  • Cece in the City Takes on the 2025 MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game

    This weekend was one for the books! I had the chance to attend the 2025 MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game, and let me tell you—it did not disappoint. I’ve been saying I wanted to get back outside more, dust off my camera, and dive deeper into the media space… and this was the perfect way to kick that off.

    From the moment I stepped into the stadium, the energy was electric. The lineup was stacked with celebs like Quavo, Prince Royce, Young Miko, Storm Reid, Druski, Jermaine Dupri, Kandi Burruss, Eladio, Funny Marco, Ronnie DeVoe, Wisin, Jerry Lorenzo, Myke Towers, Jordan Chiles, Maria Taylor, and more. It was like a star-studded family reunion on the field!

    I had some prime seats (shoutout to DJ Ms. Eclectic for getting me out there—she knows I’m serious about tapping more into sports and networking). The game was fun, the vibes were right, and the weather, although hot, was totally manageable.

    Highlight of the day? Snagging photos with Quavo, Ronnie DeVoe, Funny Marco, and Prince Royce—yes, you read that right! 📸

    The media setup was a little chaotic, but we pivoted through and still got great footage.

    This event reminded me why I love doing what I do. Long day? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. So don’t be surprised when you see Cece in the City popping up at more games and sporting events—this is just the beginning.

    Stay tuned, because the journey is getting real sporty over here! ⚾🎤📸

  • Back at the Lobster Trap: A Seafood Throwback with a Twist of New Leadership 🦞

    So, me and my homegirl decided to take a little seafood stroll down memory lane and hit up none other than Red Lobster. Yes, that Red Lobster — home of the iconic Cheddar Bay Biscuits that still slap just like you remember (and yes, we had to get extra to-go 😅).

    It’s honestly been years since I last stepped foot in a Red Lobster, but this time, something felt different — in a good way. Did you know Red Lobster now has a new CEO? Shoutout to Famolade Adamolekun, who recently stepped in to lead the brand. That’s major! It’s refreshing to see fresh leadership taking over a nostalgic name in dining, especially one that’s been around since 1968 — yep, Red Lobster has been serving up seafood classics for over 50 years.

    We pulled up expecting a quiet dinner, but to my surprise, the vibe was alive — not packed to the brim, but just the right amount of busy. A comfortable buzz of families, date nights, and friends catching up filled the room. The staff? Super friendly and attentive — customer service was on point!

    I went all in and got the crab legs 🦀 — juicy, tender, and seasoned just right. My homegirl tried the seafood boil, and it looked like it came straight from the bayou. You ever tried it? If not, that might need to be your next order!

    And of course, no Red Lobster trip is complete without those warm, cheesy biscuits. Iconic. Legendary. Still undefeated. 💛

    All in all, it was a vibe. Sometimes it’s good to revisit places from your past and see how they’re holding up — and Red Lobster? Still got it.

    When’s the last time you been to Red Lobster? Have you tried the boil yet? Let me know your go-to order.

  • My Hop n Go Tours Experience

    Y’all know Cece be in the city, and you already know I had to check out Hop n Go Tours—the ultimate sightseeing experience in Atlanta! From day tours and food tours to grown-and-sexy adult tours, Hop n Go is doing it all. I went on a two-hour adventure with our amazing tour guide, Alex, and let me tell you… she’s the real MVP!

    We rolled through ATL in style, soaking up the sights and history. Alex dropped gems on every stop—we hit Centennial Olympic Park, the Georgia State Capitol, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s home and exhibit, the Madame CJ Walker Museum, The Underground, and more. It wasn’t just a tour, it was a whole vibe!

    Alex knows her stuff. I even got a chance to chat with her one-on-one. Hop n Go started as her passion project after she moved from L.A. to Atlanta. She wanted to connect with the city on a deeper level, and since she loves traveling and meeting new people, she decided to bring those passions together and create something dope—and boom, Hop n Go Tours was born.

    When I asked her what she loves most about ATL, she said:

    1. Meeting new people and embracing the culture.
    2. All the unique experiences Atlanta has to offer.
    3. And of course… the food! (We definitely bonded over that one!)

    Hop n Go is a one-stop shop. Alex mixes history, music, and fun to give you a tour you won’t forget. Oh—and you can sip while you ride! Champagne, soft drinks, even adult beverages are available on board. Yes, ma’am!

