Here's What You Do does a new day plan every day. Like us on Facebook below to get updates on your Facebook page.
Here's what you do Wednesday:
First: Start off with the smoked salmon at the Cafe at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead. Tomato, Red Onion, Capers, Cream Cheese and Fresh Bagel. Add to it a cup of their exquisite coffee. ($20 per person).

Second: It's Spa day. Well, spa morning. Whether you're a fella or a gal, everyone needs a little TLC from time to time. Haute Living Magazine has a top five spas in Atlanta list here. To keep on schedule, try out Spa Sydell in the Buckhead Plaza location. Take the morning to try out a message and the signature facial. ($180 for half day package).

Third: Have lunch at Star Provisions in West Midtown. After all that healthiness at the spa, it's time to be a little naughty. Have the pot roast sandwich with red onion marmalade and horse radish mayo. Top it off with a glass bottle coke. Did you know they fly it in from *gasp* Mexico?! ($12 per person). Check out the cheese shop while you're there. So, so good.
BTW, Star is actually a group a restaurants around Atlanta with the nexus in west midtown. Check out their site some time. It's pretty cool. Particularly, the Feed page which has lots recipes.
Fourth: Get your picnic on. No picnic is good without a pic-a-nic basket. Macy's has good ones. This one below is pretty nice, and is going for about $80 right now.

If you are really into the picnic thing, splurge on the basket. It's worth it. Check this one out from Amazon. It's called the Windsor. Makes a great Christmas Present. ($234)
 |
| If you want to go all out, get the Windsor picnic basket from Amazon. It's the only basket you'll ever need. |
With basket in hand, head on over to Whole Foods in Buckhead, and pick up some cherries, grapes, sliced mango, some spinach and artichoke dip, a fresh baguette, some brie, some jalapeno jack cheese, and, of course, a nice bottle of red zinfandel. You could also get prosecco if you're in an Italian, bubbly kinda mood. Pack it all in, and head on over to the show. ($ - $40 for food. Picnic basket is an investment).
Fifth: Nap. Bring some energy to the show via the best way we know how. A late afternoon nap. Follow the perfect bed rules.
Finally: Daaaa dum, Daaaa dum, Dadum, Dadum, Dadum. Go hear the movies. ($29 per person for terrace seats, plus about $10 for parking).
