| King + Duke's scallops look official! |
Have any Valentine’s
Day plans in ATL yet?
I got you.
If you have a significant other and enjoy living, you
might want to consider some of these options in this series of Valentine’s Day
options throughout Georgia’s capital. Part One has Loews as a great
destination. In Part Two of my V-Day in ATL roundup, I have BeetleCat,
St. Cecilia, King + Duke, JCT. Kitchen, no. 246, Bar Mercado, Cooks & Soldiers,
Double Zero, Sugo and the Iberian Pig, Anne Quatrano’s Star Provisions Market
& Café and Dub’s Fish Camp at Ponce City Market as all great spots to consider.
JCT. Kitchen & Bar, one of my favorite restaurants, even has a post-Valentine’s
event the following Friday.
The descriptions below are straight from the restaurants.
Enjoy!
Ale, the Love Doctor