    I had the best time learning about the city and snapping pics at the landmarks. I’m already planning a group tour with my Women Stand Strong crew—and we might just try the night tour next. Atlanta really shines when it lights up at night!

    So if you’re ever in the A—or even if you’re a local looking to explore your city in a new way—check out Hop n Go Tours. Alex is awesome, and her energy is contagious. Trust me, you’ll leave with memories, photos, and fun facts you’ll want to tell everybody.

  • My Trip to Boca ATL – Summerhill

    Let’s taco ‘bout a spot that had me vibin’ from the moment I walked in—Boca ATL, a charming Mexican restaurant tucked away in the heart of Atlanta. This place had been on my foodie radar for a minute, and I finally made it happen. Trust me when I say, it was worth the wait.

    First Impressions: Vibes on Point
    The moment I stepped into Boca, I felt like I’d been transported somewhere between a modern-day cantina and a Pinterest board dream. Bright colors, cute decor, and that cozy, can’t-leave-here-for-a-while energy. It’s the kind of place where you immediately think, “Yep—this is where the girls’ night starts or the solo lunch turns into a vibe.”

    Let’s Talk Tacos
    Okay, let’s get into the real reason I came—the food. I ordered tacos (of course), and they did what they needed to do! Flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Whether you’re a classic carne asada type or you’re feeling fancy with shrimp or birria, Boca knows what they’re doing. It’s the kind of meal that makes you nod after every bite like, “Mmmhmm, yep… this right here.”

    Service with a Smile
    You know how customer service can make or break a dining experience? Boca’s staff were super friendly, attentive, and just added to the welcoming energy of the spot. I love when a restaurant feels like you’re being hosted, not just served.

    A Little Sazón of History
    The name Boca means “mouth” in Spanish—perfect, right? In many Latin cultures, the phrase “una buena boca” can refer to a good taste, or even having a flair for flavor. Mexican cuisine itself is a rich fusion of indigenous and Spanish influences, with tacos dating back to the 18th century—originally a working-class street food that’s now taken over the world (and my cravings). So when you bite into a taco at a place like Boca, you’re literally tasting centuries of culture, tradition, and bold, beautiful flavor.

    Final Thoughts
    Boca ATL isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a whole experience. Good food, cute space, great people, and a little sprinkle of heritage? Say less. If you’re in the city and haven’t been, go ahead and add it to your list. And if you’ve already been—well, I totally get why you’d go back.

  • Rolling into March: Women Stand Strong Skating Meetup

    My second event of the weekend was our Women Stand Strong (WSS) March meetup, and this time, we decided to mix things up with some nostalgic fun—roller skating! It had been years since I laced up a pair of skates, but we hit the rink at Golden Glide, ready to roll.

    For those who don’t know, Golden Glide is an iconic skating rink in Atlanta, a staple for generations of skaters. Whether you grew up going there for parties, late-night skate sessions, or just to hang out, it holds a special place in the city’s history. So, what better place for our WSS crew to relive some childhood memories?

    Skating was just as fun as I remembered—but whew, what a workout! By the time I made it to my third lap around the rink, I was already in need of a break (lol). We all gathered in the middle, showing off a few moves, and even managed some backward skating—turns out, we still got it!

    By the time I got home, I was tired, and I was definitely thankful to have the next day off. But it was all worth it—good vibes, good laughs, and another great time with the ladies.

    Stay tuned to see what we have planned for April! If you’d like to join Women Stand Strong, click

  • Exploring the Atlanta History Center: A Day of History, Beauty, and Lots of Steps!

    Yesterday was a long but fulfilling day, and I kicked it off with a visit to the Atlanta History Center alongside my friend. It was her first time experiencing it, while this marked my second visit. Even though I had been before, I was excited to rediscover the exhibits and soak in the rich history that this incredible place has to offer.

    The Atlanta History Center spans over 33 acres and is home to several historic sites, exhibits, and gardens. It provides a deep dive into Georgia’s past, from the Civil War to the civil rights movement and beyond. One of the standout moments of our visit was watching a short film about Atlanta’s history—it was both informative and engaging, giving us a deeper appreciation for the city’s evolution over time.

