The weekend would like to propose a toast.
Tonight, between the usual intrepid cougar encounters at Bluepointe, you’ll be able to partake of the entire champagne list at half off. Turns out, a bottle of Taittinger parked next to some ossetra caviar is the Bluepointe equivalent of The Gilroy. Which, we’ve heard, is more powerful than the Ocean’s Thirteen version.
Ah yes, Fantasyland Records. Stalwart purveyors of all things vinyl for 34 years... and just getting warmed up. FR is packing up and moving into a brand-new location down the street, where you’ll still feel like you’re on the set of High Fidelity... just with slightly more affable vinyl gurus manning the aisles. And, of course, that new record store smell.
This weekend, pay homage to our founding fathers by heading to Woodfire Grill, where chef Kevin Gillespie will be roasting a whole hog as part of his three-course BBQ dinner. An extra $5 will also land you a bottomless stream of Sweetwater 420 and Georgia Brown. There’s a reason why Lincoln is on the $5 bill.
Running the Peachtree Road Race is a brave and noble endeavor. That’s why this Fourth, starting at 5am, the Fur Buses are lining up streetside to show their respect by throwing a tailgate party with three DJs, rivers of beer and enough costumes to make you think it’s October 31. Or you could just wear your number.
After the tailgate, make your way to the BookHouse Pub for some post-road race shenanigan-ing. They’ll be grilling up burgers, doling out draft specials and ushering in some DJs. Oh, and there’s also a hot dog eating competition. We’ll be sticking to spectator status on this one.
