Around Atlanta {Lucian Books & Wine}

April 25, 2023April 25, 2023

Last month I celebrated my birthday with “blonde AW” on a double date at Lucian Books & Wine. She is my best foodie friend and knows all the best spots in Atlanta and beyond. We enjoyed a divine dinner in this Buckhead restaurant celebrating beautiful books, smart wines and thoughtful food.

We ordered about half of the menu and shared plates.

And, while the food was both beautiful and delicious, it was the company that made the night spectacular. My only regret is that we failed – again – to take a photo to capture the night.

And, now that I look at the calendar, I realize that I am posting about my birthday on HER birthday. <3

If you’re looking for a fantastic date night, give Lucian a try!
