Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a spectacular evening last night and that 2015 was celebrated in style. The last of the holidays are over and a new year begins today. To celebrate I am posting the last of a long month of wintery fun.
It’s hard to ice skate outside in Atlanta this past December. Unseasonably warm weather has closed and delayed a bunch of the skating rinks around the city but not the Southwest Rink at Park Tavern. The restaurant overlooks Piedmont Park and for the past bunch of years has been able to entertain those looking for a little icy fun with skating.
