Nation Guide: Roasted Oysters in Charleston
By The Nation
At Bowen's they shovel piles of roasted oysters on your table, or you can get shrimp and other seafood. The restaurant isn't much to look at, that's for sure, but the food is wonderful. Even the sides - fries and cornbread hush puppies - are excellent. The shrimp are large and lightly breaded, served on a disposable plate out on the deck (or inside if you're there in the cooler months). They have other food, too, depending on the catch that day, but don't miss the shrimp. [or the oysters, or the fries...]

Nation Guide: Historic Drinking in Atlanta
By The Nation
Seeped in history, Manuel's is the site of Jimmy Carter's announcement that he would run for governor of Georgia and the location of the famous "God is Dead" conversation among Emory theologians in the 1960s--original owner Manuel Maloof's ashes rest in an urn behind the bar, just behind the big portrait of FDR.
