Little Bangkok Thai

We used to know of a great local Thai food spot in Norcross that we would get take out from all the time. It was our go-to comfort food. So now we are down here in Brookhaven and we are so close to the ethnic mecca that is Buford highway and we need to find our comfort food. I looked up some places and I found one that got some decent reviews and was close. But after driving up and down Buford Highway 3 times, we couldn't find it - most likely closed. Quickly searching out a decent alternative we found Little Bangkok Thai which is down Cheshire Bridge Rd. (yeah, not really Brookhaven, but close enough). It was a little hole in the wall but absolutely packed for a Sunday at 8pm. We were sat in about 5 minutes and service was speedy. They had all the traditional thai dishes as well as Chinese food if your date doesn't like Thai.

We had:

• Thai iced tea - Malory had to fill her sweet tooth
  
• Coconut soup - excellent, great flavor and fresh ingredients
• Fried Spring rolls - your typical fried cabbage with tasty peanut sauce on the side

• Masaman Curry - (on the right) very fresh ingredients and a sweeter curry sauce than I have tasted before.
  
• Panang Curry -(on the left) again, fresh ingredients. The curry was spicy and flavorful.

We will definitely be hitting this destination again and will be a great weeknight takeout spot. Go check it out.

Ashford Park: Movie in the Park

The Ashford Park Civic Association is hosting a Movie in the Park tonight (8/28) at dusk (~8pm) in Ashford Park. Not sure what movie is showing- but I'm sure it will be kid friendly.

Enjoy!

First Post!

Cory and I decided to try our hand at blogging... we are focusing on our new home base: Brookhaven, Georgia. We feel that there is such a lack of consolidated information about Brookhaven. Since its not a City, just an area, there is no single source of information. We hope that this blog can be a reference, guide, and review (of course) of this area we now call home!

Brookhaven is a small area north of Buckhead. Once known as North Atlanta, Brookhaven has started to spread from the wealthy suburbs north of Peachtree Street, to the areas of Ashford Park, Brookhaven Heights, and Brookhaven Fields.

Cory and I just bought a house in the Brookhaven Heights neighborhood, and so far we absolutely LOVE the area- it's like our own little gem. We feel a part of the big city, but also a part of a small community.

Please check back for our Brookhaven Review posts about local restaurants, shops, festivals, activities, and organizations. We welcome any comments or suggestions! Hope to be back blogging soon.

Thanks!

Malory and Cory
