1️⃣ Blue fin toro tartare — I’ve never seen seaweed like this before!
2️⃣ Toyosu sashimi mori - such a great selection from Toyosu Market, Japan

4️⃣ Monaka

Late post 😄  I went to Westside Stride for the first time and loved it — there were so many great vendors from vintage clothing and goods to plants and handmade goods by small businesses. Definitely a fun community event where you can hang out with the roads blocked off and support small businesses in the area!

💫Lucky Star by the team @brushatl will be opening a new concept 🔜 at @starmetalsatl! I was told it’ll be a Taiwanese small bites and bar vibe. In this Reel: their pop-up at Westside Stride inside @electriceventsatl (7th floor of Star Metals). The venue is open for bookings — private parties and events!

I didn’t know what I was missing out on at @alic

I didn’t know what I was missing out on at @alicioysterbar! I highly recommend their oyster happy hour. @chefpatpascarella and his team are killing it with the seafood and crispy potatoes!!
{hosted}  Notable items for Happy Hour (Tuesday-Friday 4-6pm; Saturday and Sunday 2-6pm) are their $1.50 oysters, $9 small places (which includes the crispy potatoes), and $14 pastas. I’m eyeing the arrabbiata and will have to try it soon!  🦪 Oysters:
-Wicomico, VA -Hollywood, MD
-Black Magic, PEI
-Sunken Meadows, MA
🐟 App: Yellowfin tuna crudo
🥔 Side: Crispy potatoes
🍝 Pastas: -Bucatini (loved all the lobster that was in this dish and its shareable due to size!)
-Linguini & Clams
🍰 Dessesrt: Torta barozzi

I waddled out of the restaurant, but the best thing about the location is easy access to the Beltline to walk it off :)

If you love art, you have to visit the African Dia $If you love art, you have to visit the African Diaspora Art Museum of Atlanta @adama_atl. Admission is free.  🖼️The @nandosusa art collection, “If You Look Hard Enough, You Can See Our Future,” is open until November 2. The exhibit has almost 30 pieces curated from Nando’s art collection, the largest South African contemporary masterworks. Gallery hours: Thursday-Saturday noon-5pm I had a fun time perusing the art collection and enjoyed brunch hosted by Nandos. {hosted} Side note, each Nandos location you visit has unique South African decor and art pieces. I love that they pay homage to the culture where peri-peri flame-grilled chicken and sauces originated. Peri-peri, or African birds eye chili, was introduced to South Africa by the Mozambique Portuguese. 📍ADAMA | Pittsburgh Yards ATL 🧭 If you’re using Google Maps, use directions to the Pittsburgh Yards building. 🅿️ There’s street parking as you turn on to Ira Yards St SW and Pittsburgh Yards. If there’s no parking, drive around to the back of the building to the lot off Garibaldi Yards St SW. • • • • • • #AfricanDiasporaArtMuseumofAtlanta #africandiaspora #atlantamuseum #artmuseums #thingstodinatlanta #nandosperiperi #discoveratlanta #familyfun$

Breakfast gram 🍳 What’s in your breakfast?
I’m so grateful I can take the time to cook a hot breakfast every morning. It’s probably my favorite meal to cook since I love eggs, and it’s so easy to pair it with a carb/potatoes!
#HappyEggAmbassador #sponsored

I made the switch recently from non-labeled eggs to ones they are free range/pasture raised. I’ve always bought what was cheapest to save money, but I love that @happyeggcousa works with small farms, they have three categories of eggs (organize, free range, and Heritage eggs), and their cartons are biodegradable 🌱

The Heritage eggs are more expensive, but the different colored shells and bright orange yolk are stunning. They’re laid by Happy Eggs’ exclusive Hölzl Blue and Hölzl Brown hen breeds. No, I didn’t try to color correct the photo to be deceiving!!
