Creating Loafing is an alternative weekly newspaper that publishes in four cities including Atlanta. On the Creative Loafing website, there are a variety of different topics in which you can read up on such as food, music, food and drink, events, and news & views. In the news section, there are a series of articles named "Six Hours" where they take you through a day-long stroll through one of Atlanta's many neighborhoods around the metro area.
In this particular article, Creative Loafing takes you through a six hour stroll of the strip malls of Buford Highway. Buford Highway is one of those places that you may pass everyday and never actually take the time to see what goes on within its streets. If you drove the length of the highway from beyond I-285 into Buckhead, you might not even notice the wonderland passing you by. Without looking closely, it’s just an ugly stretch of jumbled strip malls and gas stations. But these jumbled strip malls and gas stations include various places that will be able to transport you to the other side of the world, where there are smells and flavors that you might not be able to experience anything.
The tour starts off with a stop at El Rey de Taco with their appetizing mini tacos that will give you a fresh start to the Buford Highway experience and will also leave you room for the other treats that would be sure to come. Following the plan that this site has set for you, the night would end with dinner at a restaurant name Sushi House Hayakawa that claims to one of the city's most authentic Japanese restaurants that has a great selection of sake and sochu.
