Topologically Massive Gravity (TMG) is quite an old theory in the field of 3 dimensional gravity. Despite age its attraction was recovered over the last few years as a possible toy model for quantum gravity. Its interesting features provide us with various kinds of vacuum and black hole solutions. One particular way of finding solutions to this theory is by considering its stationary axi-symmetric case, which is then nothing else than a particle-mechanics problem. This dimensionally reduced theory is then called Topologically Massive Mechanics (TMM). In this talk I will motivate three dimensional gravity and discuss general features of TMG. The main focus will be in finding and discussing solutions of TMG via the TMM approach.
