There are seven types of pancakes on the

menu at Atlanta’s Pancake Social, and all are

great, but what I’m telling you to order are the

waffles. For they’re not just any waffles. They’re

savory sourdough waffles born from co-owner

Anne Quatrano’s 27 - year-old starter. The result?

A crisp, tangy delight served hot and hissing

under a silky splotch of butter. Just add syrup.

THE LAST TIME I WAS IN

Los Angeles, my friend suggested

we meet for an afternoon cocktail

at Atrium, a breezy new bar

and restaurant in Los Feliz. She

knows me too well. First there

was a succulent-filled alleyway

leading to the big brick building.

Then there were the pastel

ceramic planters brimming with

tropical leaves, the plush velvet

booths, the funky graphic

wallpaper, the giant horseshoe-

shaped bar with brass accents,

and all that California sunlight

streaming in. Oh, and a real live

tree growing in the middle of

everything. Though those BBQ-

dusted potatoes with onion

dip called me, the vibes alone

had me. Two drinks in, the

place had me questioning why

I haven’t made the move from

New York City to that L.A. lyfe.

Getting Lit

I’ve got a small collection of matchbooks,

but I’ll never use the ones from

Reception Bar in New York City. Why,

you ask? Because they’re just so

beautiful! Owner Katie Rue opted for

an oversize format and based her

design on vintage Korean postage stamps.

They’re a nod to both her Korean

heritage and the garden-inspired drinks

at her serene bar.
