bottomless mimosas anyone?? Follow @atllovesmo for more 💌 One of the most commonly asked questions is - where can I get bottomless drinks for brunch?? What if I told you you can do that AND enjoy some of atl’s best pizza and other fresh brunch items. @varasanospizzeria is doing brunch, in case you didn’t know, including breakfast pizza, eggs with tomato sauce and mozzarella + fresh basil from the garden, blueberry pancakes, and more. Brunch cocktails are $19 and u can order things like a mimosa, bloody mary, bellini, and spritz! They serve brunch until 4pm on weekends. Sinc you love a deal, you should also know Thursdays are for bottomless wine (gno). @varasanospizzeria has been around since 2009 and has maintained a really impressive 4.9 google rating (with over 2.7k reviews). They’ve been recognized by countless publications for their pizza making skills, and even broke the internet with the longstanding #1 pizza recipe on Google (this is what happens when a Bronx-born software engineer becomes obsessed with pizza). He literally reverse-engineered dough recipes in his NYC apartment, even disabling his oven’s safety lock to reach authentic pizza-making temps. Jeff’s pizza was named one of the Top 10 in the U.S. by USA Today and has been spotlighted by Zagat, Food & Wine, Rachael Ray, and more. Add to your brunch list!

#ad places I’d spend a slow day around ATL, the electric edition with @exploresetoyota ✨ If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I love building little routes around the city. Atlanta has so many pockets worth exploring, and sometimes the best days are the slower ones, which to me means coffee in hand (obviously), wandering through a vintage bookstore, running a quick grocery errand, and finding a sunny spot to sit and read for a bit. If you watched until the end you saw the pretzel (which is an added bonus). I spent the day running around the city in the all-electric Toyota bZ and honestly what surprised me most was how natural it felt to drive. I grew up in a Toyota family, and have actually only ever driven a Toyota. The bZ felt familiar but more elevated and modern. One thing people always ask about EVs is range, but with an estimated 314-mile all-electric range, it easily covers a full day running around Atlanta (+ more). I found charging fits right into the day too, with a ~30 minute charge time to go from 10% to 80% on a Level 3 DC Fast Charger and access to public charging stations with help from the Toyota app. Pretty easy to forget you’re driving around a hectic city when the drive is this smooth ⚡ @exploresetoyota #Toyota #bZ #LetsGoPlaces

if you’re looking for an intimate experience in Atlanta, this is for you follow @atllovesmo for more 🫶 I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, @cheftrevorshankman is truly something special. He has been hosting exclusive supper clubs since he was a teen, and these dinners have become a hot ticket item amongst the foodies of atl (if you haven’t listened to me yet, do so now). It’s a six course dinner hosted at an intimate, very moody, very suave, private wine club in the west end. The menu is a reflection on his childhood and an ode to his late grandmother (so it’s made with lots of love and intention). My favorite thing about Trevor is the amount of time, effort and thought he puts into each dish. It gets better and better each time I go! The menu is ever changing, so even if it’s something you’ve done in the past, go ahead & book another evening! Head to my link in bio to see available dates - you can treat yourself with a wine pairing from @thevineclubatl while you’re there. Save & share 🫶 one of my favorite meals in Atlanta. Grab your spot, seats go quickly!

It’s the perfect spot to hang with friends. @koshuclubatl is theeee new date night spot in buckhead with a menu that bridges traditional washoku, yoshoku classics, and contemporary Japanese cuisine.
