Eclipse di Luna

Eclipse di Luna is perhaps the best tapas restaurant that Dunwoody has to offer. I've been here twice in the recent months and both times was amazed by just how crowded and popular this place seems to be. The tag line says ' A Different State of Mind' and that's perhaps pretty accurate. You have to be in a mood to kick back and enjoy a leisurely time with friends and let the sizzling chic undertone that this restaurant offers seep in.

The outdoor seating is great with the wrought iron furniture and the live band playing inside adds to the uniqueness of this place. They have a wide assortment of tapas. I have enjoyed the spiced potatoes and the fried calamari the most. However, what takes the cake is the cake, literally! The Tres Leche on the dessert menu is a soft sponge cake soaked in cream and an assortment of other ingredients that were simply mouth watering. So the next time you want to dine at the Perimeter, stop by Eclipse di Luna. It’s worth it.

Here & There

I've had a blog sabbatical, it may seem like. That's not because of a lack of things to write about, in fact, I think I've been eating way too much and have gotten lazy! This post is a random assortment of the different tastes, stores and places of the last three weeks.

Gelato -
I discovered freshly made Gelato at Harry's Farmer's Market last week. They apparently have a little Gelato and smoothie corner - I tried two flavors; mango and banana-strawberry, just perfect for a hot week-day afternoon.

Falafel -
Al-Medina at Norcross is huge an Asian Grocery store. They are known all over Atlanta for their fresh goat meat and in fact distribute to many of the local retailers. What I discovered on Saturday, was that they sell Falafel's and an assortment of other delicious looking food as well. The spicy chicken Falafel; reminiscent of New York, was really very good and oh so filling!

Coffee -
I discovered a quaint little cafe at the GSU campus two weeks ago. After almost three years of patronizing various different campus vending machines, and eating more pop tarts and honey buns than I can ever imagine, I find the cosiest little coffee shop, nestled in the basement of the main library. It's called Saxby's.

Chinese -
I've rediscovered the joys of eating greasy Chinese Food at the mall. After swearing off that food for the longest time, I succumbed and ate at Panda Express twice in the last three weeks. When you've window-shopped yourself to death, the only thing that can compensate for a bad shopping day is a nice oily meal at Panda Express! Heaven.
