As a Westside resident I must offer these suggestions... All bread and pastries are half price in the evening at Star Provisions and free to dinners. Best gingerbread cookies ever - forget those Moravians. If you sit at the bar at Bacchanalia you don't need a reservation and you can order a la carte while watching Clifford cook. A real $ saver. Via Elisa has THE best pasta on this side of the pond. Tacqueria del sol is a surly dinning experience offered up by a bunch of pissed off dudes. Commune has a can't-be-beat patio over looking trains every 20 minutes, creeping kudzu, and a midtown skyline under a lovely urban industrial backdrop. This is the perfect weather to enjoy their cocktails, diverse crowd and great setting. The new pasta place is OK but doesn't hold a candle to Elisa's artisan pasta. Want fresh seafood at half the price of Star Provisions order it from Inland Seafood? It's right around the corner from Pangaea. Haven't tried Ambria yet. Finally, ARIA in buckhead is the only reason one would want to venture that neck of the woods after dark. Always a fabulous experience. Jenna
