PHAT Tuesday

Sorry, I couldn't help myself with that title... In all seriousness, next Tuesday, March 8, is not the day to stay home on the couch (sorry Real Housewives of Miami). There are parties galore for Fat Tuesday!

Start the festivities early with Atkins Park Tavern - Virginia Highland. They are throwing a Fat Tuesday party so fat with fun it starts at lunch and lasts into the night. When lunch includes beads, beer, hurricanes, oysters, gumbo, king cake, po' boys and jambalaya you know you've got to keep the fun going all night long.

Happily, the party continues at RA Sushi, the hip sushi restaurant and nightspot in Midtown. Decorations and food and drink specials set the stage for the Mardi RA MasqueRAde Ball featuring a DJ, a costume contest with a $100 first and $25 second prize, and a live drag show performance by The Armorettes from 7 - 9 p.m. There's no cover charge to come to the ball, and costumes are highly appropriate! Fat Tuesday party food and drinks include $5 Cajun wings, $8 voodoo rolls, $5 hur"RA"canes, $3 domestic beers and $2 hot sake. Party cranks from 7 p.m. until closing.

See, it really is PHAT...!
