Atlanta “divorce guru,” Mari LaScala is a former divorce lawyer and the co-founder of Divorce Concierge Services, an Atlanta-based company offering consultation services with the goal of simplifying the divorce process. We asked her to share her favorite things about the community she calls home, Vinings.
Why I Love Vinings
I love Vinings because it has that small town feel in the middle of a busy city – fire station, library, stores and restaurants. It really is a small community and although we have only lived in Vinings less than a year, we are getting to know a lot of our neighbors.
Where to Eat:
I am a huge fan of the chargrilled oysters at C&S Seafood and Oyster Bar (candsoysterbar.com). This restaurant has a wonderful menu and wine list with exceptional service. Canoe (canoeatl.com) is a date night favorite. I love the atmosphere and the outdoor bar when the weather is nice. Muss & Turners (mussandturners.com) also has a casual and laid back appeal with a local, organic menu.
Where to Shop
Sandpiper (shopsandpiper.com) is my go to store whenever I need something new and stylish to wear. Etc. East (etc-east.com) has unique jewelry and handbags and a friendly, helpful staff. CamiCakes Cupcake (camicakes.com) has the most delicious cupcakes and the perfect place to pick up a little something to brighten someone’s day.
Coming Up
The Vinings Down Hill 5K (viningsdownhill5k.com) will happen this summer. It’s a 5K with a downhill ending and a great celebration in the Vinings Jubilee to follow. The Vinings Jubilee Fall Festival (viningsjubilee.com) is a fun place to take the kids with a petting zoo, face painting and pumpkin painting.
