Mix and mingle blouses and bangles at Boutique Karma (145 Sycamore St.), a long-standing local favorite for women’s fashion on Decatur’s downtown square. Boutique Karma overflows with textured tunics, colorful tops, unexpected dresses, and more in a range of figure-oh-so-flattering cuts and sizes. They love to layer looks with sumptuous natural fibers, dramatic drop-length necklaces, and scores upon scores of silky scarves (not all at one time, silly – Pace yourself!) Shop their artful, international selection with the help of store owners Jay and Raj. They’ve got eyes for design, fit, and fashion. Walk out with a winning ensemble for a holiday soiree or unforgettable gifts for the ladies on your list. Tuck a cuff – or three! – under the tree.

The dogs bite back at Dog Towne Franks (307B College Ave.) – and that’s a good thing. This newly opened hot dog and sausage spot offers quick bites, goooood cold beer, and a skate punk vibe. Try handcrafted hot dogs with inventive flavors like their P.B.R. (that’s pimento cheese, bacon, and pickled red onions, of course), El Jefe (which is sort of taco meets hot dog), and the Banh Mi dog (yes, please). Go beyond the dog with European comfort foods like pierogies, pretzels, kielbasa, and kraut. Bonus: Free onsite parking in the back. Check out their special Decks N Dogs art show THIS SATURDAY, Dec. 1 at 6 p.m., with 50+ painted decks by Atlanta/Decatur artists for sale. Looking for unique gifts for the skateboard enthusiasts on your list? Well, ollie ollie oxen free – you found ’em!

 Watch the game – any game – at Taco Mac (240 W. Ponce de Leon Ave.). With 63 flat-screen TVs, 100 beers on draft, and seating for the whole fan club, this local sports bar doesn’t play. Their menu offers classic American fare to pair with your Falcons game. Kick things off with a basket or two (or three) of their award-winning wings. Taco Mac serves up wings in 14 different flavors and styles like sweet chili sesame and Korean black garlic dry rub, and of course their unmistakable classic buffalo. They’ve got salads, wraps, and solid veggie sides, too… But chances are you’ll stick around for the Sweet Baby Ray’s hickory cheeseburger, SweetWater 420 fish and chips, or bacon chicken ranch tater toppers. ‘Tis the season!

Terrific Thursdays at Taco Mac: Enjoy half-price bottles of wine on Terrific Thursdays, and after 5pm, buy any of the “Beers of the Month” and keep the souvenir glass. Pick up $50 worth of Taco Mac gift cards for the holidays and earn $10 in bonus card dollars for yourself.
