weekend updates

Uncategorized / March 18, 2013

hi yal. let me share what i’ve been up – how about it?

keila and i went to atlanta to do some buying for the shop take a grand eating tour of the city. highlights included dinner at the optimist where the fish options on the menu were delightfully overwhelming, the oysters salty and thick, and the cocktails perfectly prepared.

we hit up west egg twice for breakfast – it was just that good. if only raleigh could get together a concept and menu like that.  IF ONLY (i am putting this out in the universe: please someone open a pretty and tasty restaurant in raleigh).  delicious lattes, spicy bloody marys and crispy buttered biscuits. we lingered, and lingered some more.

we dined at jct kitchen one evening, and it didn’t disappoint: scrumptious salads slathered in ranch dressing (you know that joke about how to get a southern girl to do a dirty deed…, well, the ranch was that good), a delicious old fashioned with a root beer spin and collards soaked in vinegar. we managed to have a lovely time despite the 7 frat boys sitting beside us in long sleeve button-ups every color of the paas easter egg rainbow who ordered a bottle of white wine for the table. i mean, really?

speaking of fine dining, how about this room service menu at our hotel for pets?

we spent some time at ann mashburn (more to come later in the week on that!) and our favorite general store, star provisions.

"Date 1944. Sorority sisters at the University of Texas." by sdasfvrce in OldSchoolCool
On East Lake Shore Drive, this co-op project combined 2 separate units last updated in the '60s into 1 lavish apartment with a gut-remodel, relocating the kitchen to the front of the apartment overlooking the lake.  Interior by Summer Thornton Designter bath, Thornton juxtaposed diagonal swaths of Calacatta Monet marble with Breccia stone to distract from the room’s asymmetrical layout while providing a unique take on tradition, highlighted by the Waterworks fixtures and a freestanding tub by Ann Sacks. The oak paneling was detailed with black molding, a reference to the hand-painted ceiling in the living room.
