Lifestyle Expert Eddie Ross Comes to Atlanta

New Year celebrations continue with lifestyle guru Eddie Ross. The Martha Stewart Living staffer and Top Design contestant brings his eye popping interior design makeover tips to Atlanta. Ross will host an Atlanta Tea and Framing Party complete with a giveaway, at 2PM Saturday, January 9, 2010 at Larson-Juhl's Norcross office.

Ross has left no stone unturned and dreamed up a spread to die for with an array of fancy tea sandwiches, gourmet teas, chilled Sauvignon Blanc and tasty mini desserts.

Will you be there?

My New Favorite ATL Haute Spot!

One Midtown Kitchen sizzles with great food, atmosphere and service thanks to Manager John McDaniels! This former warehouse near Atlanta’s Piedmont Park turned sexy; glam eatery greets foodies with a glowing purple façade. Once inside, it’s electric! Breathtaking views of the park and the Atlanta skyline makes it a must-stop for those on the social scene. Executive Chef Drew Van Leuvan’s small plate selections are my faves like the flavorful burger with cheddar cheese and parmesan herb fries and decadent desserts like the baked chocolate mousse with malt ice cream topped with English toffee. But don’t forget the wine… an assorted boutique vino list priced from $3 per glass to bottomless flights up to $52 gives you something to cheer about.

You’ve got to check it out year-round because I hear the views from the patio and bar will take your breath away. But, if your budget gives you pause, don’t worry about it, One offers three course meals for $25 on Sunday and Monday. Visit soon because the list changes nightly. And valet parking is complimentary!

Atlanta Haute Spot for Haute Toddies!

Dessert cocktails are fabulous at the Four Seasons Hotel’s Park 75 Lounge and Terrace in Atlanta. If you’re looking for an intimate setting to share cocktails with your friends—look no further. Manager and mixologist Jerome Legendre pours it on with the Butterscotch Crème Brulee Martini and the Pear Vanilla Elixir! But you’ve gotta try his hot toddy, it’s nothing like grandma’s. And if an apple a day keeps the doctor away… you will not hesitate to try bobbing for apples. Thinking of chocolate in your glass? It’s time for LaDolce Vita made with nutella. Now that’s Haute!
