Where did your (2010 and) 2011 EAV dollars go?
« on: January 15, 2012, 11:57 pm »
I've always enjoyed this tradition that Cap'n Ken started.  For some reason, I thought of it today and decided to check my 2011 spending in the village.  I couldn't find a thread for 2010, but here is the 2009 spending thread which links back to previous ones.

In keeping with Ken's tradition, numbers in parenthesis are 2008, 2009, and 2010 ranks:

2011
1. Midway Pub (3, 4)
2. Park Pet Supply (4, 1, 2)
3. So Ba (N/A, N/A, 5)
4. Earl (5, 2, 7)
5. Holy Taco (6, 3, 1)
6. Tomatillos (N/A, N/A, N/A)
7. Burger Win (N/R, N/R, N/R)
8. Graveyard Tavern (N/R, N/R, N/R)
9. Flat Iron (N/R, N/R, N/R)
10. Urban Cannibals (N/R, N/R, 10)

I'm only listing the top 10 since it's a pain to do any more than that.  I definitely spent a lot more time socializing at Midway this past year.  Holy Taco took the biggest hit, likely due to the introduction of Tomatillos and crossing Blue Frog off our list.  So Ba still gets most of our dining dollars and Park Pet Supply continues to take a large chunk of our money (b/c they, like our dogs, are awesome).

I think 529 is a victim of my inability to track cash expenditures.  The Earl would like be higher as well, if I kept track of cash ticket buys.  I haven't caught as many shows this year so I was surprised to see them at #4, although I think that's due to us eating there more often this past year.

...and for history's sake, 2010:
1. Holy Taco
2. Park Pet Supply
3. East Atlanta Tattoo
4. Midway Pub
5. So Ba
6. Joe's Coffee
7. EARL
8. Blue Frog Cantina
9. Buddy's
10. Urban Cannibals

Yeah, I blew it doing 2010. Turns out a year later it's something some people actually liked! Gotta get on 2011 this week.

Every year ('least since Ad's been born and UC opened) it's the same for us, the Holy Trinity of EAV Spending:
 
Joe's
Holy Taco
Urban Cannibals
 
With Grant Central and the Shell station rounding out the top five.  Trader's usually hangs about at 6th or 7th.
 
Before Ad, the EARL and Flat Iron were much more prominent, and when Cafe Hinds was open, they got a good bit.

I don't know how I'd easily compile mine since we use so many different cards in the Village but for us I could hazard this guess at the top five:

1.  Midway
2.  Flat Iron
3.  Graveyard
4.  EARL
5.  Grant Central

Midway and Flat Iron are probably 90% of our Village dollars spent. 

Others in the top ten are probably Holy Taco, Glenwood, Park Pet Supply, Joe's, Armor Tire

Now that I think about it though, Kevin gets a lot of his cigarettes at that East Atlanta Market...

I didn't include the Shell station or Buddy's, both of which would probably push others out of my top 10.
