Whiskey Blue

Last night as research for a forthcoming article in Sunday Paper, Dean and I visited Whiskey Blue in Buckhead.

According to General Manager Jason Dauble the bar's most popular cocktails include the acai-blueberry martini, cosmopolitan, grapefruit basil martini, mango-mint mojito and the “local” Manhattan.

My personal favorite is the grapefruit basil martini. Try it!

Bottom line: Whiskey Blue is a very swanky yet comfortable rooftop bar that serves yummy cocktails.

Oceanfront Cottage Rentals

Thanks to Oceanfront Cottage Rentals, this past weekend I enjoyed sunshine on Tybee Island, Georgia (which was even sweeter because it was raining in Atlanta), the special glory of being able to feel sand between my toes after walking just a few yards out my back door, and the thrill of experiencing a lifestyle that I can't afford full-time (but sure wish that I could!). Here's the "Villa by the Sea" in which we lodged:

This beauty has 5 bedrooms, a professional kitchen, elevator, hot tub, pool and more. Trust me, it's fabulous. But if it's not available or doesn't exactly suit your needs, Oceanfront Cottage Rentals can recommend another of its 85 rental options.
