I thought Atlantic Station might be an obvious “StayCation” idea, but until I went there myself I was a little hesitant. The last few times I had gone, it was not as populated as it was today, so, I felt totally safe and happy. There are so many stores and restaurants.  It is Atlantic Station Restaurant week this week, May 12 – 18 and benefits Autism Speaks at lunch and dinner. Participating Restaurants include: Chick-a-Biddy, Lobby Bar and Bistro, Meehan’s Public House, Copeland’s Cheesecake Bistro, Atlantic Grill, California Pizza Kitchen, Rosa Mexicano, Strip and Yard House.

I had lunch at Atlantic Grill, it was very good. Meatloaf sandwich, yummy! I know the fries look meh, but they were really good too. Service was excellent. When I left the restaurant, I crossed the street to take a photo. A very nice security guard stopped to tell me I could not take pictures. I think that is crazy so here are a couple I took.

Then I ran into H&M. Whew it is a tough shopping environment. Lot’s of deals. I got two skirts for $10.00 and a shirt for $5.99.

So have fun at Atlantic Station but don’t take any photos, crazy I know!
