"On a night like this..."

So, last night my three best friends and I decided to go out to eat after work. There was a new place across the street (Luckie St.), so we decided to try it out. I volunteered to go in and ask for a menu to check prices and what not. While I was in there, I talked to the hostess and we became fast friends (already friends on FaceBook!). The prices weren't bad, so I told Lauren, Scottie, and Hilary that we should most definitely eat there.

We parked the car back at the Aquarium, free parking for being Coca-Cola employees. And walked back over to Luckie. We walked in, and a man greeted us and asked us for my last name to see if we had a reservation. He didn't see our name, only because we didn't make a reservation. So, he apologized and said very politely, "I am sorry, this is Family and Friends night, invitation only." We agreed, very dissapointed, and started to turn towards the door, until my good friend the Hostess interrupted the man, and said, "No, they are meeting another party, come on Mr. Christerson, right this way."

Now, we got excited. As soon as we sat down, we were greeted with our server. He introduced himself as Mike and told us that everything was free! He told us that we could order anything on the menu we wanted and it was free! So after he came back, we all ordered the most expensive thing. I ordered the "Luau Steak" ($26)!...

After the wonderful dinner, we left and decided to walk towards the Westin hotel downtown. It being the one of the tallest hotels downtown, it has a wonderful view as well as very classy restaurant on the top. Because of its very popular view, you usually have to pay to get to the top. But, somehow we managed to get a free ride to the 72 floor to the restaurant! What a night! We explored the view, looked at the wonderful skyline of Atlanta, and then ventured upstairs to the "Sundial Lounge." There we had a drink and enjoyed the rotating lounge as well as our wonderful friendships.

Oh Gosh! What a night! Free things are always good to have!
