Should you decide to spend the weekend in our favorite city, we put together a list of some of our go-to spots!*

MOUNTAIN BROOK:

Kynsley lived in the heart of Mountain Brook when we first met, so we have spent a lot of time strolling around the villages.

For breakfast, we recommend either Crestline Bagel Company (Crestline Village) or Lady Bird Taco (Lane Parke).

For lunch, we recommend Rougaroux or Surf Hound, both found in Mountain Brook Village.

For dinner, we recommend Abhi in Mountain Brook Village.

For a fun nightcap, we recommend Oteys - Crestline or Key Circle Commons in English Village.

For a fun outdoor activity, we recommend strolling around the Botanical Gardens.

DOWNTOWN BIRMINGHAM:

One of our favorite things to do together is enjoy a good meal at a nice restaurant, and we think downtown Birmingham is home to some of the best restaurants. We hope that you have just as good of an experience at these places as we have, and if you need pics for reference, follow Kynsley's food instagram, @Phone81st.

For casual dining, we recommend Back40 for a burger, El Barrio for Mexican, and Red or White for pizza.

For fine dining, we recommend Chez Fon Fon for our favorite trio: escargot, steak frites, and an orange thing; Automatic Seafood for oysters and fresh seafood; and Armour House for a first-class steakhouse experience.

For a fun nightcap, we recommend Golden Age Wine Garden, Pilcrow Cocktail Cellar (we ended our first date here), Adios, and Neon Moon (for Country music and dancing).

HOMEWOOD:

Homewood is another cute burrow nestled in Birmingham. There's a number of shops and eateries to walk to in its downtown area.

For lunch, we recommend Johnny's. It's a great spot for southern cooking with a greek twist.

For dinner, hands down, Gianmarco's. We recommend dining in the wine bar. Kynsley's personal favorite is the baked rigatoni, and Brady loves whatever steak is on special and always pairs it with the macaroni & cheese.

*Disclaimer: check Resy and/or OpenTable for reservations for the fine dining options several weeks in advance.
