Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 12.  If you haven’t made plans yet, there’s still time to make mom feel special (and remind her why you are her favorite child).  Here are some ideas for the last minute planners…

Beauty and Brunch in West Midtown
Treat mom to a mani/pedi at the new Apex Nail Studio then grab a bite to eat right next door.  Apex Nail Studio is located at Apex West Midtown – in the same complex as West Midtown Corner Tavern and Bone Lick BBQ – both of which are offering a delicious Mother’s Day brunch.  Park for free in the Apex lot, paint your toes, and then walk over to the restaurant that best suits your mom.   Continue reading →

Cinco de Mayo at Caramba Café – It’s pretty much a party here every night, so you can imagine the festive experience you’ll get on Cinco de Mayo.  Caramba Café, located at 349 Decatur St. downtown at the Pencil Factory Flats & Shops, will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo all weekend long with tequila specials galore.   Order food from their extensive, authentic menu (including the Paleo menu that was recently featured on TV) and you’ll have all your Cinco needs addressed.

Our tour began on a Saturday at 10:00am directly behind Parish restaurant at N. Highland Steel.  We were greeted by Kate Baltzell, education coordinator at Trees Atlanta, and Rich Sussman, Atlanta BeltLine Arboretum Docent and Central Fulton Master Gardener, who led our tour.   Roughly 20 people joined us on the tour which began on time.  Continue reading →
