Johnny's Hideaway Should Just Hide!

Now I will start with this...it was my boyfriends 40th birthday and he loves this place and while the server was great let me set the scene a little for you. Number 1 if you under the age of 50 you are no the demo for this place and the managers (by the way there are a couple) don't care for you then. The place is over stuffed with tables and chairs and little room to move, that have been in that bar since 1970.  You have to pay to valet and there is no other option. And they only take cash so prepare yourself for that one! Number 2 it turns out in this crap bar that wouldn't know an update if someone smacked them in the face with it. Including their food and drink options. They have a dress code yes I said it a dress code!! Now it's not posted on their web site...but there is a sign on the front door. Turns out you can't have writing on your shirt. Not a logo name brand nothing! Now I'm all for dress up on a night and had they stuck to this in all aspects I would respect this but...things you can wear according to the 'manager' a knock off Tommy Bahama a crop too tank too and cut off jean shorts or go for the flip flops and tank top choice my favorite is the I just got off work and sell trucks and cars at Ford or Nissian but no means can you spend money on a disigner shirt with their logo on it! My friend was told to turn it inside out...now how this makes it better I don't understand. But somehow this makes all the difference!!! When confronted about the lack of discretion with the other patrons he informed me 'he makes the rules' so 'my little friend' could flip it inside out or leave!!! After asking 2 times for him to understand that he was picking a chiding what he liked he let me know that's why he has the job. My friends left! And if it was not for the party of 15 inside we would have too! And we didn't stay long anyway the place was not all what I hoped it would be! Again the server was very nice she was sweet and on top of us. Now I will say if you have a large party you have to put a card on file and you can't have individual tabs. And because of that we did end up with a few more drinks than we should have. 
In closing the place has an old vibe with some great people watching if you want to watch creepy old guys stair at the girls and cougars hit on the young studs. If your a girl apparently wear what you want cause the mangers don't care but if you are a young guy do not I repeat do not wear a shirt with a logo or writing on it you will be turned away at the door! Sorry Johnny's it may have been my first time there but you will not see me or my money again! And with an average tab of $75 from my friends that night you will not see them either! 
And if you notice no pictures! It's cause they aren't worth the upload! Bye Johnny's! Bye!

Nuevo Laredo Cantina best Mexican in town

Nothing better on a bright and sunny afternoon than a margarita on the rocks and some good company. So this week I decided to go on an adventure and check out Nuevo Laredo Cantina located at 1495 Chattahoochee Ave NW, Atlanta, GA 30318. It's a great little hidden spot in Atlanta that has some of the best Mexican food you can find!  Walked in and got a table in the main dinning   area. Where you will find decor that is Charming and funny. Lots of pictures and some great signs! Chips and fresh salsa hit the table first. The chips are warm and salsa is fresh and spicy! The server came on and took out orders. We ordered margaritas on the rocks w salt now I will tell you the drink to order is the Cadillac margarita it's big and fantastic, but it was a week day so I went with the smaller one still as tasty just smaller!  The serve them by the glass or pitcher and prices start at $6.50.  Now I will have to let you in on a secret if mine. I have a weakness for a Chili R...

Summer Shade Festival at Grant Park

I will be very honest with each of you I had no idea this festival existed and that I had missed it for 15 years!  I am so happy for social media because of it I learn about some amazing events in and around Atlanta. For starters, I follow ATL_events on twitter (you should too) this fantastic event expert shares everything from festivals to restaurant opens to so much more. I was lucky enough to see a tweet about winning VIP tickets and by doing so I RT and WON!  We picked up our tickets Saturday and went right into the VIP area. We were provided cups for our drinks, tickets to "buy" them and a band to get us in and out of the area. There was a raffle for a patio set for $2 a ticket and we bought a couple of those too.  There was a wonderful pavilion with furniture and tables, food, beer from Monday Night  and wine from 3 Parks Wine Shop . Everything was amazing, we had a great place to relax, listen to music, co...
