Casa Mia does it again.
Last Wednesday, most of the Executive Board from PRSSA went to Casa Mia to celebrate two birthdays, our friends Leslie and Kelli.
We originally went because of an e-newsletter I received from Casa Mia about a “15 for 15″ deal where you could taste 15 wines for $15. Seeing that as a good enough incentive, we [...] -
Dinner and a Movie: Mirko Pasta and Cine
It’s been a while since my last post, but I promise this one will make up for everything.
Last night, I went with my dear friend, Anna Sexton, for a night of merryment. We started at Mirko Pasta (the Athens east side location) for dinner, and it totally made my day.
I always get nervous [...] -
For all my Tennessee kin.
In case you didn’t know, I’m originally from Morristown, Tenn., about 45 minutes from Knoxville (UT). So, that means on Friday and Saturday, all of my family (cousins, friends, parents, sister) and other UT students will be migrating down South to God’s country.
Now, I’m not going to talk about the football game because [...] -
Utage + baller lunch special= yummy!
I went to the best sushi place in Athens, Utage, with my Jackson Spalding mentor, Ashley, on Friday for lunch.
We thought it would be a relaxing, low-key Friday in downtown Athens, but we were definitely mistaken. UGA graduation was this past Saturday, so it was packed- even in the sushi joint.
Ashley and I sat at the sushi [...] -
To the Bluebird Cafe Once More
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 [...] -
Picante's is Still Good!
I hadn’t been back to Picante’s Mexican Grill since September, but it is definitely still great!
It stands apart from the other local Mexican restaurants because of the freshness of the food. When I went there last night with my girlfriends, all of us were impressed!
To start, we decided to order a pitcher of their [...] -
Friend of the Week: Meridith Ford
While this subject doesn’t really have to do with restaurants in Athens, I thought I’d share my experience interviewing the Dining Editor of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Meridith Ford.
I was assigned to interview some sort of media gatekeeper for one of my classes, so with some advice (Thanks, Bryan.), I decided to interview a reporter who [...] -
Loves it.
I’ve already talked about Five Star Day Cafe on the East side, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to brag about their downtown location.
Five Star Day has continually been a favorite of visitors, locals, students, hippies, preps, old people, families– I could keep going.
It seems like their food is the perfect combination of originality and [...] -
Hangin' out at Five Guys
I’ve been busy.
Ever since I got my recorder (or blabber-corder as they call it in the Grinch), I’ve been obsessed.
On my way to class today, I stopped by the new location of Five Guys’ (famous) Burgers and Fries on the corner of College Avenue and Broad Street. I didn’t have time to eat, but [...] -
As the French would say, "Where eez zee WEE-FEE?"
Wee-fee, wi-fi, whatever.
Where can you get Internet (and food!) in Athens?
Here’s my list. Let me know if I left anything out!
1. Border’s books in the Beechwood shopping center- It’s actually a t-mobile hotspot (that means you have to pay), but many study days there have allowed me to pick up a signal from other [...]
