I'm getting hungry.  Options for dinner:

Fox Bros.
Sweetwater Brewery
Empire State South
Barcelona Wine Bar
Bulla Bulla
South City Kitchen
Lure
Some place in Ponce City Market
I ate at this fast casual Italian place in Ponce City Market and it was surprisingly good. I was shocked. 

They made a carbonara pasta with Bucatini and cooked the pasta perfectly al dente. They didn’t use any cream at all to make the sauce. Just eggs, cheese, and freshly ground black pepper and a little pasta water. And I think they even used guanciale. I was shocked at how true to form it was and how good it was. 

Ponce City Market is pretty bad ass. Atlanta is really cool. I love that city. And that little Italy area on the west side of midtown is pretty bad ass. That Antico pizza place there and the illys cafe are go to spots for me anytime I’m in Atlanta.

We were supposed to be in Budapest, Croatia, and Greece-- RIGHT.  NOW.

Thanks for nothing, Coronavirus.
Budapest and Croatia look amazing as well. 

I feel you man, I was suppose to go to France and Spain for 10 days in April. That got torpedoed thanks to the dumbass coronavirus. And it took the airline and Airbnb foreeeeever to process the refunds. My guess is they were hit with so many cancellations up the ass that it just took them forrrrrrrevvvvver.

The Greek Isles are cool.  Mainland?  Terrible.
Athens was just so so? I definitely want to go see Athens, but I do kind of want to experience the islands more. So I get where you’re coming from, I guess.

I don't have much desire to see Athens.  We had one day planned there, just because that was our route out of Europe, but a full week on one of the islands, with day-trips planned to a couple of others.

Dude...this is where democracy and western civilization was born. I want to see it for that alone.

Meh.  I'll stick to the islands, where delicious food and sun-drenched beaches are born.

I don't quite know why so many really good Italian places are near us.  We can walk to Ponce City Market.  I know that place well.  La Pulcinella is very good.  A new Persian place is supposed to open near us this summer.  The wife has some kind of garden club thing at 6 PM, some ladies in the building talking about how they do their decks.  Sounds exciting.  I decided on Lure as we have gift cards for it.  Well, the wife decided.

La Tavola is very good, we usually drive to it though.

My wife loved the pizza in Rome.  It's definitely it's own thing, and I promised to try and recreate it but have yet to live up to that promise.  There's a pizza place near us that sells a white pizza that is just awesome.  It doesn't have the Roman style crust but I think I could do up a crust (Serious Eats has a recipe) and also top it with salt, olive oil, cheese and garlic.  Maybe tomorrow...

I realize I'm several pages late, but @Drew4UTk I thought you'd appreciate this. My father-in-law made this for our home office; arrived today:

That does look nice.  My wife is getting into woodworking and built a chair that I'm happily lounging in right now.  She put some new columns on our front porch and now wants to build a couch.

Same with Chinese food.

The shit they eat over there would make Rambo puke.
Man... REAL Chinese food is delicious. 

American Chinese food is oversauced and syrupy, most of the time. 

Of course, much like Italy being a collection of different regions with very different cuisine, and America being a collection of different regions each with certain specialties and unique dishes, China is a collection of provinces with widely varying cuisine. Give me Sichuan / Hunan every day over Shanghainese / Cantonese.
