Born and raised in Atlanta. If it opened here in the last twenty years, I've been — and I'll tell you whether it's worth the wait on a Friday.

Riverfront Summer Concert Series · Nashville, Tennessee

Drove up from Atlanta for the Saturday headliner. Golden-hour sets, a river breeze, and the kind of night outdoor venues are for.

Bar Alcove · New York, New York

In town for a conference, ended up at the counter three nights out of four. The martini is correct and the plates deserve their own review.

Experience

Blue Ridge Sunrise Hike · Asheville, North Carolina

Forty minutes of headlamp switchbacks, then the fog sea under a gold sky. Free, hard, and better than anything I paid for that month.
