Slicing into a dry, pink tomato devoid of moisture purchased from Kroger makes me sad. Today I traipsed through the Sweet Auburn Curb Market in search of lunch as well as an acceptable tomato.

The one place where you can use a microwave in your room if you don't have suite. Microwave is accessible at all times, you just need to know that it is available and where to find it. If you are in need of a quick snack or breakfast this is a good place to pick up anything from a cold drink and fruit to a sandwich and hot drink. Power bars are available as well as candy bars. The huge downside here is the pricing. Not only is it a hotel lobby store, but you are paying a huge price for the convenience of it all. Why, because they can get away with it if you do not want to venture far.

What a AWESOME experience with Eat Right Atlanta…read more Before heading into a recent checkup at Emory, I saw the Eat Right Atlanta table setting up and wondered what they were offering. Once I finished my checkup and headed back downstairs, I was so excited to see two tables full of some beautifulllll produce. I had things to do and people to see... but that produce was calling my name. So I answered! I was a bit confused at first as to the process, but one of the team members took the time to explain the process quickly and it all made sense. They offer a long sheet of paper that allows you to choose produce in single-serving sizes, prepared packages and more. The offerings seem to vary based on the day, but the offering for the day included over two dozen options! I was tempted to go overboard but ended up going with: a single-serving size of bell peppers (which = 2 huge peppers), a single-serving size of mini cucumbers (5 in a bag) and a 5-variety fruit bag where I chose: peaches, cherries, kiwis, pink lady apples and barlett pears. In total I spent $32 with tax and WOW - did I get my moneys worth. The produce was plentiful, delicious and high-quality. I was so excited to get home to eat them and find different ways to use them. This is truly a wonderful pop-up to support and now that I know where and when to find them, you can bet that I'll be relying on them for my produce needs!

If you want to do some shopping for some food or maybe just some shopping for a bite to eat, then this is your spot. You'll come into the market but you have to worry about parking because it's not free but if you're in the city you already know that. They have a validation for parking system there so you can make sure you use that, which is right by the door. There's also other places to park, which is street parking, that you could use your park mobile app as well if you'd prefer to do that or if the parking lot is full. This market has tons of items and things and anything you could think of for the most part. If you are feeling steak or Caribbean food then this is your spot to go to. If you just want some French fries or some oxtail then this is going to be a great place for it as well. There's a myriad of different stalls that you can buy food at that are ready. There's also places that you can actually buy fresh meat and seafood to cook at home. If you're trying to figure out where to go for some steaks or some oxtails or shrimp, you should check this out for sure. So overall I would say this is definitely a spot you should for sure try if you're trying to try some new dishes or if you want to buy some food to make at home. If you're trying to find something that's similar to an Asian market, for example, something off Buford Highway, this would be a good spot to check out. Picking up a couple of steaks and some shrimp is easy work for a spot like this. I actually would probably go for a holiday situation to where I was buying meat to put on the grill. If you don't want to get locked into something like Publix, this is a good spot so just keep that in mind.

I went specifically to ATOS and they had oxtails empanadas, wing combos, whole wings and others dishes including pasta that I will be back for. Their signature sauce is sweet and spicy and I like their wings as they are more traditional fuller wings differing from the Atlanta style mini that are fried harder. I also went to AB cookie company. I just got a chocolate chip but it was very good. The texture was slightly cakier with hints of spice. I like my cookies cooked thru but they have every texture in their cookies from a hard chewier edge, traditional gooey, to the slightly puddingly center. Also my first order of business upon my next visit to Municipal Market will be trying the peach cobbler at AB. I give this place a high rating because there are soooo many options. They have a Curleys in here which haven't been to in years and they validate parking.
