Hump It Til You Love It

Rise & Dine: Noon Midtown

1080 Peacthree Street NE, Suite 6, Midtown; 404.496.4891

Done up simply with grain field-painted walls, concrete floors, and chair & bench seating, this new, health-centric breakfast and lunch nook serves up sandwiches in the morning (Prosciutto Baguette w/ sweet butter, parmesan) and afternoon (Meatloaf; Sopressata Panino w/ spicy salami, Fontina, & arugula); beverages range from "Espresso Breve" (from NC's Counter Culture) to "Complete Recovery" juice blend from ATL's Arden's Garden, essential after a night of Sheila's Tequila, especially if you're planning to hit Tim's Gym.

Tap That: Highland Tap Anniversary Specials

1026 N. Highland Ave, Virginia Highland; 404.875.3673

Tap's celebrating 20 years with weeklong price breaks, from $10 off the Steak Oscar (w/ jumbo lump crab, asparagus, mashed potatoes, & bearnaise, normally $30), to $2 Sam Adams drafts complete with a free pint glass (a somewhat disgusting double-boon if you've got leftover bearnaise).

Wear: FUCT

Available at Standard Peachtree: 1841 Peachtree Rd NE, Buckhead; 404.355.1410

Preaching "cultural revolution through a total assault on pop culture", FUCT's visually arresting new line includes the Shriner-tweaking "Keys to the Universe" (orange, yellow, & purple skull rocking Fuct fez in outer space), "Canned Heat" (Vietnam-era photo of a machine gun toting soldier on a 'copter), and the army-helmeted "Turn on the Middle Class", reading "1970: Smoking Dope & F***ing in the Streets" -- a sight that, given 1970 grooming habits, is particularly fuct up.
