Sometimes, the finer things in life are quite simple. Take, for example, a nice stroll in sunny weather, a friendly smile, puppies, and so on. All of these things are generally simple, and we see them happening day to day, sometimes going unnoticed.
As a senior in college, I have reached the point of appreciating each day more and more as they pass by. So, on Wednesday, I decided to take someone of a "personal day." The weather was excellent, a beautiful sunny day in the high 60s, and after class, I decided to strictly do "fun."
What's more fun and enjoyable than sitting outside and eating cake?
Nothing.
So, I gathered up the roomies, and we came up with a plan.
Last Resort Grill, a local restaurant located downtown, is extremely well known for it's variety of cakes and cheesecakes (among countless other menu items). Famous for their colorful mural on the outside wall of the restaurant, they have become an Athens classic. They are located on Clayton Street, and are almost always bumpin' with plenty of customers, and happy full tummies.
I mean, look at this stuff.
I'm probably one of the biggest #foodporn Instagram junkies that you will ever meet (or read?). So, you can imagine how disappointed I felt when I learned that they do not have their own instagram account. However, they do have a geolocation that is frequently used and provides me with plenty of instal-worthy pictures (praise!).
The Last Resort website also features many great photos and a fabulous up-to-date website, and they also post their weekly/daily specials on their Facebook and Twitter pages. Their Twitter account seems to be currently inactive, or has been abducted by alien-creatures.
My friends and I skipped our happy selves all the way to Last Resort in a glorious attempt to sit on the patio and enjoy a nice slice of cake.
$4.95.
Best money I've spent in a long time.
