Malias Mug Llc
I had a mocha, and even being a mocha snob, I loved it. I don't know who their roasters are, but it was good good espresso. I sat down inside, and I loved the vibe, and decor. Big comfy couch, or also, chairs and tables to sit at, it was cozy. It was cold outside when I went, (last December i think) but inside was nice and warm. The staff was friendly, and I think on top of offering drinks, they offered food, like sandwiches as well. I saw posters and flyers for open mic nights too, which is always fun to come and watch. I recommend Malia's mug!

Winchester Woodfire Grill
I was treated to this restaurant on 3 occasions now. There was one time when the Spinach/cheese with chip Appet. came out later than the meal, but they removed it from our tab, so that didn't turn out so bad. The food is pricey, but I think it's pretty good. However, i think the best part is the atmosphere. It's very relaxing being there, like in a lodge in wyoming or colorado. We call it the "mini-vacation" I had the same server on 2 occasions and he was great, big guy, brown hair and glasses, about 27 years old or so, i don't remember his name (james??) anyhow, he was really great, not too pushy, not too slack, just right. I recommend this place to anyone who's got the dough to spend.

Mjq Concourse
that was a stupid title, but seriously, how can you not like MJQ. It used to be more locals only 'underground' (literally and figuratively), but now they have become better known. Back in the day (like 1999) i had a roommate/friend who spun there on weekends, Dwayne, which is when i had my first experience there. In some ways i think it's a shame they are becoming better known in town... People who have no business being in a good spot like this, just complain about it later. Part of the reason I like it so much is it reminds me of Berlin. It's the one truely underground spot in Atlanta, where you can dance stupid, have a good time, and the crowd is better than some super cheese posh place like ...what was the name of that retarded club...'Eleven-50'?? god that place was boring! ( i had a friend that actually took a job bar-backing there, and it sucked) the guys there (at 11-50) all just wanted to get laid, and the girls were dressed like they were about to attend one of their soroity meetings, or on their way to Cancun for spring break.. MJQ is the way to go if you're one of those that likes it real, hold the drama, and hold the extra cologne. It ISN'T the kind of place you go if you have on a trendy pink side-ways top you bought at "forever 21"and high heels, chances are if that's your style, they don't really want you underground anyhow. Break out the classic chuck-taylor converse and you'll be better off. MJQ isn't about sitting down and being the wall flower that never removes herself, it's about having a good time, like going to a house party, but with a dance floor, and a full bar. : ) ... in Berlin they have these clubs similar to MJQ,... one is a boat on a canal off the Spree river, the boat is all dilapidated, but it's real cool, and it's kinda a reggae club. The other thing they do is sometimes load sound equipment into a S-Bahn train at night, and start a party as the train goes around town... totally illegal, but so much fun.

Counter Culture Coffee
They roast really good coffee/espresso beans. I think this crew really takes their time with what they are doing, and so far the people I've met there have been good, down-to-earth, knowledgeable people, that have a passion for good coffee. I love that they are fair trade only, and help to raise awareness for others. They have done an amazing job training coffee shop owners and Barista's on the art of making good quality drinks, and they do it with a smile. Special thanx to them, for heightening my awareness, and sparking a bigger interest with me. They produce the best coffee I have ever had.

Sweet Lime
It isn't my favorite Sushi place as far as quality, but... that's not to say the quality is bad, because it isn't. It's actually pretty good sushi, and the location is great. I like places you can walk to as oposed to driving to, and this spot is right in Little 5pts. They're always playing good musik, and I've always had friendly service. (but there was this one time that the waitress we had was kinda flighty, and some of the food we never even got, i think she might have been on pain pills, so you never know the scoop there, although it looked like she was limping some too) I definately recommend Sweet Lime, great place to start the night off, and kind romantic too.

Sacred Heart Tattoo Inc
I had Vivan do two small tattoo's for me, at two different times, and I have no regrets. The ink on both still look great, and I had a good experience both times. My only advice to anyone getting a tattoo is eat something before you go, and bring a coke or a candy bar with you to snack on, specifically if you have a tendency towards being anemic. (by the way Vivan, 'great catch') Funny story. --The guys there are great, and Sacred Heart has a lot of talent behind their doors, I reccomend them to anyone. :)

Soul Kiss Imports
I love this store because it's got such a great eclectic blend of items, candles, furniture, all kinds of decor. I even bought a cute pair of shoes there that I could wear around to the store, that were from India. India in fact has always been a big passion of mine, I love the colors, and patterns and style, and Soul Kiss has always been a great place to pick up just those kinds of items. Plus, it always smell so great in the shop!

Java Lords Coffee House
I love the neighborhood, I love the Cafe atmosphere, and I love their coffee. I had a great Iced mocha, and in the past I've had great drip coffee, and hot mochas here. It's in Little 5pts. in Atlanta, off Euclid. I think it has free wifi... pretty sure i saw that sticker on the door, and they play really good music inside. The staff has always been very nice, and laid back, and the crowd is the same. I really like this cafe, right down to the art on the walls!

Psycho Sisters
I took some clothes to another spot like this once, and apparently they thought my taste sucked... although many of the items still had price tags, and were cool enough. I went to Psycho Sisters though, and they loved the stuff. I guess it was more urban items as opposed to polo shirts, and gap items, so they enjoyed the vintage "aardvarks sanfrancisco" shirt that was in the bunch, and bought up a lot of my skirts and odd jewlery and belts. A very eclectic store, and the girl at the counter was really nice, and even gave me a tip of coming back down in the fall and she'd be interested in some of the jackets i had brought (i was there in spring) I got a fair deal for a trade in value, and I got some new stuff, it was great. I love the little 5 pts. neighborhood, as it used to be my own, and I'll always support the local businesses. This one is great. I know now they have a few locations, but this is the only one I've had a chance to go to, but I'm sure the others are just as good.

Grant Central Pizza & Pasta
I have some friends that have a house just down the road from this spot, so my friend Angela and I went one night and ate waaay too much pizza and salad. The experience was great as far as atmosphere, and lighting, and the pizza was really really good. I didn't eat a salad, but my friend did. Later she got really really sick, and ended up having food poisoning, of some sort, which we're pretty sure was from her salad, since we had gotten a medium pizza which we shared and i never got sick. It was the first thing and only thing she had eaten that day, so we think the lettuce must have been bad. It's a shame she got sick from it, cause it's a good spot, and I like it. She'll never go back though she says, because she wonders how the food is kept. I think sometimes things like this can happen though, and it was a rare thing for that restaurant I'm sure. I still would recommend it.
