    For Music...there's the Nick, Zydeco, Bottletree and Workplay. For food and drink there is the Lakeview District and the Five Points South area. Ocean and 26 are nice high-end restaurants in the Five Points South area...the Lakeview Oyster House is one of my wife's favorites. J. Clydes is another nice place to wet your whistle in the Five Points area. For the lighter side, Cosmo's Pizza is a great feed. Surin is an excellent Thai restaurant with three locations. For BBQ there is always Dreamland, Johnny Ray's, Jim & Nick's, Full Moon, Costa's and many more. We have a couple of local burger chains that deserve mention....Milo's and Hamburger Heaven...both are out of this world. The Fish Market is a really great seafood place. For meat and three, you can't beat Nikki's on Finley which is really not too far from Legion Field. We have a number of great Italian places spread out all over town....and a bunch of Mediterranean choices. I'll have my wife add some suggestions when she gets home.

    For Soul food.....find a Green Acres location...there are several around town. Another great meat and three joint is the Irondale Cafe...which is the basis for the book & movie, "Fried Green Tomatoes."

    For wetting your whistle, there's always Billy's Tavern in English Village and the Barking Kudu.
