Three Atlanta women tap into beer culture to reclaim their power

The first brewers of beer, in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, were women. The Sumerians even had a goddess of beer, Ninkasi. And in England, women called alewives handled the commercial making and selling of brews well into the 1500s. Nevertheless, the American craft beer revolution has been a decidedly White male–driven movement. But in Atlanta, several prominent women are taking back their sacred rite and making the craft beer scene a space for everyone—and, in so doing, elevating the Southeast as a cradle of beer culture.

Review: Two Fish Myanmar is reborn in a new Clarkston location

Two Burmese refugees who came to Atlanta via Malaysia started cooking and serving brilliant meals out of their home in 2020. I became a devotee of Two Fish Myanmar and started going at least once a week to sit at the kitchen counter or the lone picnic table in the shadow of a big oak tree. Yapar Shel; his wife, Roi San; and their two daughters finally have the brick-and-mortar restaurant they have been dreaming of.

Atlanta is the center of the political universe

Welcome to Atlanta where the players play, and we ride in the fast lane of the American news highway. We don’t mean to brag, but when it comes to politics, Atlanta is pretty much the center of the universe: Politicians love us (or love to hate us), our celebs get voters to turn out (for what), and, most importantly, we’re the capital of Georgia, which has emerged as one of the biggest battleground states in the 2024 presidential election. Here’s a look at Atlanta’s headline-making moments over the last four years.

Savannah retains the allure of the old and promises the verve of the new

“Savannah could lay claim to enough real history that it had no need of false honors,” John Berendt wrote. So, to get to know today’s Savannah, start with its past. Walk or bike around the celebrated 22 squares. Spot a colorful, turn-of-the-century masterpiece in the Victorian District, then smile for the requisite photo in the spray of the 166-year-old Forsyth Park fountain. Encounter Gullah/Geechee culture along the lyrical shores of the Moon River, and relax into the Lowcountry way of life on the Tybee Island coastline.

RobertKent Galleries celebrates its big move

A little over a year ago, Robert Kent Tuchman wondered if moving his Marietta-based RobertKent Galleries from 85 Church Street to 145 Church Street was the right decision. True, it wasn’t far—just a dozen-odd doors down the street—but number 85 had been a good fit for six years. Then he saw his own initials, RKT, carved into the pavement behind the building at the proposed spot, and fate seemed sealed.

Nathu’s serves up pyrotechnics on a plate

You can hear, smell, and feel a sizzler long before it gets to your table. Served on a screaming-hot metal platter, sizzlers consist of a charred main dish and several colorful sides that arrive in a cloud of smoke, crackling and broiling. Nathu’s in northeast Decatur offers several varieties of the dish, all in a classic Indo-Chinese style—a fusion cuisine that combines Indian flavors with Chinese cooking techniques.

Atlanta traffic

Politics gets bumper-to-bumper

Sreekar Bommireddy leaves his North Decatur apartment at 4:30 p.m., headed for Georgia State University. Cars pile up on Clairemont Avenue, waiting to turn left with no turning lane, and he bobs and weaves his 2011 Toyota RAV4 around them. It’s a Tuesday in late July, and the air-conditioning in his car is almost at full blast. Traffic is clear on Scott Boulevard and Clifton Avenue, but then, near Moxie Burger, cars back up again, waiting to turn right on DeKalb Avenue.

The great American political party switcheroo

As Democrats attempt to flip the state for a second presidential election, many don’t know that the Democratic Party once dominated politics in Georgia, though in a very different form. For most of the 20th century, much of the South embraced the party, whose ideological identity—like that of its foil, the Republicans—was forged by the deepest conflicts in American history. It was progressive Republicans who pushed for an end to slavery, while Democrats espoused a conservative commitment to the status quo. But over the last 100 years, the nation’s two major political parties have effectively swapped sides. Here’s how it happened.

Glass walls and pocket gardens blur the lines between inside and outside in this Buckhead home

Architect Scott West channeled Wright’s philosophy when designing this Buckhead house for a family of four. He used natural materials like wood, stone, and concrete throughout the structure. Ipe ceilings stretch across glass transom windows and out above the terrace. Marble with dramatic veining functions as art. Glass-walled “pocket gardens” are tucked into the entry, primary suite, and even the basement garage to add organic texture.
