Before we left for our trip to Puerto Rico, I copied this list of places to eat at the Atlanta Airport. The list was extracted from “Grabbing a Bite Between Flights,” by Matt Gross for the NY Times
Since we flew to PR on Christmas Day we thought we’d try One Flew South for our Christmas dinner. We enjoyed it so much that we also ate there during our layover in Atlanta, that’s what you get when you go for the cheap tickets, on our way back. The service and food was excellent. It is a bit up-scale and more pricey than most restaurant food, but it was worth it. We shared an arugula, butternut squash salad, and salmon ‘hot-pot’ style. We had one beer, one coffee and the cheeses plate for dessert on the way out and the rice pudding on the way back. The bill, with 18% gratuity included was about $50.00. Very much worth it, and if the restaurant were in Fredericksburg, we’d be regulars.
ATLANTA: ATL
Bistro del Sol, outside security, near the central atrium, (404) 767-3988, has Mediterranean-inspired food, wraps and jerk chicken. Bubbly service, too.
One Flew South, in Concourse E; (404) 816-3464; www.oneflewsouthatl.com. It opened Nov. 17, too late for inclusion here, but with twists on Southern food, it looks worth checking out.
Paschal’s, several locations; (404) 305-8888; www.paschalsrestaurant.com.
To find the Taxi assembly break room, leave the airport via the northern baggage-claim exits, turn left, walk down left side of the road and under the overpass.
We’ve been out about a week, arriving in Newfoundland by ferry at Port Aux Basques on Friday, July 13, 2007. The trip across New Brunswick and Nova Scotia was fairly nice and without incident. Found a very good ice cream place, McCabe’s in New Brunswick, a very nice town named Sackville also in NB - with an excellent coffee house/cafe (Bridge St Cafe) , a worthwhile discount clothing store named Frenchy’s - part of a chain, and a good dinner in Antigonish.
first at their house in Corner Brook, then at their idyllic place in equally idyllic Woody Point, and now again at their home in Corner Brook. Woody Point seems wonderful. we’re thinking of staying for a month or longer next summer. It comes very close to our ideal of a village where we can spend the summer to read or write, with a community and some cultural events. We hiked around the town and the area, went swimming in a brook near the town, visited another town that faces the ocean, and sat out on the porch lst night watching stars and hearing a moose snort in the field next door.
