M. Is for Marlow's
Marlow’s Tavern is breaking into the Midtown, Atlanta bar scene in a big way. While the cons of this place are few and far between, the pros are abounding. Marlow’s boasts free covered parking, which is a coveted asset among the Midtown bar scene. Located within blocks of the Woodruff Arts Center, High Museum and Atlanta’s Fox Theater, Marlow’s offers great cocktails, a plethora of dinner selections and an atmosphere that rivals those of Buckhead and beyond.
Marlow’s drink menu includes house specialties such as the Bomb Pop, Cherry Lemonade, Classic Mojito and the ever popular Margarita in specialty flavors such as White Peach, Pomegranate and Raspberry. The food menu offers a scrumptious range from buffalo wings to sushi grade tuna and the intriguing addition of jalapeno corn grits. With artful presentation and such prompt service, dinner is not something that you will have to wait long to enjoy. The best part is that you won’t be walking out with empty pockets, as the food menu and drinks are very moderately priced.
Other amenities include a well stocked bar and wine selection, a late night kitchen, live music nightly and a sophisticated crowd. As every girl must do, upon restroom inspection, Marlow’s passed with more than flying colors. Outdoor dining is perfect for fall nights and a divided smoking/non-smoking section make it even more accommodating for a date or a group of friends out for a night on the town. Dress is casual and there is never a need for reservations.
You can check out their website for more information on locations, menus, weekly specials and a delightfully detailed entertainment schedule. Marlow’s will also be a participant in the Harvest Midtown celebration on Saturday, October 6, 2007. It is definitely worth a stop by Midtown’s newest hot spot.

Cosmic Cantina for out of this world nachos and margaritas!
Sangria, margaritas, beer, organic burritos - don’t pass up Cosmic Cantina as another mediocre college crowded bar among the others near Union Square. It’s a great place to satisfy your hunger for any of the above at any time of the day.
Any burrito joint where you can actually eat healthy is my kind of place. The ingredients are fresh, the options are full of greens and vegetarian options, and some are even organic. My top favorites are the Spin City burrito ($7) with a whole wheat tortilla, spinach and mushroom and the unbeatable Deluxe Nachos. Try them vegetarian ($8) or with chicken ($11) or steak ($12) and the delicious guac and fresh chips will blow you away. Sit outside on a nice day or indoors if not.
At night, you can stop by Cosmic Cantina for a drink and some chips and salsa at the bar in the back of the restaurant. The music is usually good and loud and goes great with a pitcher or two of margarita ($28) or red or white sangria ($17 at the bar.) At late night, you can stop there for your post-last call Corona and
Open from 11am-5am daily, Cosmic Cantina is cash-only.

Cafe Habana Shakes a Tail Feather!
No matter what time of day I've entered Cafe Habana, it's shakin'! It is always crowded and that is with good reason. For here, at Cafe Habana, you can indulge in a great brunch, a heavenly margarita, or one of the best Cuban sandwiches your tastebuds will meet. I love this place because it has one of the most vivacious and beautiful staff I've ever encountered. When you walk into Cafe Habana there is a sincere energy with which to tempt your hips to sway from side to side in a hypnotic state. It just kind of happens!
Cafe Habana hosts a great brunch including such staples as Juevos Rancheros and the savory Molletes. No Mimosas here, but they do make a mean margarita which is quite refreshing during the summer months. Although all the Cuban/Mexican dishes are delectable and authentic, you should, in fact I demand that you order the Mexican grilled corn. It is to die for with its ears dripping with cheese and topped with lime and chili powder. It is their specialty and trust me you do not want to pass on it.
Cafe Habana is a place to meet friends, but expect a wait as it's small. Its a good date place as well if you don't mind sharing your elbow room with others. You can always go next door to Habana To Go in case you just want to pick up and go. The greatest thing about the joint is that they are New York's first Eco-Eatery boasting the use of earth-friendly practices in their design, construction, and day-to-day operations. Its a warm place just like the culture it promotes. Everyone is always dancing and smiling and so very welcoming. You may have a little wait but it's well worth it. You may even spot a celebrity or two sitting at the bar or having a Cafe Con Leche cozied up to other patrons. The area is packed with small boutiques and street vendors and the restaurant makes a nice pit stop from shopping.
