Restaurants Barry Manilow at Marco's Pita (sort of)

Wanna know which musicians are playing anywhere in Atlanta? Visit Marco's Pita (752 Ponce de Leon Ave., 404-607-0071). As the photo above illustrates, the cafe's main decor is countless fliers about musical events. They paper the walls and windows and cover up tables. Look. There's Creative Loafing basking in the glow of a roll of paper towels!
The Mediterranean-style food, unfortunately, needs improvement. Hummus and baba ghanouj were fine, but the falafel wrap I ordered was drier than sawdust. It's too bad, because the preparation was unusual, featuring a piquant tahini sauce and weird little pickles.
Among the acts coming to Atlanta is Barry Manilow, according to one postcard-sized flier there. Ain't that da bomb? I write the songs, the songs Lola sings, her name was Lola, at the Copa, the Copacabana.

Love Barry Manilow and if you are looking for good Mediterranean , either with or wo Barry, go down the street to Olive Bistro Barry writes the songs and would love the falafel, Lola loves the lovely hummus that they serve and have been serving for years without ever a bad falafel or hummus from them in my 10 years of eating there. They are so under noticed in the fake food world of trendy Atlanta... Try it..
