    Now Serving: Ms. Icey’s Kitchen & Bar In Decatur

    2 Min Read

    Serving to-die-for cornbread, greens and choice meats, a new eatery opened in metro Atlanta in 2018 and it’s been kind of a big (and good) deal.

    Ms. Icey’s Kitchen & Bar, a restaurant from Sim Walker, the proprietor of Midtown’s Negril Village, opened in a modest shopping center at 1371 Clairemont Road in Decatur, 30333.

    It quickly became one of the best black-owned restaurants in Atlanta.

    The restaurant has a lively, familial atmosphere. On Ms. Icey’s Instagram page, there are several pictures of close friends, family and associates.

    When I visited I had the brown stew chicken and rice, which were exceptional. Most of the dishes come in a black skillet, giving the customer a down-home sort of vibe about the kitchen, as if your Grandma was cooking in the rear.

    I also had a margarita, which was a spirited cloudly drink made fresh from the bar. I had another.

    The eatery’s Instagram page says, “ms.iceyskitchenThis is Marva, Ms. Chan, and Ms. Karlene on one Carrot Juice! Plus they made Ms. Icey’s recipe. You don’t get this just like that. This is years of tradition and experience going into one Carrot Juice! Trying to tell y’all. This a magic moment and plenty more are coming. @ms.iceyskitchen.

    We look forward to going to Ms. Icey’s again and experiencing it once again.

    Final Word

    Atlanta continues to be a place with plentiful things to do, see and eat!  If you like that part of town, don’t sleep on College Park either.

    As for eateries below I-20, these Southside Atlanta restaurants have developed quite a following.

    Have you been trying to launch your dream but so far only gotten *crickets*? Does “life” keep getting in your way, delaying you from achieving your biggest goals? I am going to teach you the secret to exponentially increasing your influence, income, and impact.

    This is THE #1 SECRET that has helped me overcome huge obstacles (drama, debt, divorce, deaths in my family, you name it!) and achieve many of my biggest life goals. This secret explains:

    • how I got 2-Time Oscar-winner Jane Fonda to be my personal mentor;
    • how I won the opportunity to give a TED talk;
    • how I got TWO BILLIONAIRES to make an offer to invest in my company;
    • how I got myself and my entire immediate family(!) accepted into Harvard University;
    • how I got executives from dozens of Fortune 100 companies to work with me;
    • how I went from having “just an idea” to being invited to join the CEO Council (an exclusive club for entrepreneurs with $1 million or more in revenues/investment) – in just 12 months!

    *Spoiler Alert*: My Secret Weapon (my superpower) is MY PITCH.

    REGISTER HERE

    What is a Pitch? Put simply, a pitch is a brief exchange with an influencer that gives you access to a larger stage.

    It doesn’t matter what goal you’re trying to achieve or what impact you’d like to have – nothing will change in your life until you develop a powerful pitch that can influence the right people so you can share your billiance on a larger platform.

    Communicating + connecting + influencing people to take ACTION = the ART of the PITCH. And it’s a skill set that every true Queen must master.

    Because the truth of the matter is this: Queens don’t spam (to spam is to share your message randomly with people who are not open to receiving it). Queens are not sitting at home wishing they could get someone’s attention.

    When Queens speak, people listen, care, and take action. How would your life be different if you learned to communicate in a way that got people to listen, care, and take action? This is the power of a masterful pitch.

    If you’re tired of talking about what you want to do and ready to become an influencer who is changing the world and cashing checks, you’ve got to learn how to PITCH LIKE A QUEEN.

    If you want 2019 to be different than last year (and the year before), you’ve got to level up your skills. And the most important skill you can master is THE ART OF THE PITCH. So Join Us in This Masterclass!

    This Masterclass is For You If:

    • You’re ready to start/grow your business
    • You want to launch a non-profit that can change people’s lives
    • You’re ready to get organized, center your energy, and stop feeling “all over the place”
    • You have a message or movement that you want to birth into the world
    • You’re seeking to advance your career and expand your influence
    • You want to build your personal brand and share your ideas with a larger audience
    • You want to attract investors and partners to join you in your vision
    • You want to overcome fear, be more confident, and start living those dreams you’ve imagined in your head for so long!

    • How to be FASCINATING (not factual!) when you’re giving a pitch, speech, presentation, or meeting someone new
    • How to TRANSFER YOUR INSPIRATION to everyone you talk to so that they engage with your message emotionally and become your ambassadors
    • WHAT TO SAY in front of ANY influential person or audience, to get them to remember you, connect with you, and take action! (You’ll never be afraid of not knowing what to say again!)
    • How to PRESENT YOURSELF to potential partners or investors (including the exact slides to use!)
    • How to TRANSFORM your business, increase your income and impact, and start living the life of your dreams in the next 90 days!

  • Atlanta Produced-'Godzilla vs. Kong Begins Filming

    Atlanta Produced-‘Godzilla vs. Kong Begins Filming

    2 Min Read

    The highly anticipated film “Godzilla vs. Kong” shot some scenes in the Atlanta area earlier this year, but now principal production began this week in faraway tropical locations. The movie follows on the heels of 2017’s highly successful “Skull Island.”

    The new movie featuring Godzilla and King Kong combines two of the greatest monsters in motion picture history.

    ‘Godzilla vs. Kong begins filming

    The film is being helmed by director Adam Wingard (“The Guest,” “You’re Next”) and stars Alexander Skarsgård (“Big Little Lies,” “The Little Drummer Girl”), Millie Bobby Brown (“Stranger Things”), Rebecca Hall (“Christine,” “Professor Marston and the Wonder Women”), Brian Tyree Henry (“Atlanta,” “Widows”), Shun Oguri (“Gintama”), Eiza González (“Baby Driver”) and Jessica Henwick (“Iron Fist”) among others.

    Hawaii and Australia will be primary locations for filming. The movie, a Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Entertainment production,  is set to be released on May 22, 2020.

    Excitement is brewing for monstrous entertainment on the big screen.

    Legendary Pictures president Thomas Tull kicked it off when he announced during at a panel that alongside a second Godzilla film, major abominations like Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah would all see the light of day.

    Atlanta has become a movie mecca in recent years and Georgia has been a favorite location for TV productions since the state instituted generous tax breaks for film companies that agree to shoot locally. Projects from CBS, NBC, HBO, BET and more are slated to shoot in the metro area in 2018-19 and the foreseeable future.

    With more than 700 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.
    There are so many movies filmed in Atlanta these days that it’s hard to keep up with it all. That’s why I suggest you subscribe to AtlantaFi.com to get all the freshest movie casting calls, celeb sightings and Atlanta happenings delivered to your inbox.
