Who would have thought I would be such a regular patron of the Atlanta symphony?!? Since my first review, I have frequented many a symphony concert, including several with special guest stars both at the Woodruff and at Chastain (Idina Menzel, Patti…More »

My 300th review! I've been to several Atlanta Ballet performances over the last 2 seasons that I've been in Atlanta, all of which were performed at the Cobb Energy Centre.

Gorgeous theater (some type of Mediterranean-inspired architecture- see others' Yelp reviews for more accurate descriptions!), great acoustics, sprawling balcony (not steep but there ARE stairs), unobstructed balcony view, pretty plentiful leg room…More »
Chastain is picturesque (feels like it's in the woods, or someone's woodsy backyard) but because it's tucked away in a Buckhead neighborhood, there are expensive tickets, inconvenient parking (tiny lots far away if you don't have a pass, lots of…More »
I really like this venue- it's clean, it's organized, and it doesn't take forever to get out of the parking areas. Your ticket come with a free parking voucher (nice!)- I've parked in both Lots A and B. It's a bit of a walk from Lot B, which is…More »
Nice place to catch a show.
Pros:
Convenient location off I-75
Box office- convenient hours & the temporary parking out front for those who want to avoid all the extra taxes & fees
Spacious and comfy seating with lots of leg room
Good sightlines
Nice…More »
Went to the Phillips Arena for the Hawks home opener against the Wizards...I've also been there before for a Thrashers game, and a Dream game so a bit of variety. It's a large arena with good sense of traffic flow, despite the size of the crowd.…More »

Great place to listen to acoustic music- really chill relaxed atmosphere. It's an intimate, quiet "listening room" once the music starts so you can focus on the music.
A little cozy- the tables and chairs are very close to each other so if your table…More »
Nice intimate space for a concert, good acoustics, low ticket prices, big bar. Wish there were more tall pub tables and chairs along the middle & back of the room...low tables don't work when there are people standing in your way. I saw Wakey Wakey…More »
Great little theatre- I came here for the musical "See what I Wanna See", which was a good production of the original off-Broadway hit. It was adapted well to the small space in their theater, and the acting troupe was eager to attack the material.

Saw Theatersports improv show a couple times with different improv-ers...a great time and authentically funny! Dad's Garage has an organic, slapped together type of feel with volunteers who staff the place. Cheap beers, snacks & beverages are a…More »

A nice medium sized theater- acoustics and sightlines were great from where I sat (middle of orchestra). I was here to see Sondheim's Into the Woods- the stage was a quirky, dark & elaborate set that fit the "fairy-tales-gone-awry" storyline of the…More »

Smaller theater housed next to Miller Union restaurant- another great independent theater option in Atlanta! The theater seating is auditorium seats in bleacher formation. Our tickets were general admission (so get here early to get your choice of…More »
Convenient, spacious, comfy stadium seating, good sound, decent validated parking if you can find a space. I had dinner ahead of time so I didn't partake in the overpriced concession stand food.
Movies are expensive and I don't go very often...when…More »
This movie theater needs to learn a bit about crowd flow and management. It has 24 screens and a gigantic parking lot, you would think it knew that there would be large crowds of people coming in and out of this place.
I came here for a special…More »
Inman Park/Old 4th Ward (25)Inman Park and Old Fourth Ward! Trying out all the places near where I live...love this neighborhood. |
Making myself pretty (or at the very least- not scary) (10)I don't wake up looking like this...I gotta work at it. OK, not "work" per se, more like "pay" for it. |
Decatur (9)Tons of great places to eat & imbibe...all within walking distance of a square. |
Tastes of the Far East (20)Asian restaurants in Atlanta- I'm slowly compiling reviews from all the Asian restaurants I've tried in Atlanta- Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc...no 5-stars yet but plenty of 2-3-4 star places. |
Carbo Loading- Italian Style (Atlanta) (9)Italian dining in Atlanta has made me a little gun shy...while I love Italian food, I had a couple awful Italian food experiences when I first arrived in this city and usually end up at the same 2-3 Italian places I do like...so hopefully, making a list will encourage me to try a few more restaurants out there. Here's all of what I tried (minus the pizza places). |
Desert weekend getaway (11)Arizona vacation- Quick relaxing getaway, I need to make this a regular vacation destination! |
Party of one! Dining solo (19)Places in Atlanta where I've felt comfortable dining by myself. The only requirement is that there's a bar or small tables off to the side- nice bartenders, easy parking and good people watching areas also are a plus. For me personally, It's also nice to have no judgment or people staring if I want to order multiple dishes to try and bring leftovers home :) |
Restaurants to bring out-of-towners (14)Here's where I've brought family & friends visiting from out of town, who want some type of Atlanta food experience |
Being a tourist in Atlanta (13)I moved to Atlanta 2 years ago but I still enjoy exploring the city like a tourist. |
Dim Sum Quest- Atlanta (8)UPDATE: Found great dim sum!!!! See my last review on the list for Golden House.Original list description: I've pretty much given up on this one...I don't think great dim sum exists in Atlanta (especially a la carte and to go) so I'll have to settle for just good dim sum. |
