R. THOMAS’ DELUXE GRILL, a favorite Sunday brunch destination, is one of the city’s most eccentric restaurants. It’s open 21 hours a day, closing from 6-9 a.m. for cleanup. Its dining room is a climate-controlled patio surrounded by flowers tended by R. Thomas himself. Its menu is attractive to carnivores and vegetarians alike.

What do the Krispy Kreme doughnuts, prostitutes giving blowjobs and mayoral candidate Shirley Franklin have in common? They all can be found on a certain stretch of Ponce de Leon Avenue in Midtown.

Who could ask for more? less...

845 Peachtree St. 404-873-1986 http://www.backstreetatlanta.com Need proof that Midtown is the new Buckhead? Check out Backstreet at 3:30 on a Sunday morning. Gone are the armies of shirtless circuit boys and love-filled raver kids who once ruled the dance floor, replaced mostly by a sea of straight party girls and their uneasy-looking boyfriends. Sure, Fridays are still tres gay, and ever-bitchy drag divas like Raven remain favorites in the queer community. But weekends at this longstanding landmark of nightlife are a true melting pot for Atlanta’s party set - earlier closing times and nearby condo developments be damned! less...
