Che Butter Jonez—the Queens-inspired restaurant based on the food truck of the same name—is moving its flagship location from Southwest Atlanta to Brookhaven. With a much bigger space—capacity is 81 instead of 15—the restaurant will be open six days a week, in contrast to its current three. It will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as Sunday brunch.

ITP, OTP, east side, west side—where you live can be as big a part of your identity as the team you cheer for, and Atlantans pick with pride. Here, residents discuss what led them to their corner of the metro, and why they stay.

Inspired by bold decor they had seen in Palm Beach and Atlanta’s own Le Colonial restaurant, homeowners Lindsey and Merek Shoob decided to ramp it up a bit at their 1940s bungalow in Brookhaven. “They wanted to add their own personality to the house, so we did a refresh of some rooms at the front of the house and the entertaining spaces,” says interior designer Beth Brown. Clever combos of blues, brass, painted floors, and wallpaper deliver the look.

The Bronx Bagel Buggy sells hand-rolled, boiled, and baked New York-style bagels at farmers markets in Brookhaven, Dunwoody, and Sandy Springs, along with bialys, bagel chips, Sicilian pizza, bagel dogs, bagel bombs, and more.

Rather than starting from scratch with a custom house, the contemporary-loving owners of this traditional Brookhaven home opted for a modern makeover.

Opened in 1973, Calcutta was Atlanta’s first Indian restaurant—but, much more than that, it was a community center, a place where South Asians could socialize freely.

Some homes are worth playing the long game. “We had told a realtor friend that our dream was to find a house to renovate on Silver Lake, and nothing had really come available for over 10 years,” says Michelle Clery, who is a longtime Atlanta resident, along with her husband, Bob Roddewig. “He called us a year later about a home going up for sale the next day, so we jumped in the car to take a look right away.”

Brookhaven homeowner Michelle Clery enjoys ladies nights spent making crafts like jewelry, soaps, and candles—so much so that she dedicated an upstairs hallway area to combining hobbies and socializing with friends.

Architect Joel Kelly and principal designer Whitney Ray of Wyeth Ray Interiors brought the project to life, deftly balancing scale and aesthetics.
