A World Cup final watch party at Piedmont Park, additional days for the Fan Fest at Centennial Olympic Park, and events in South Downtown were among the updates provided on Thursday by the city’s stakeholders in the summer soccer tournament.

For decades, the atrium inside the CNN Center has been one of downtown Atlanta’s most recognizable interior spaces. Long before it became a food court—or a backdrop for live television—the soaring room was part of the Omni International Complex and briefly housed the country’s first indoor theme park. This spring, the space enters its next chapter as the CTR, a new food hall compiled by Robert Montwaid of Chattahoochee Food Works, who also founded Gansevoort Market in New York.

Few breakfast chains inspire the kind of cult devotion that Eggslut does. The Los Angeles-based chain went viral for its glossy brioche buns, custardy soft‑scrambled eggs, and photogenic sandwiches. Now, Atlantans can taste it for themselves. Eggslut officially opened inside the new Moxy Atlanta Downtown hotel in March, marking the brand’s first Georgia location and the first in the South. The counter-service restaurant operates out of the hotel’s lobby, offering breakfast sandwiches all day along with extended late-night hours on Fridays and Saturdays.

For 30 years, Jasmine Jamil has worked at Subs & Salads Junction Downtown, greeting regulars with a smile. Her son Shafi Jamil had barely started school when his parents opened the tiny takeout shop adjacent to a parking garage, and he’s grown up with the business. Though he began his official career as a mechanical engineer for Porsche, Jamil took over management of Subs & Salads in 2015 after his father, Sal Jamil, passed away. The biggest changes, however, have occurred in the past few months: Subs & Salads has undergone a complete renovation with new menu items added. It also has a new name: the Junction.

The first major project in the ambitious Centennial Yards district downtown is now open. Adjacent to Mercedes-Benz Stadium and State Farm Arena with 292 rooms, a Southern-French restaurant, and a cocktail-forward bar program, Hotel Phoenix stands as a symbol of the city’s ongoing reinvention.

Buckhead Life Restaurant Group has shaped Atlanta’s dining identity for decades. When founder I. Pano Karatassos launched the company in 1979, he set a new standard for hospitality in the city. But despite its enduring influence in Atlanta, the city hasn’t seen a Buckhead Life opening in years. That changes with Chops Lobster Bar’s upcoming debut at Centennial Yards Downtown. Slated to open in spring 2027, the 13,0000-square-foot restaurant will feel similar to the Buckhead location with some new menu items.
