At the recent High Point Market, luxury furniture brand Baker debuted a collection of furnishings and accessories in collaboration with Atlanta-based interior designer Susan Ferrier. The 72-piece line, which is a first for the designer, includes pieces for the living room, dining room, and bedroom. It will be available in showrooms in late summer.

The team behind Sammy’s in Adair Park is working on a new venture called Broad Street BBQ, slated to open in spring 2026. Located across from the planned El Tesoro, Broad Street will feature a full-service smokehouse with counter-service barbecue, a to-go window, and a craft cocktail bar. It's the brainchild of Jason Furst and Sam Pinner, whose culinary partnership dates back to a pandemic-era stint smoking meats on Bainbridge Island, Washington.

In 2023, Karimah McFarlane took a leap and purchased the gallery Buckhead Art & Company. Her mission for the gallery is “to make art accessible to everybody and to have difficult conversations with people whose paths wouldn’t cross,” she says. “And let them know that we actually have more in common than we think.”

“Checking in?” a voice asks from the call box at Georgia Safari Conservation Park’s Jurassic Park–like gate. We drive down a winding gravel road along high-fenced pasture, and a childlike sense of wonder creeps in.

Is the sky really this blue all the time?

Growing up in Taiwan, Lucky Star chef and partner Jason Liang remembers attending celebratory feasts in tents along the side of the road, where specialty chefs prepared massive meals served family style to commemorate a wedding or birthday. Called Ban-Dou, these events are cultural experiences focused on togetherness. At Lucky Star, Liang—who also owns Michelin-starred O By Brush, Momonoki, Brush Sushi, Cuddlefish, and Momo Café—shares his roots with Atlantans. Now, he’s letting them in on the Ban-Dou celebrations, too.

Indaco’s zeppole offers a creative spin on the classic Italian dessert. Way more than a mere doughnut hole, it’s made with ricotta cheese, fried to order, tossed in powdered sugar, and served with seasonal accompaniments (spiced anglaise in colder months; currently cannoli cream and chocolate sauce).

After six years in Old Fourth Ward, Erika Council’s Bomb Biscuit Co. is baking its way into Grant Park. The beloved breakfast spot, known for its flaky biscuits, soulful brunch plates, and vibrant Southern hospitality, moved into the Larkin on Memorial development last week—a few miles south of its original location.

It wasn’t on purpose that Virginia-Highland Civic Association president Alex Bevel Jones spoke with 40 bands for the 40th iteration of the neighborhood’s annual Summerfest, which returns this month from June 6 through 8. But it certainly has a nice ring to it.

The Beverly lives on only through the tasting room at the World of Coca-Cola here in Atlanta, as well as two others, at Epcot in Disney World and the Coca-Cola Store in Las Vegas. Recently, it has gained a cult following on TikTok, mainly from younger generations discovering it for the first time. Several Reddit threads offer enthusiastic skewerings of its intense flavor and lingering aftertaste; one poster called it the “worst soda in the world.”
