    Night of Impact, a fundraiser for Bright Futures Atlanta (BFA) is set to take place in the city on Thursday, Sept. 27 at 6:30 pm at The Fairmont in west Atlanta. The event will be sponsored by the Atlanta Small Business Network (ASBN).

    This year’s event is themed Real Life Direction, which ties into the organization’s mission to provide support beyond the classroom for Bright Futures students as they graduate from the school and enter into adulthood.

    BFA is a nonprofit organization that offers programs year-round and serves students in sixth through 12th grade. This same group of students attends the afterschool program and summer camp.

    Located in west Atlanta, the organization focuses on providing educational, social and spiritual opportunities for the underserved youth of the city.

    Executive Director Philip Ross emphasized how the event is important not to only introduce people to the organization’s mission, but to also kick off the giving season.

    “This event is crucial to exposing people to the work of Bright Futures Atlanta and its year-round approach,” he said.

    BFA was founded in 2002 with a vision to impact the underserved community of West Atlanta through a positive and sustainable support system, providing the means and motivation for youth to succeed in becoming self-sufficient, contributing adults.

    For the past 18 years, Philip and Gail Ross have lived in the community and built deep relationships with youth and their families in West Atlanta, which includes Bankhead, Vine City, the Bluff and surrounding areas. They have developed a first-hand understanding of the challenges faced by the youth and have developed highly effective programming to help them overcome the barriers they face to achieve a successful life filled with meaning and purpose.

    Tickets are $200 per person or $1,900 for a table of 10.

    Free Sushi Day At P.F. Chang’s Restaurants Across Atlanta Area
    craigsotherlistyahoo-com September 18, 2018
    2 Min Read

    Thursday, September 20th is Free Sushi Day at more than 200 participating P.F. Chang’s restaurants across the country and the three locations in the Atlanta area. This one-day-only event invites dine-in guests to enjoy a free Spicy Tuna Roll or California Roll with no purchase necessary. The only strings attached to this offer are the ones used to catch the fish.

    “Free Sushi Day is one of many ways we thank guests and introduce them to something new and delicious that’s great for lunch, happy hour or dinner,” said Dwayne Chambers, P.F. Chang’s chief marketing officer. “Last year P.F. Chang’s served nearly 93,000 sushi rolls across the country on Free Sushi Day – this year we hope to surpass 100,000.”

    The participating P.F. Chang’s in Atlanta are:

    • P.F. Chang’s
    Cumberland Mall
    Atlanta, GA · (770) 803-5800
    • P.F. Chang’s
    Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
    Atlanta, GA · (404) 481-2146
    • P.F. Chang’s
    Atlanta, GA · (770) 352-0500

    Every roll of P.F. Chang’s sushi is handcrafted, hand cut, and made with 100% U.S. grown rice. In addition to classics like the Spicy Tuna or California Roll, other favorites include the Kung Pao Dragon Roll, Lobster Avocado Roll, and Shrimp Tempura Roll.

    Guests can take advantage of P.F. Chang’s Free Sushi Day at participating restaurants by mentioning the promotion to their server. This offer is valid all day, Thursday, Sept. 20, 2018, with no purchase required, for dine-in use only. The Free Sushi Day offer is limited to one 8-piece Spicy Tuna or California Roll per guest but is not limited to a maximum per table. It cannot be combined with any other offer. A limited number of P.F. Chang’s locations are not participating, including airport, Atlantic City, Puerto Rico and Hawaii restaurants, and P.F. Chang’s restaurants that opened within the last 30 days.

    The Atlanta restaurants scene is booming. The city’s suburban outposts, including places like Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Johns Creek and Alpharetta are all experiencing a restaurant rebirth as developers look to branch out beyond Atlanta’s core. There is also a generous scattering of burger joints, coffee shops and more around the Perimeter. Atlanta restaurants can be found in each quadrant of the city, trading on their respective environments to offer something truly unique to the community.

    First look: Cheesecake Factory’s Grand Lux Cafe in Phipps Plaza
    cj-johnson-2 September 17, 2018
    3 Min Read
    One of Buckhead’s best-kept secrets opened in August in Phipps Plaza. Grand Lux Cafe is from the same people that brought us the Cheesecake Factory.
    The new restaurant comes on strong with hipness, contemporary decor and an atmosphere that’s a lot more relaxed.
    The eatery clear caters to the upwardly mobile and affluent, something that was clearly evident in the day AtlantaFi sampled a few items on the menu.

    Grand Lux Cafe opens in Buckhead

    The restaurant borrows heavily from the grandeur and luxury of European cafes, including French bistros and Italian pastry shops, but with the contemporary sensibilities inherent in the American dining experience.
    Grand Lux Cafe first opened in Las Vegas at the famed Venetian Resort, Hotel and Casino, and was such a hit that the parent company sought to expand the idea. Now, there are Grand Lux Cafes in eight states, including Florida, Texas, New Jersey and New York.
    When I visited, for starters I tried the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, which includes minced Sauteed Chicken Breast and Vegetables in a Delicious Asian Sauce. Served with Cool Lettuce Wraps.
    The lettuce was crispy-fresh and served as a fitting shell for a heaping of shredded chicken laced with Asian sauce.
    For my entree, I went with the Stacked Chicken Quesadilla, which features tortillas Layered with Melted Cheese, Chicken, Tomato, Black Beans and Green Chiles. Served with Sour Cream and Salsa. It was heavenly.
    The help was exceptional. Each waiter or waitress tended to my needs as they were evident.
    As for the beverage program, was okay. I had a Moscow Mule that was on point. But a margarita was on the weak side. I’m sure it was just a hiccup.
    Grand Lux Cafe is open 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursdays. On weekends, the hours are 10 a.m. to midnight (11 p.m. on Sundays). Weekend Brunch is on Saturdays and Sundays 10:00AM – 2:00PM.
    The Atlanta restaurants scene is booming. The city’s suburban outposts, including places like Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Johns Creek and Alpharetta are all experiencing a restaurant rebirth as developers look to branch out beyond Atlanta’s core.
