These are of course solely my opinion. DOWNTOWN Lombardi's, 94 Upper Pryor St. SW, 522-6568 [good Italian in Underground; excellent for both lunch and dinner; limited seating and more difficult to get into for parties bigger than 5] Nikolai's Roof, 255 Courtland St. NE, 659-2000 [fabulous food; impeccable service; great view; fixed price; a place I wish people with money would take me to; make your reservations now] LITTLE FIVE POINTS (A close-in neighborhood, very accessible via MARTA east line station E3 or E4. Home to socially responsible people, punks, new agers, and their friends) Babushkas, 469 Highland Ave. NE, 688-0836 [tasty, comforting peasant food served by hospitable folks in an unpretentious setting; must try the Serbian or angel cake] Bridgetown Grill, 1156 Euclid Ave. NE, 653-0110 [festive Caribbean atmosphere; famous for jerk chicken and jerk pork chops] Calcutta, 1138 Euclid Ave. NE, 681-1838 [the best somosas in town; spicing and service can be uneven; still, one of my comfort restaurants] Eat Your Vegetables Cafe, 438 Moreland Ave. NE, 523-2671 [beyond a variety of interesting and nourishing veggie entries (tempora watercress...), there are often fish and Mexican entrees] MIDTOWN (Just up the MARTA north line) Hera of India, Rio Shopping Center, corner North Ave. and Piedmont. [currently my favorite Indian restaurant in town] Mary Mac's Tea Room, 224 Ponce de Leon Ave. NE, 875-4337 [Southern style food at its southern-est... vegetables cooked to death in pork products, but the plastic place settings & friendly, down-home service are worth the experience; good local color; not at all pricey] Peasant chain restaurants (including Pleasant Peasant, 555 Peachtree St. NE, 874-3223; Country Place at Colony Square, 1197 Peachtree St. NE, 881-0144) [local chain that's well regarded by many; they are a little too New Yorkish for my taste... little space between tables, boisterous... but the food's good] PONCEY-HIGHLANDS (East of Midtown and quite close to downtown, home to whatever yuppies are now a pleasant mix of others, including folks from the suburbs to find out about city life) Camille's Italian Restaurant, 1186 N.Highland Ave NE, 872-7203 [family-type; excellent salads; the calamari is very fine] Indigo Coastal Grill, 1397 N.Highland Ave. NE, 876-0676 [fresh grilled seafood with an island flavor] Partners Restaurant, 1399 N.Highland Ave. NE, 876-8104 [slightly more upscale than other things on my list; sophisticated atmosphere; try the seafood cooked in parchment] SOUTHWEST Paschal's Restaurant, 830 Martin Luther King Drive SW, 577-3150 [Southern soul cooking; home of many civil rights get-togethers; fried chicken is a sure bet] (2) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 8 May 91 12:05:29 CDT From: James Mouw Subject: Altanta Eats Oh Karen, Karen, Karen. Japanese food is fine and good, but when my thoughts turn to Atlanta I think of Hush Puppies. There are NO Hush Puppies in Chicago and after five years in North Carolina I can no longer survive without a regular Hush Puppy fix. So, please, where does one go in Atlanta for Barbeque (vinegar base, not tomatoe) and HUSH PUPPIES? (3) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 08 May 91 09:07:51 EDT From: Lenore Coral Subject: British theses Christian: I've been meaning to write to you regarding acquiring British dissertations -- UMI did announce that they would now be handling British dissertations (other than Cambridge and Oxford, of course!!) -- presumably they are getting them on the same basis that they get American dissertations. They were supposed to be issuing a British dissertations list -- I don't know if it has ever come out. I've never had problems getting permissions from music authors (if I could find them) and then getting British dissertations without restrictions on them. If people are getting things through the British Library, they may be getting BL restrictions imposed on things which, if gotten from the source, would not have such restrictions. (4) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 08 May 91 09:10:00 EDT From: David Block Subject: Latin American approval plans Wanda V. Dole asks about "an" approval plan for Latin American history. Traditionally, libraries with strong Latin American programs have relied on a stable of plans run through profiles with country-specific vendors, (see _Selection of Library Materials for Area Studies_ (ALA, 1990), pp. 125-384, for discussions of how these plans have worked. See also William Ilgen and Deborah Jackubs, _Acquisitions Manual_, for examples of approval profiles. There seems to be a movement toward consolidation afoot in the current market. Libros Centroamericanos, operating out of Redlands, CA, has for more than a decade covered that subcontinent. Editorial Inca, in Miami, FL, currently supplies approval coverage for Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. And Fernando Garcia Cambeiro, of Buenos Aires, is putting together a consortium for all of Latin America, with selections made in Argentina and the universe of available titles, i.e. those submitted by dealers in the program, displayed on a compact disk, "Latbook," (the disk sells for ca $500). The Latin American Bookstore is taking a less ambitious approach to area-wide coverage but follows the Garcia Cambeiro approach, primary reliance on in-country booksellers, to supply notification of publications and ultimately book stock based on selec- tions made by LAB's staff. A second selection, from library-supplied profiles, brings books to customers in this country. We, at Cornell, know the LAB, find them knowledgeable and open, and use their lists to supplement what we receive through in-country booksellers. Obviously, their prices reflect the extra-intermediate niche they occupy, but for a library without a Latin American specialist, they can provide a very useful service.
