Atlanta BeltLine Partnership seeks public help to light Beltline’s Eastside Trail

The Atlanta BeltLine is asking for the public's help in lighting the trail.  I saw this post from Ponce City Market yesterday to offer up support:

Ponce City Market is so proud to be a part of the Atlanta BeltLinePartnership's Light the Line campaign. We look forward to donating $100,000 from PCM parking proceeds toward the 1.1 million dollar goal to provide lighting on the trail.

Atlanta's First BeltLine Hotel

Set to open Labor Day of 2017, Atlanta will have an 140 room boutique hotel in Old Fourth Ward.  No hotel brand has been associated with it yet and I am anxious to see what that will be to determine what type of restaurants will be placed inside.  The hotel will be modeled after hotels in the New York Meatpacking District.  The artist's rendering makes it look a little bland but you had me at "rooftop bar".

Yalla- Tasty Middle Eastern Food in Atlanta

Yalla is a modern Middle Eastern food stall at Krog Street Market from Chef Todd Ginsberg, Shelley Sweet, and Jennifer & Ben Johnson, the team behind The General Muir and Fred’s Meat & Bread. In addition to favorites like falafel, shawarma, and kebabs, Yalla serves fresh, seasonal "salatim" (salads) and handcrafted, all natural, low sugar sodas.  My all time favorite dish is the Shwarma Bowl which is spit roasted chicken, hummus, baba ganoush, Israeli salad & pickles, fried eggplant, harissa, tahini, amba.  It is $13 and I have gotten it without chicken a few times.  Delicious!  Yalla Holla!

Good news at Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall

As an "Intowner" I love anything on The Beltline.  I was so excited to see this place open because you can bike there, it's close and they allow dogs on the patio.  It's located on John Wesley Dobbs which is a side street off of Sampson.  It's walking distance from Krog Street Market.  The service and food needed some kinks worked out.  Well I am happy to report I finally had a yummy meal here!   Check these out sometime (highlighted straight from the menu):  
smoked bbq wings / served with blue cheese
spinach & crispy ham / pine street ham, candied nuts, imperial blue, white balsamic
roasted cauliflower / artichoke heart, marcona almonds, beet puree
patatas bravas / smashed potatoes, cayenne, smoked paprika, creme fraiche

BTW Large TV at the bar for football fans

Miso Izakaya

Love this place!  Located in Old Fourth Ward (O4W) this sushi restaurant is probably my favorite in town.  It's usually hard to get in and that's a great sign.  Don't confuse it with Craft Izakaya close by.  "Izakaya" is a Japanese name meaning "a type of informal Japanese drinking establishment that serves food to accompany the drinks." Located at 619 Edgewood Avenue close to the Beltline and Ammaza Pizza.  There is a parking lot next to it that usually has spots.  No valet too.  Absolute favorite things on the menu:  Soft shell crab BLT buns, Shoyu Tamago (soy marinated soft boiled egg over crispy rice) and the salmon sashimi.  Another fun thing to do is to try the Strong Guy sake.  It comes in a glass that is overfilled with a cute little blue and white china bowl underneath.  If you are a sushi lover you will not be sorry!

Hello World- Atlanta Beltline Lantern Parade

This site is to celebrate food, drink, events here (Atlanta) and everywhere!  After living other places I truly appreciate the kindness, food, drink, people and sense of community Atlanta has to offer.  With so many movies and TV shows being filmed here now (Y’allywood!) Atlanta is in the spotlight.  One of the many great things about Atlanta (the “REAL” Atlanta inside the Perimeter) is the BeltLine.  Tomorrow they estimate about 20,000 people will walk along the BeltLine for 6th Annual Lantern Parade.  A unique magical experience.  People also hang out afterwards in the many bars and restaurants around The BeltLine in Old 4th Ward (O4W) and Inman Park.  Here are some pictures from last year.  See you tomorrow!
