Southeast Urban Music Conference showcases on the patio, Park Tavern, Piedmont Park, Atlanta, June 22, 2011
Month: June 2011
I was headed up Marietta Street looking for a coffee bar when I noticed this place called Urban Grind. So I stopped in for a latte, and they were getting ready for a spoken word event. I would have stayed for it if I didn’t need to get back to the Park Tavern for the Southeast Urban Music Conference Showcases.
After a day of promoting, I decided to have dinner at Max’s Coal Oven Pizza in the new little hip district on Marietta Street Northwest near the Aquarium and Georgia Dome. It’s a nice little area, and the food at Max’s was quite good.
A fire at an industrial site in Morrow spread to paper and roofing material, and soon could be seen all over Clayton County, June 22, 2011

Another Broken Egg in Atlanta
Atlanta now has Another Broken Egg Cafe, which started in Mandeville, Louisiana near New Orleans, and is undoubtedly familiar to anyone who has been to Destin. There are now locations in Dallas, Shreveport, Baton Rouge and many other places in the south, and the food is always great.
Late Night Coffee and Dessert at @CafeIntermezzo
Open until 2 AM most nights and until 3 AM on weekends, Cafe Intermezzo is a late-night hangout for Atlanta. Intermezzo’s coffee menu alone is three pages, the liquors another four or five pages. The exquisite desserts aren’t on the menu at all- they are under glass instead, where an employe called a “tour guide” describes them in detail as you point to them and ask about them. Not a place to worry about weight, calories or cholesterol!

Atlanta’s Home For Hip-Hop, Neo-Soul And Great Food @ApacheCafe
The Apache Cafe is a unique institution in Atlanta, offering hip-hop and experimental jazz, poetry, art, desserts and french press coffees. Definitely a must-do for any fan of hip-hop music when coming to ATL.
