Ryokou, a new kappo-style restaurant in Adair Park is owned by chef Leonard Yu who also owns Omakase Table. The restaurant builds its identity by sharing its passion for knowledge and exploration. It doesn’t try to outdo its peers, and it is not about chef worship. It’s more like hanging out with a friend who is a total nerd about Japanese food and wants to tell you about it while feeding you.

Molly Sanyour’s now-famous butt mugs, the first of which she created in 2018 and gifted to singer-rapper Lizzo before her concert, turned into an internet sensation when her students spotted it in a Lizzo photo shoot for Vogue. Once the orders started pouring in, she created Molly Sanyour Ceramics Studio, located just off the Westside Beltline in Adair Park.

Sammy’s, a new sandwich and coffee shop from longtime friends and restaurant veterans Sam Pinner and Jason Furst, is now open in Adair Park. Located at Abrams Fixtures—a mixed-use development home to Ryokou, 7th House, and the Vine Club—the shop brings chef-driven food and drinks to 565 Northside Drive Southwest, bringing to life a longtime dream.

A partnership with the Vine Wine Club next door, 7th House explores natural elements like air, water, fire, and earth through food and drink. Named for the astrological house of love, friendship, and partnership, it offers a rotating tasting menu where each month focuses on a new zodiac sign and the element it represents.

A puppet in a white suit, with a smiley face for a head, towers over every Beltline Lantern Parade. His name is Mr. Happy, and he’s the creation of Cam Ayer, who has marched every year since 2010 as a member of the Krewe of the Grateful Gluttons. On May 3, Mr. Happy will join thousands of others at Adair Park and head up the Southwest Beltline trail for the 15th annual Lantern Parade, a free community event that has become an iconic Atlanta tradition.

When Rex Rytter, King of Cats, passed away peacefully at the ripe old age of 16, his human, Chantelle Rytter, decided to honor him with a funeral. But this would be no ordinary funeral, because Rytter was no ordinary cat mom: She is the founder of Atlanta’s Lantern Parade series, those magical nighttime spectacles of handmade glowing puppets.

When you walk through the door at Sebi’s Daughters at the MET Atlanta in Adair Park, you are immediately transported to a tropical forest, complete with mangroves climbing the walls, soothing music in the air, and the sounds of a gentle, burbling waterfall.

New ’cue from a legendary pitmaster, and this month’s pop-up highlight: a sweet turn from two professional dancers

I have run on every single highway in this city. I’ve run every section of major railroad. I ran across a couple of lanes of the Connector in order to properly map Midtown.

The James Beard Award-winning pitmaster from South Carolina is expanding in the South and will open his first Atlanta restaurant in spring 2020.
