In addition to being a box-office draw, the Harvard-educated Damon is a liberal activist, philanthropist, and Miami triathlon competitor.

Situated on Sunset Boulevard., its nondescript exterior offers no hint of the festive ambiance that awaits customers inside the space that’s architecturally designed like an outdoor villa on a warm summer’s night.

This weekend instead of driving around aimlessly, why not make a night of it on Atlanta’s Westside?

The worst part of the day might just be when you come home from work, stare blankly at your cupboards as your stomach rumbles and wonder what am I going to eat? Instead of running to the nearest McDonald's, why not try the nearest Barnes & Noble?
