tastes of the town - View this location on map few places can be said to be definitively atlantan, but the colonnade ( 404-874-5642) is one: a meat-and-three restaurant with a full bar (rare) and a sizable gay clientele (more rare). the resulting mix is spectacular: black fingernails, sansabelt trousers, birthday tiaras, hawaiian shirts, all in a buzzing carpeted dining room with efficiently friendly waiters. when it comes to ordering, stick to the classics: a bloody mary to start ($5.50), fried chicken with yeasty dinner rolls straight from the school cafeteria ($10.95) and the days pie ($3.50) New York Times. 1879 cheshire bridge road ne, Atlanta, GA Restaurant
