BIG BOI, of OutKast
Favorite restaurant: Spondivits
"For a minute, I was getting the lobster tails like every day."

BERT WEISS, host of "The Bert Show" on Q100 weekday mornings
Favorite place to chill: Tin Lizzy's Cantina in Buckhead.
"[It's] casual and there's a nice 'Cheers'- type feel to the place. Not too young, not too old; just a place to have some solid Mexican food, cold beers and listen to some live music from time to time."

NE-YO, singer/songwriter
Favorite spot: Lenox Mall
"I'm still kind of new to the whole area ... but the mall is always one of the first places you find. And Lenox, I mean, it's a good mall."

MIKE GEIER, frontman for Kingsized.
Favorite spot for an after-show nightcap: Brewhouse Cafe in Little Five Points
"It's the patio that's the big draw for me — just being outside and the camaraderie of having some beers with the fellows."

AMY DUMAS, former WWE wrestler, frontwoman for the punk pop rock band the Luchagors and host of "PunkRockaLypse," a one-hour radio show Sundays at 9 p.m. on Project 9-6-1.
Favorite sweet indulgence: Paolo's Gelato Italiano.
"Paolo's makes you feel like you're in Europe, but at the same time it feels local and Atlanta, too. And the chocolate banana crepe is the perfect ratio of banana, crepe and ice cream."

MARA DAVIS, Dave FM host
Favorite place to take out-of-town guests: 14th and Peachtree streets in Midtown for cocktails
"There are tons of choices — the rooftop at Shout, Trois or Tap."

BRANN DAILOR, drummer for Mastodon
Favorite restaurant: El Myr Burrito Lounge in Little Five Points
"Awesome jukebox and killer food. If the band is on its way to rehearse or write a song and happens to pass El Myr, they'll often pull over for 'just one drink'..."
