  Your girl got ROTD (Review of the Day) once again on Yelp!!   For those of you who may not know, I've been a writer for Yelp Atlanta for over a year now. In short, Yelp is an online hub for local business reviews. I decided to join the community in hopes of it doing exactly what it did, which was provide me a place to voice my opinion about all of these fabulous and not so fabulous places I visit around Atlanta. It also gives me a place to sharpen my writing skills because as writers know, the more you write the better at it you become.  My friends always ask me where they can go to either hangout, catch a movie, or a have great meal. I figured writing about my experiences would take this concept to another level and it did. Yelp not only provides a place  to write reviews but it also gives you an opportunity to meet other cool Yelper's at the many local events, build community, and lasting friendships.  Receiving ROTD is one way Yelp reco...

Sunday afternoon I attended an Atlanta's Yelp Elite event that was held at the new Capital Grille  location, located in the Atlanta Perimeter Mall area. They've been open for six weeks now and have been serving our Atlanta folks real good. This location might be new but Capital Grille has been around for years and has another location here in Atlanta in Buckhead.  We were definitely wined and dined in style.  The appetizers and cocktail drinks were delicious. I had the pleasure of being introduced to one of their infamous drinks, the Stoley Doley which is an alcoholic beverage that contains pineapple infused in vodka for around seven days. This drink was so good I kept them coming. The red wine was a nice addition to the appetizers and the butternut squash soup with mushrooms was incredible. They did an absolute fabulous job. Capital Grille is the perfect place to host private dining events as they provide a variety of private dining rooms to choose...

Me glowing after getting my Brizilian Wax. I've been going to Brazilian Wax By Andreia for over two years now and I love it! My visits, although painful, are always pleasant because these ladies really know how to make you comfortable. Let’s face it, comfort is what you want when you are laying on a table spread eagle, getting your hair removed by WAX. It does and will hurt, at least until you get used to it. I was sharing with someone just yesterday that although it’s painful it’s worth it. I love the clean, smooth feel and so does hubby. It’s definitely a nice alternative and adds spice to our play life. Here are a few things I love about going to Andreia’s: The prices are one of the best for a Brazilian wax, just $35! The wax that is used is the kind that goes on (it’s very warm, feels great), and is peeled off. It’s usually a quick procedure. This is of course depending on how much hair you have. I always leave satisfied even though I have to endure a littl...

Parish is a unique dining experience in the evolving community in Inman Park Atlanta, GA. Their website describes them best as, "...unique people and lively music all coming together in this melting pot of Southern vibrant culture within Inman Park - Parish: Foods and Goods. Catering to no one by catering to everyone, PARISH is a restaurant, a market, a deli, a community haven."  I love this little restaurant; especially for their tasty, scrumptious breakfast foods and teas! Speaking of teas, one of my favorites is the Ginger Pear Tea...delish! Parish has two sides to it, both of which I truly enjoy. Upstairs, in their restaurant you can experience both indoor and outdoor dining with a full waiter service. Here is where you can enjoy a taste of their brunch or dinner foods which are tasty dishes like their infamous Belgium Waffles! Brunch is only offered on Saturday's and Sunday's from 10-3. I made the mistake of showing up with an empty belly, read...

Whoot Whoot!!! I'm a Yelper for Atlanta and I made ROTD {review of the day}!!! {pic taken at the infamous Planet Hollywood in Orlando, Fl in Downtown Disney!} Do you Yelp? If so add me as a friend so we can keep up with each others reviews, travels and the such. This morning I woke up to find fabulosity sitting in my inbox from my fellow yelpers. Yelp.com is a review site that anyone can join for free and write reviews on restaurants, stores, different venues, etc, etc. I joined back in April when I wanted to broaden my writing and I figured since I’m always out and about sampling new tastes, places, and people (<---- not literally, lol) why not write about it. Check out my reviews here, lisacreviews.yelp.com This is truly a Fabulous Find!!