    After exploring the main exhibits, we made our way to the Swan House, one of Atlanta’s most iconic landmarks. Built in 1928, this elegant mansion was once the home of the Inman family, a wealthy banking family in Atlanta. Today, it’s preserved as a museum, showcasing its original furnishings and breathtaking architecture. Fun fact: The Swan House even made an appearance in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire!

    As we arrived, we saw that they were setting up for a wedding, and let me tell you—the setup was absolutely stunning! The grand staircases, lush gardens, and timeless elegance of the mansion made for the perfect fairytale setting. I can only imagine how beautiful the ceremony must have been.

    And did we get our steps in? Absolutely! Between the winding paths, multiple staircases, and sprawling exhibits, we definitely got a good workout in. The Atlanta History Center is massive, but every step was worth it. The combination of history, beauty, and culture makes it a must-visit for anyone in the city.

    If you ever find yourself in Atlanta, I highly recommend stopping by. Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture lover, or just looking for a beautiful place to explore, the Atlanta History Center has something for everyone. It’s well worth the trip!

  • Knocking Another One Off My Cece Atlanta Bucket List: College Football Hall of Fame

    St. Patrick’s Day in Atlanta called for something special, so what better way to celebrate than by knocking another adventure off my Cece Atlanta Bucket List? I had the chance to visit the College Football Hall of Fame, and of course, I had to show up in my green—not just for the holiday, but because it also happens to be my favorite color!

    Even though I’m more of an NFL girl, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to dive into the rich history of college football. From legendary players to iconic moments, the Hall of Fame is packed with interactive exhibits and memorabilia that bring the sport to life. One of my favorite moments? Seeing Deion Sanders on the Hall of Fame wall! Knowing how much of an impact he made in college before dominating the NFL made the experience even more exciting.

    What makes this place even cooler is the interactive experience. They use AI to create custom football-themed photos, making you feel like a real college football star. It’s a fun and unique way to capture memories from the visit!

    I had an amazing time exploring, learning, and celebrating St. Paddy’s Day in the best way possible—by experiencing a little bit of football history in my favorite city. If you’re ever in Atlanta, I highly recommend stopping by the College Football Hall of Fame. Whether you’re a die-hard college football fan or just love the game in general, it’s a great place to check out!

  • Immersed in Art: My Visit to the Van Gogh Experience in Atlanta

    As a lover of creativity and storytelling, I finally had the chance to visit the Van Gogh Experience in Atlanta with my daughter—and let me tell you, it was nothing short of breathtaking!

    From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported into the vivid, swirling world of Vincent van Gogh. The way his iconic paintings came to life through immersive projections was mesmerizing. I could have easily sat there for hours, just soaking in the artistry and movement within the room. Every brushstroke seemed to dance across the walls, making you feel as if you were stepping inside his masterpieces.

    While I do wish the exhibit had more rooms to explore, the VR experience made up for it. It offered a deeper dive into Van Gogh’s world, allowing us to see his inspirations and understand his creative genius on another level. It’s one thing to admire his art in books or museums, but to experience it in such an interactive way was unforgettable.

    If you’re in Atlanta (or anywhere else this exhibit pops up), I highly recommend checking it out. Art lovers, history buffs, and even casual museum-goers will find something to appreciate.

    Want to bring a little Van Gogh magic into your own space? Here’s a Canva art link to explore: Van Gogh Canva Art.

    Also, if you’d like to support my journey as I continue sharing unique experiences through Cece in the City, you can do so here: Buy Me a Coffee. Every bit helps keep the adventures going!

  • Graffiti, Good Vibes, and Beltline Adventures

    This weekend, my daughter wanted to snap some cool photos in front of graffiti, and I knew just the spots! We hit up Krog Street Tunnel first, soaking in all the vibrant street art, then made our way to the Beltline for more scenic backdrops. But after a while, the Atlanta heat got the best of her—she was hot and tired (lol).

    The city was buzzing with energy—so many people out and about, enjoying the Beltline vibes. Of course, I had to jump in for a few shots myself! One stop I’d been meaning to make? The Outkast mural—finally checked that off my list!

    Now, I’m officially ready for warm weather and getting back to crossing things off my bucket list. Atlanta always keeps it exciting!
