• Right side of the TRAX

    Monday, June 16th, 2008

    Tah dah!
    I think I went to a new restaurant that only the few know. Nestled back on Pulaski Street, Trax Cafe is the new inhabitant of the front of the Leathers Building. I had heard a couple of people say they went there, and I suggested we venture there as an office on [...]

  • Quick Trip to Black Forest Bakery

    Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

    This is a short post, but at least I have one up (for all my friends who have been complaining…).
    I quickly ran to the Black Forest Bakery for lunch after my doctors appointment today before going back to work. I had never been there before, but I had heard raving reviews about the donuts [...]

  • Big City Bread's New Web site

    Friday, May 16th, 2008

    Thank goodness, Big City Bread has come out from under its sketchy little hole.
    I feel like they’ve been hiding under a rock since they stopped their commercial bakery, but I think they’re back in business now!
    I found their new Web site: www.bigcitybreadcafe.com today, and it’s great!  The menu, bakery options and catering options are all [...]

  • My first trip to Mama's Boy.

    Thursday, May 15th, 2008

    Whenever I hear about Mama’s Boy, comments are always accompanied by positive comments, rave reviews and dialogue along the lines of, “Ohmygosh you’ve never been there?! Well, we’re going to have to fix that.”
    To celebrate Lizzie Azzolino’s first day at Jackson Spalding, our little crew decided to go to Mama’s Boy for lunch.
    Before I [...]

  • Add Drug- A Wonderful Athens Secret

    Sunday, April 20th, 2008

    Think Andy Griffith. Think Mayberry. Think townies. Think local gossip. Think chocolate milkshakes. Think pimento cheese hamburger.
    Now, go to Add Drug.
    If you remember those old lunch counter places where locals come to grab a cup of coffee, visit and eat
    some good food, you will appreciate the nostalgia that arises when [...]

  • To the Bluebird Cafe Once More

    Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

    After pancakes on Saturday, Dad and I decided to go for brunch after church to the Bluebird Cafe.
    I’ve posted about it before, and I think my favorite part is still their biscuits. I’ve never had anything like them! Huge, whole wheat, thick…you can’t get much better.
    I wanted quiche on Sunday morning, but the [...]

  • Dad, Pancakes and The Grill- a Perfect Saturday

    Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

    This past weekend, my Dad came to Athens for the Father-Daughter Weekend with my sorority. I was actually in charge of planning it, and I wanted the whole weekend to be an optimal opportunity for Dads to visit with their daughters and their friends. So, everything we did tried to imitate something you [...]

  • What took me so long?

    Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

    Big City Bread has been a favorite of mine since I went there two years ago.
    I haven’t been back there since the end of the school year last year, and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to go!
    Nestled in between Prince Avenue and Broad Street under a little web of twinkle lights, this [...]
