Four Things In Atlanta Not to Miss This Month

  • For the Fathers: If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomachright this way to a direct path. Treat your favorite father figure to a spectacular buffet spread at 5Church Buckhead or Midtown. Or give Dad an experience — Chirori is doing a special tuna cutting that night; just before the weekend, Casa Nuova is hosting a special Father’s Day bourbon tasting; and Le Bon Nosh’s monthly cooking class is perfectly scheduled for the holiday. Of course, you can’t go wrong with a traditional steak dinner. Check out our steakhouse guide for the best of the bunch or to find something different, like Noona Meat & Seafood for fusion steaks cooked on a nine-foot hearth or Spanish-style grilling at Fogón and Lions. And don’t forget the Hit List has the hottest spots of the moment, such as Bene Korean Steakhouse, where Dad can find out just how much meat he can actually eat.
  • National Pride Plans: We may not officially celebrate Pride here until October, but there’s no reason we can’t support the community with the rest of the country with a well-timed Resy. This is the perfect time of year to recognize our LGBTQ+ chefs and restaurateurs for their delicious contributions to our city. JenChan’s leads with love and creativity in Cabbagetown, and Side Saddle Wine Saloon keeps it going just farther south of the BeltLine, near classic and beloved Ria’s Bluebird, which is also (famously) queer-founded. Due north, there’s Joystick Gamebar for your late-night amusementsIf you’re looking for good drinks, make your Resy for El Viñedo Local in Midtown, where South American wines, rare rums, and unique spirits keep things lively. And if you’d rather celebrate closer to the suburbs, absolutely lock down a table for Hit Lister BEY Mediterranean Kitchen & Bar in Roswell. The parking is free and the food is more than worth the drive.
  • Food That Rocks: The folks behind Taste of Atlanta have brought back their Sandy Springs all-inclusive tasting event, which is returning to City Springs June 4 for another year. Keep the momentum going with a ticket to a night under the stars with live music and stations with craft cocktail, beer, and wine tastings. Also included: bites from over 25 neighborhood restaurants, which could be a great opportunity (and incentive!) to return to this just-barely-OTP destination for great dining at spots like globally inspired Sunnyside Pizzeria, NoriFish, Yalda’s Persian and Middle Eastern, and more. Or, it can inspire you to travel just minutes farther to insider favorites such as Carbonara Trattoria or Mikata. Chef meet-and-greets and interactive sponsor activations offer the chance for one-on-one time with talent, too, for a real community vibe to this high-energy event.
  • VaHi Summerfest Returns: Since 1985, it’s been accepted in Atlanta that summer hasn’t fully arrived until this Virginia-Highland festival kicks off the season. You’ll want to mark your calendar for June 6 and 7 and sign up for the 5K or Tot Trot ASAP — a great way to work up an appetite for neighborhood faves like historic Atkins Park Restaurant & Bar (in operation since 1922!) and “secret” steakhouse Highland Tap. Also nearby, Osteria 832 for American Italian classics and thin-crust pizza that might be just the thing when the kids are tuckered out after playing in the KidZone or tagging along at the artists’ market all day. At the same address, you can end the night at Lounge 832, when it transitions to a late-night haunt perfect after the day’s festivities. The Summerfest Block Party with live music begins at 6 p.m. and continues until 11 p.m., so this and nearby Bar ANA or New on Resy Bar Pilar can be the ace up your sleeve to keep the night going.
