The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, Atlanta, GA

See more than 70 different films from around the world at Atlanta’s best annual film festival

by Amy Brayfield | January 23, 2012

I look forward to the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival every year. It’s not often that you get to see such a thoughtful mix of international films here in Atlanta, so 22 days of 70 different documentary and narrative films—plus discussions with writers, directors, actors, filmmakers and academics—is absolutely worth scheduling a baby-sitter for. This year, the festival starts February 8 (with a 7:30pm screening of My Best Enemy at the Fox Theatre) and …

“Annie,” The Fox Theatre, Atlanta, GA

Catch this family-friendly Broadway musical at Atlanta’s historic Fox Theatre

by Amy Brayfield | January 21, 2012

This weekend is your last chance to catch Annie at the fabulous Fox Theatre in downtown Atlanta. And while the singing-and-dancing story of the little orphan who finally finds a loving home (with a billionaire, no less) is as charming as you remember (Who can resist singing along to “It’s the Hard-Knock Life?”), the Fox Theatre is always the real star of the show. This historic theatre is where most Atlantans see their …

Plan a romantic getaway at this utterly charming Atlanta bed and breakfast

by Amy Brayfield | January 16, 2012

Planning a Valentine’s Day getaway can be high pressure, so make it easy on yourself and make reservations at Stonehurst Place. It’s hard to think of a more romantic bed and breakfast in Atlanta than this luxuriously renovated 1890s home-turned-inn nestled in midtown Atlanta. There’s nothing stuffy or overdone here: Crisp, modern furniture, high-end technology, posh bathrooms, and just the right mix of comfort and style make this little inn the perfect place …

Explore the exhibits and films chronicling King’s life and the civil rights movement, …

From $40 to $50 (depending on when you buy; ticket prices increase as the festival nears), you can sample brews from Jeremiah Weed, …

Get your local yarn fix at this Atlanta knitting shop

by Amy Brayfield | January 07, 2012

When I travel, I always make sure I know where the nearest local yarn shop is. This is partly because I find yarn impossible to resist and cannot pass up the opportunity to see what fibers other people are obsessed with and partly because I usually forget at least one essential thing I need for my vacation knitting-in-progress. If, like me, you tend to travel with knitting project bag in tow, it’s worth a little …
