It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since Ponce City and Krog Street markets opened, especially with the nonstop buzz around new eateries opening. With restaurants winning Michelin Guide awards and attracting A-list chefs, the two markets have become the center of the Atlanta BeltLine and a global attraction.

I’m on the Beltline pretty much every day, doing 12 to 20 miles. I sing while I skate. I get to have fun. People come up to me and give me hugs. They tell me they saw me singing “Party in the U.S.A.” and can’t help but smile and laugh.

Serving authentic Chinese food representing the regions of Beijing and Tianjin, Northern China Eatery has been feeding Buford Highway visitors since 2008. Using family recipes passed down through generations, dishes are made from scratch using fresh local produce. Owner Fan Zhang launched spinoff restaurant the Dumpling Factory on the Westside in July. Come February, he’ll open a larger Northern China Eatery along the BeltLine. Located in the Shoppes at Citizen, 665 Auburn Avenue, near the new Emerald City Bagels, the new location is nearly double the size of the original and set to become the flagship, Zhang says.

Come October 28, Painted Park, created by the group behind the Painted Pin, the Painted Duck, and Painted Pickle, will open in the former Parish space on the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail. Unlike the group’s other concepts, Painted Park is intended to be focused on drinking and eating first and entertainment second. Justin Amick is calling it a “recreational place of assembly, green space, and private events venue.”

Fresh off a Michelin nod, the Fishmonger team launches a new restaurant on November 30—one that came to fruition in just three weeks. Dos Burros, or “two donkeys” in Spanish, replaces Lady Ha next to Rina on the BeltLine’s Eastside Trail. It'll serve tacos, burritos, nachos, and ceviche, alongside margaritas and 20-plus beers on tap.

Kevin Gillespie has yet another impressive restaurant at the BeltLine-adjacent Cold Beer, new modern-Israeli comes to Westside Provisions District at Aziza, and Avondale Estates has an ambitious Vietnamese joint, Vietvana.

O4W Pizza owner Anthony Spina has returned to Atlanta with a new concept: Nina & Rafi. Atlantans had been eagerly anticipating the Grandma Pie’s homecoming, but it isn't on Nina & Rafi’s menu. Could his Detroit Red Top possibly live up to grandma’s hype?

To open an independent boutique hotel inside Atlanta’s perimeter is a big deal. (There are precious few in the city, for reasons upon which no one can quite agree.) But to open an independent boutique hotel above Atlanta’s most legendary strip club? Yes, that’s a big deal indeed.

The Grandma Pie that made O4W Pizza is off the menu at Anthony Spina and Billy Streck's new restaurant, Nina & Rafi. Instead, the duo are focusing on the restaurant's other pizza styles and Italian-American comfort foods.
