  • There's A New Swirl in Town

     I’d been told that people are passionate about Pinkberry. But to stand in line for an hour and a half in the heat for a free scoop? Well that’s what they were doing for hours last night at the opening of Atlanta’s first Pinkberry location.

    Less than five years ago, the folks at Pinkberry set out to sell their proprietary formula of premium frozen yogurt with fresh-fruit toppings. Now with locations across the country, the company has attracted legions of fans. Lots of celebrities have jumped on the Pinkberry bandwagon including Rob Lowe, Simon Crowell and Megan Fox who celebrated her birthday there.

  • Let's Do Lunch - Fast and Delicious Options

    Lunch for me usually consists of leftovers, or on the days I work at Travelgirl, a hastily assembled sandwich eaten at my desk. So I'm always pretty happy to actually go out to lunch. Or at least have other hands than my own make me a sandwich.

    Here are just a few spots to check out for lunch:

    Brookhaven Bistro

    It took me a few minutes to find this little gem of a place, tucked behind Nuts 'N Berries on Peachtree Street. It also happens to be directly on my way to Travelgirl so is perfect for those days when I am in the mood to just pick something up. It bills itself as Brookhaven's healthy restaurant, and serves fresh breakfast and lunch items. You'll find black beans and rice, chicken salad and burritos made with fresh, organic ingredients. The most expensive lunch item is just $9.50, broiled wild Alaska salmon served over brown rice with seasonal vegetables, a meal that would set you back at least twice that at a fancy tablecloth restaurant. I really enjoyed my black bean soup and chicken salad sandwich (the 1/2 and 1/2 for just $6.95.) Check it out when you'll looking for a convenient and healthy option for lunch. 4272 Peachtree Road, 404-846-2345.

    A blanket and a comfy pillow are all you need to enjoy these films in Atlanta this summer, presented free of charge. The stars are up above as well as on the screen at these two outdoor summer film series.

     

    Screen on the Green

     

    The popular film series has moved back to Piedmont Park after a move to Centennial Olympic Park while Piedmont took a break from festivals to recover from the severe drought.

     

    These films are shown on the huge lawn in Piedmont Park and you are welcome to bring your own food and alcohol. Just leave the glass containers, dogs and high-backed chairs behind. Presented in partnership with Peachtree TV, each film starts with music from local DJs and performances from local artists.

     

    The series started last week and continues through June 24, with the film beginning at sunset. Here is the schedule for the remaining films:
