Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar is reviving the tradition of family and friends sitting down to Sunday dinner by offering its three-course prime rib dinner at a special lower price of $29.95 per guest every Sunday in July and August (price excludes tax and gratuity). The Sunday prime rib dinner includes 12 ounces of succulent prime rib served with a trio of sauces; a choice of The Wedge, Fleming's or Caesar salads; choice of one side dish; and a choice of dessert. Since Fleming's is doing all the work, there's no planning/cooking/cleaning to eat into those precious Sunday afternoon hours. Now that's a succulent thought! 
Cheshire Bridge Road is anything but boring. So you know the third annual Taste & Tour of Cheshire Bridge on July 20-21 will be loads of fun. When else will you visit The Colonnade and Woodfire Grill in one night? The two-day tour will feature food tastings, exhibits, product samples, discounts, raffle prizes and more in this celebration of the famous street's diversity. During the 5 - 10 p.m. tour, "tourists" can take bus route 27 from the Lindbergh MARTA Station or park at one of the designated parking areas then hop on and off the tour trolley to visit participating businesses. Buy tickets online -- it's free for children 12 and under. Attendees also can follow the Taste & Tour on Twitter (@tourofCB) or "like" the Facebook page for regular updates. The Lindbergh-LaVista Corridor Coalition (LLCC) and Public Broadcasting Atlanta are sponsoring this year's event, and proceeds will be used to explore the feasibility of establishing a Community Improvement District (CID) in the area.
