Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
One of my favorite restaurants at home (we’re talkin top 3 here) is Bonna Bella. As a family not only from a Lowcountry/river town but whose home is actually on said river, we don’t like to stray from the water and dining is no exception. You can get to Bonna Bella by car or boat (more…

Lulu’s Chocolate Bar is a great downtown Savannah spot that always gathers a line. For good reason. The desserts are fabulous and going out for sweets and cocktails is a great way to end the night when you’re not quite ready to go home but don’t want to really go out. My parents and I…

After weeks of crazy, I latched onto a week with few plans and didn’t let go. Sure, I have a happy hour planned tonight and a concert/night out on Saturday, but that’s far more relaxing than the last few weeks. For sanity’s sake, I promised myself I wouldn’t add anything else to the schedule. I’ve…

The homemade pasta is what propels them into the superior Italian stratosphere and their sauces keep them there. I ordered one of the daily specials but tasted everybody’s…

I know Jen was upset to leave New York, but she, Matt, and Avery have made themselves a beautiful life in Atlanta. They told me one thing that eased the transition was seeing how close they were to Buford Highway. Buford Highway is a sketchy area, but one that’s worth visiting if you want authentic…

I had planned a trip to Georgia for the Ole Miss game and some hanging out with my Atlanta friends, but I was worried that I wouldn’t make it out due to Hurricane Sandy. I was worried about getting to the airport so I left about four hours before my flight. Because the city was…

I’m much prefer pie over cake, and I don’t discriminate when it comes to meat vs. sweet, which is why I was thrilled to discover Dangerously Delicious on a night out in DC this weekend. It’s open until 3:30 AM, making it the perfect place to fuel up late night before going dancing at Rock…
