. “You can’t change the ingredients on any of them because they are all perfect.” That boast starts out Date Night as we hit Atlanta’s hottest pizzeria. The local paper loves this place and we have two glowing recommendations (thanks, Luis… Read More Antico Pizza: 2/24/12
Date Night goes trendy and for our 20th edition, we visit Little Five Points. Some things never change, and we can report that the area is still a hotbed of hippies, hipsters, hustlers, hussies, harpies, the homeless, hookers and hookahs. In just one evening, we get to observe and interact with many. One of our… Read More The Porter Beer Bar: 2/17/12
It is said that one of the challenges of eating at Ormsby’s is actually finding the place. It’s a fun hunt and you feel really good when you accomplish the feat. There is no sign, but there is a sense of satisfaction when you push open the door with the fancy “O” on it. We… Read More Ormsby’s 2/10/12
It’s a rainy night in Georgia, but that doesn’t stop Date Night from heading over to Virginia-Highlands in search of a good time. Our destination is Murphy’s, an Atlanta institution and a restaurant where we hope our local readers have visited at least once. We ate here last April on a date night, as we… Read More Murphy’s: 1/20/12
