Though dates for national food days are determined well in advance, we'd like to think it was no accident that National Margarita Day falls on a Monday this year. Who doesn't need a boozy, icy treat to cap off what is irrefutably the worst day of the week?
There are plenty of ways to celebrate the day around Atlanta, either at local bars and restaurants or your own kitchen. Ole!
