There are a lot of notable sandwiches in Atlanta, but during the last year one has outshined all others: the bresaola panini with Parmesan and pepper sauce at ALON’S. It’s the perfect lunchtime combination of comfort (crunchy bread, yummy meat) and wake-up call (piquant sauce, sharp cheese). Alon’s also makes a killer roasted-lamb sandwich with red-onion marmalade. There are soups available, too, along with salads, such as a recent edamame-and-rice dish. less...

Since starting Drifting Through the Grift in March 2006, GRIFTDRIFT has attracted a loyal following with his easygoing online persona and his trenchant commentary on important local news stories. His finest achievement: his posts this spring and summer that chipped away at the mountain of political, legal and media hypocrisy surrounding the Genarlow Wilson case. When the U.S. attorney in Atlanta ripped the Douglas County prosecutor for having distributed a video of Wilson and an underaged girl having sex, his statement was uncannily similar to the ones GriftDrift had been making for weeks.www.griftdrift.blogspot.com less...

I don't live at TRIBUTE LOFTS (241 Boulevard, 404-525-0507), so I can't enjoy the Wi-Fi'd sundeck, rooftop mineral spa or its unbelievable skyline view (unless someone invites me over). But I can enjoy the building's smart, sophisticated exterior: its urban frontage on Boulevard that will soon be home to street-level life and retail, its elegantly abstract pattern of glass facing on Freedom Parkway, and the fact that it's scaled correctly for little J.W. Dobbs Avenue at the edge of Atlanta's hip Old Fourth Ward. The building masters its site and context. It maximizes views and density within a fresh and modern aesthetic. It's not overbearing, bulky or cheap (like the loft development across the street. This town could use a lot more of this. " As told to Andisheh Nouraee" less...

If you haven't had brunch at Cafe 458 (458 Edgewood Ave., 404-523-1239), you're not just missing out on a delicious meal. You're missing out on one of the most innovative approaches to helping the homeless in Atlanta. The Samaritan House/Cafe 458 help our homeless men and women find a much-needed meal, an occasional bed, job training, employment training and employment itself. Chronic problems require creative approaches and that's why SHERRIE SNIPES-WILLIAMS, executive director of the Samaritan House and Cafe 458, is such an asset to our city. With more than 10 years at local nonprofits, she's clearly committed to making a difference in Atlanta. She is my 'sister-in-service,' and I am inspired by her example and her commitment.

Unfortunately, almost every Atlanta-produced YouTube video suffers from 'sticky underwear' syndrome. That's when you throw your dirty underwear against the wall, it sticks, and the next morning you see it crawled up three feet. That's how scary bad most of these videos are. Still, there are some Atlantans who show clean-underwear promise. Herb Henderson's live-action cartoon 'DUCK DOLLAS' has fun blowing up some of the city's tallest skyscrapers. SHELBY HIGHSMITH's video for Hillary Clinton's 'pick-my-song' contest is clever and funny, two words you don't associate with politics. And Grayson Daughters' satire 'TRUE GRITZ' is an often loud-out-loud parody of Southern propriety. " Michael Alvear" less...
