Embrace The Roses

Join in the celebration of Caribbean culture at the Atlanta Caribbean Carnival. Bright costumes, music and parades are a large part of this festival, along with Caribbean food, arts and crafts, and other live entertainment. The festival is celebrated right before Lent, and is somewhat of a "last hurrah" before the observation of the Catholic tradition.

Head out for a romantic breakfast, brunch, lunch dinner or midnight snack at the R. Thomas Deluxe Grill. The 24 hour grill has become one of Atlanta's premier dining destinations, advertising a broad selection on the menu with a California-style flair. We recommend favorites like the Portabella Melt or Curry Coconut Seafood Linguine, and finishing off with dessert like Turtle Dove Cheesecake - yum!
