I ate at the original one in Atlanta a few years ago and it is phenomenal.  The best paella I've had outside of Madrid... not that I'm an expert on paella by any means, but still.  They do excellent work.

Reasonably priced drinks and food and a great vibe.  Great spot for local hangout!

Schulman's looks like fun.

Also nice to see at least part of the Southern Turf........is actually the Southern Turf!

Would have preferred the entire building be the Southern Turf and the Sinatra bar somewhere in Printers Alley.
