re: Birmingham eats and drinks recommendations?

Wow!

This thread delivers. Thanks very much for all of the advice. Keep it coming.

We are coming from Nova Scotia. I have been through the area a couple of times, but never, really experienced Birmingham. And that's what we intend to do this time.

We will be staying at Shoal Creek. I know that is not exactly downtown. We'll probably plan to take a cab home after our night out.

Can't wait!
