Arepa Mia to open first free-standing location in August
Arepa Mia, the Venezuelan arepa shop at the Sweet Auburn Curb Market, is expanding to Decatur next month. Owner and chef Lisbet Hernandez is taking over a catering space at 307 East College Avenue and turning it into a second Arepa Mia. Here, she’ll offer the same menu of gluten-free chicken, fish, ham, and beef arepas, empanadas, and cachapas (Venezuelan corn cakes), along with new weekend specials and Sunday brunch.
Sweet Auburn Curb Market invigorates with global goodies
Sweet Auburn Curb Market turns ninety this year. Originally known as the Municipal Market of Atlanta, it began as an assembly of open-air vendors on land laid waste by the Great Atlanta Fire of 1917, which started near a Decatur Street warehouse and consumed almost 2,000 buildings.
