If Decatur wasn’t perfect as it were… Awesome restaurants, local  mom/pop shops, an actual Marta station stop in downtown Decatur (that I’ve never used), great bars, and now another late night food place!! 🙂 It’s such a perfect little ecosystem that if it were to split apart from the rest of Georgia, I think Decatur could sustain itself.

Victory at Sea was definitely my favorite of the two sandwiches and what I was super happy about was that they brought the Jack and Coke Slushie machine to this location!! Oh this thing will be very handy when summer hits. mmm~

Hadn’t been to the Dancing Goats Ponce before and had happened to be in the area. Upon walking up to the building, it honestly look pretty small but once you step inside, you can tell there is far more than meets the eye; actually that’s what I thought of coffee in general before I was educated by Jason Dominy during one of his Coffee 101 sessions.

Got my Sticky Bun!! 🙂

 

One of Chef Ford Fry’s other quality establishment. This was one of the other locations in Atlanta that I had not yet visited and definitely enjoyed myself! Had some time before the fashion shoot with Christine, so thought it might be best to warm up a bit (it was probably low 20’s with the wind chill). A solid little menu, but I was definitely more interested in the Sticky Bun. 🙂 Just saw it in the window on my way into the restaurant and couldn’t get it off my mind.

Come check this place out sometime! A solid eatery. Will need to come back for dinner.
