Four Things In Atlanta Not to Miss This Month
- Home of the Braves: Baseball season is back, but Resy can do you better than peanuts and Cracker Jacks. Down in Summerhill, Wood’s Chapel BBQ (owned by the same team as The General Muir) and Halfway Crooks Beer are kicking things off as part of the Opening Day Block Party on March 27; get there early to start the day at Poach Social or follow it with a late dinner at nearby Little Bear, Talat Market, or Southern National. Or, if you can, score tickets to see the Braves live at Truist Park in Smyrna, where The Battery offers ample eats. Garden & Gun Club is right there, steps from the gate, as is “Top Chef” alum Hector Santiago’s El Super Pan, Atlanta’s famous H&F Burger, and Asian mini-food hall PH’EAST. Just minutes away is a location of Stoney River Steakhouse and Grill, too. For a more comprehensive guide of where to eat around The Battery, this Resy guide’s still got you.
- Listen Up: Soft clubbing dropped hard last year with the entrance of listening spaces like Commune ATL and Stereo ATL — an evolution from themed soundtrack-forward bars like Jojo’s Beloved — and it’s been become increasingly in when it comes to going out. Enter restaurants with deeply intentional playlists. At spots like Southern National, Tio Lucho’s, BoccaLupo, and obviously, the Outkast-inspired Humble Mumble, “the vibe is less ‘turn up’ and more listening room,” as Donovan X. Ramsey wrote recently. Then there are spots that might treat you to an evening of vinyl, such as Lyla Lila, El Ponce, and Block & Drum. Have yourself a DJ day at Bar ANA or Palo Santo, both of which offer (coffee) brews to fuel your dancing shoes for those whom late-night scenes are no longer the jam. And if live music is what moves you, right this way to Allison Ramirez’s guide to exactly that.
- Get On Your Feet with Afro-Caribbean Beats: The 11th iteration of the No Tables No Chairs music festival by Mausiki Scales & The Common Ground Collective is officially on! They’re taking over Shirley Clarke Franklin Park (formerly Westside Reservoir Park) on Saturday, April 25 for an all-day celebration of music of the African diaspora, including Junkanoo-style and the FunkLine (a play on Atlanta’s BeltLine and the New Orleans second line tradition) parades. Shake it to live bands and DJs during this wonderful opportunity to experience the richness of cultures found within the Black community of Atlanta, from West Africa to the Caribbean to the American South. Consider it an audio accompaniment to The New South chef collective we’ve been tracking — stars include elevated country Southern at Auburn Angel and Haitian and Trinidadian flair at Bread & Butterfly. For more Caribbean, we also recommend trying Apt 4B, Miss Conduck, or Rock Steady. Or simply grab brunch before you head to the festival at J’ouvert Caribbean Kitchen & Bar to fuel up for a day of dancing.
- New Kids on the (Resy) Block: We’ve always intel for you on the new and shiny arrivals to explore further than (or deeper in) your own backyard. For example, you might want to know that a treasure has returned and with new polish, a la M @ Umi or Ashland at Loews Atlanta Hotel. And now you no longer have to roll the dice on getting a table at beloved staples like LEONs Full Service, Food Terminal West Midtown, or Le Bon Nosh? Our New on Resy always has you covered, in the ATL and beyond.
