Hump This
Be The Don: Italy's Finest
3920 Canton Rd, Suite 130; Marietta; 678.402.8205
Commandeering the former Fazzino's space in Marietta, IF's a newly opened cavernous sanctuary of seafood, pasta, and NY-style brick oven pizza, with stained glass lighting above the bar and booths in the 300-seat dining room. They're plating apps like sauteed or fried Crab Claws w/ garlic butter, sandwiches (e.g., Hawaiian Chicken Sub), pastas (Lobster Ravioli in Asiago cream sauce), veal dishes like Saltimbocca (cutlets topped w/ ham & mozzarella, in marsala wine sauce w/ shrooms), grilled dinners like French Cut Pork Chops (topped w/ baked cinnamon apples & applewood smoked bacon), and great deals like all-you-can-eat pizza or pasta for $5.99 -- basically a CiCi's you can go to sober.
Beers include Peroni, Moretti, Busch; there's also free wi-fi, Texas Hold 'Em, and open mic on weekends. Get BOGO dinner coupons right now at ItalysFinestGrill.com
Mandatory: Smyrna Beer Fest
1pm-6pm Saturday, at Smyrna Market Village: 2840 Atlanta Rd; Smyrna; 770.435.1887
Irrigate yourself with hundreds of brews at Smyrna's annual ale-a-thon, including popular locals (Atlanta Brewing Co's Summer Brew & Peachtree Pale Ale), domestics (Magic Hat Hocus Pocus, Jinx, and Circus Boy), and imports (Ommegang Hennepin, Moretti La Rossa, DAB Radeberger). Along with newly added wine-tasting tables, you can enjoy eats from Atkins Park, Zucca Pizzeria, Moe's, and The Village Café while listening to DJ Suspense of local spinning troupe Lethal Rhythms (and you thought the method's big risk was pregnancy).
You'll save $10 if you hurry up and buy tickets in advance, which you can do now by clicking on this blue text
Provoke Thoughts: The Most Interesting Academy Event
8pm tonight, at The Tabernacle: 152 Luckie St NW; Downtown
Promoted by local partyman P. Craig of Kiss Atlanta, The Tabernacle's getting Interesting on Wed with free Dos Equis and such fascinating (and semi-unexplained) side activities as "Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School", "5 Esteemed Mohawk Coiffeurs", and "5 Exotic Birds of Prey" plus a special DJ showcase featuring Craze and Klever, with additional aural pleasures provided by "The Most Interesting Marching Band", which better have one hell of an oboe.
Free entry requires some RSVP action from you, do it immediately at Showclix.com
Sip The Day Away: Sunset Lounge Day Party
2pm Sunday, at Shout: 1197 Peachtree St NE; Midtown; 404.846.2000
RSVP now to spend the second day of your blissfully elongated weekend at Shout's Sunset Lounge Day Party, where you'll be blessed with normally $9+ martinis all day for $5, plus $5 margaritas, Remy Martin drinks, and other top shelf hooch until 4pm. They're also handing you all-day specials on tapas, sliders, and pizzas, and the whole time, fresh hip-hop'll be spun by DJ Doc and DJ Tabone, who's way more fun at these things than DJ Waiting For Marriage.
Once again, RSVP is a must if you want no problem at the door; this link takes you right to SunsetLoungeATL.com to sign up
Bathe In Booze: Jock Soap's "Night Swim"
800.274.JOCK
Conceived by an ATL-raised musician/ entrepreneur/ soapsmith, Jock just released a new form of lathery goodness called "Night Swim": a soap bar created with a blend of cranberry, lemon, lime, vodka, and gin -- a classy alternative to your standard move of not being fully clean until you're Milwaukee's Best-fully clean.
