This week, Perks is giving you and your tennis partner a chance at 60 minutes on the court with the

CLASSIC World Premiere Weekend at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra In case you needed an excuse to reacquaint yourself with your tuxedo, the orchestra is kicking off the season with new music from local composers Michael Gandolfi and Jennifer Higdon, and Mozart's 39th Symphony to finish off the evening. (We hear he's an up-and-comer.) |

SO ICY
Haute Ice Cream Sandwiches
It's hot... and getting hotter. So it's only right to take refuge in the sweet, sweet solace of ice cream
sandwiches, available during lunch only at Miller Union. The chef's whim and seasonal ingredients will
determine your choices, but expect homemade variations like butterscotch marshmallow or roasted banana. We
believe in these whims.

LOW COUNTRY
Crawfish and Dixie Beer at Serpas
So you're having a hard time staying indoors lately. Serpas Restaurant understands, and is hosting an
outdoor low country boil with endless crawfish, jambalaya, bread pudding and $3 Dixie Beers from Louisiana.
Add live music and a few hundred like-minded patio warriors, and you've got yourself an afternoon.

BY DESIGN
Spicy Bourbon and Furniture in Poncey-Highlands
There's a lot of design events going on this Saturday. Your concern, however, is with the after-party... and
it's called Yall & Us. Basically, it's a boozy design exhibition (or a designy booze exhibition) with
eclectic furniture and housewares from 15 national designers, gratis Tasty Spicys (bourbon and
spicy ginger ale) and a DJ. No dancing on the furniture.

DOG DAYS
Two Days of Dancing and Rooftop Pooling
Coming off of a three-day weekend, we think it's only appropriate to celebrate a four-day work week... with
a two-day party. FLUX at the Georgian Terrace Hotel starts Saturday with DJ Vicki Powell until 3am, then
moves to the rooftop pool on Sunday with a brunch buffet, mimosas and $12 build-your-own Bloody bar. Two-day
weekends can still hang.

- Sat at 9:30pm till Sun at 9:30pm, Livingston Restaurant + Bar, 659 Peachtree St NE, 404-897-5000
HAPPY HOURING
Custom Bourbon and Sliders at Paces 88
By the time Wednesday comes around, it's time to start thinking about bourbon... and burgers. Together.
Every Wednesday, Paces 88 pairs live music on the patio, gratis sliders and cocktails made with their custom
bourbon blend (think Kentucky Bourbon Sparkler with vanilla bean syrup and sparkling wine). You'll
take yours neat, thank you.
