After a week of eating like I was 24 again I can let you all know I will be working out everyday moving forward. However, to start my summer I went out for dinner during Buckhead Restaurant Week. I picked FLIP which by far is a favorite of mine. It's Wednesday night in Atlanta it's hot and sunny and what did I need well of course a burger and shake. Go no where else but FLIP in Buckhead. We walked right in before the rush of dinner and sat out on the patio. I ordered a new drink they have for summer (they have a new menu for each season) a Peach Sangria it was sweet and so cool. I loved it served with an over flow of dry ice for a smoke effect I loved every sip. 
We started with the fried app sampler. It has vodka battered Onion rings, sweet potato tater tots and French fries. And of course all the sauces you may need. My favorite is the Blue Cheese foam.
My date ordered the Chorizo burger with a fried egg on top. I decided to order the burger of the month it's a beef burger stuffed with MAC n Chz and topped with collard greens. The sweet of the cheese and the sour of the greens have it a great combo of flavor. I loved every bite.
To finish off we ordered Shakes. Now so you know if you are on Foursquare and check in on it you can get a FREE that's right a FREE shake. I got the Captin Crunch it's my favorite salty and sweet so perfect. My date ordered the Krispy Cream I have to say it was pretty dang yummy too! All In all you can't go wrong with this place for a burger and a great drink. Stop by! And check in on Foursquare!
Now to keep it going we went out on Thursday night to a new place call Urbana they are located in West Midtown a new spot in town that is growing with food and entertainment. 
If you are looking for some true Mexican food that isn't your day to day tex mex this is where you should go. They start you off with a sample of one of there soups. We had the beef. It was a perfect taste of Harry beef and fresh cilantro and a crunch of onion.
They have a Tapas feel so we ordered a bunch of small plates and shared. First was a banana wrapped in bacon could not go wrong with that combo. Grilled to a crisp and served w a sweet creamy sauce.
Next was an empanadas filled with beef and very fresh and tasty! The dough so perfect and light. I could have eaten both but knew that would not be a nice move.
Another highlight was the taco list a great option for ala carte a selection of fish meat chicken and pork. There was also a veggie for you 'no face' people.
Soft shell tacos fresh tortilla and ingredients you can pick a couple and share.
We finished our meal with a pana cotta that was a special treat! You can tell chef has a feel for textures and flavors! A strawberry pure over it and some fresh mint. I could not get enough of it.
Now some secrets ... The Mole' is great I asked for a small sample and honestly would have ordered a container of it to take home so order it! And the margaritas are light and fresh not to sweet and the spicy one is very good perfect for a hot night! 
Stop in and take a seat on the patio or at the bar and enjoy the New Mexican food in Atlanta! I sure did.
