    A new initiative launching first in Atlanta aims to make it easier for new moms to get back to the workforce. The Women’s Work Initiative (WWI), will connects leading local corporations with diverse and experienced women returning to the job.

    The program was announced this week by the Mom Project and this is how it works:

    Women’s Work Initiative helps mothers in Atlanta

    The Atlanta Women’s Work Initiative (AWWI), a public-private venture, will connect 50 local women looking to return to work with some of the city’s leading employers. The first-of-its-kind program will also serve as a model for other cities as the effort rolls out nationally.

    Atlanta companies that are looking to join the initiative include Georgia-Pacific, Invesco, AT&T Prepaid Portfolio and Voya Financial.

    “The AWWI embodies the inclusive spirit of our vision for One Atlanta, a world-class city where no one is left behind,” said Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, referring to the recently-created Mayor’s Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. “As a working mom myself, I am grateful for the great companies that understand the critical need for equity in employment, especially for those women who are re-entering the workplace. The Mom Project understands the value of the hardest job there is: raising our children.”

    Drink ATL: The Top Bars In Atlanta’s Little Five Points

    2 Min Read

    There are some great spots to eat around the city, but when it comes to sipping suds, many people are quite particular based on several factors. Many prefer ambience over ampleness. Others pick a deep selection over anything else. Still others gravitate toward friendly bartenders. But what are the top bars in Atlanta’s Little Five Points.

    With all those factors in mind, we compiled a list of the top bars in one of our favorite parts of the city: Little 5 Points. This area of East Atlanta is criminally underrated when it comes to dining and drinking options. We’re here to change that.

    We went to the  good people at Yelp to help us round out our list. This is what they said.

    The Porter Beer Bar 1156 Euclid Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307. One Yelper said: ““I had pretty low expectations for the salt and vinegar popcorn and was instead blown away by a great and unexpected flavor combo.”

    Star Community Bar 437 Moreland Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307 — One Yelper said: “One visit to the Elvis shrine will stay with you long after you, and Elvis, have left the building.”

    The Euclid Avenue Yacht Club 1136 Euclid Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307 — One Yelper said: “The food is great if you like bar food which I do and thier food is kosher I love the yacht dog and fries.the employee’s are a step above always friendly.”

    Aisle 5 1123 Euclid Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307 — One Yelper said: ““No rude bouncers, quick bar service and relative cleanliness.”

    Vortex Bar & Grill 438 Moreland Ave NE Atlanta, GA 30307 — One Yelper said: “Omg…it’s seriously so good with the sweetness of the plantains, the nuttiness of the peanut butter and the savory burger+bacon.”

    One of North Fulton’s top restaurants, Table And Main, is breaking out the fine silverware this weekend and inviting the community out to help it mark a major milestone. The Roswell restaurant is celebrating seven years of great food on Sunday, August 19, 2018.

    There will be a backyard Low Country Boil, live music, drinks and more things cooked up by Chef Woody. Click here for Info/Tixor please visittableandmain.com.

    Aside from Table and Main, when it comes to restaurants, Atlanta is quickly gaining ground on some of the dining capitals around the United States.

    Fast-casual is the dining trend du jour around metro Atlanta restaurants. The concept involves mixing the quick accessibility of fast food with the casual dining experience. Food in Atlanta is also adapting to the various tastes of the migrants that come here to live.

    Patrons typically order off a menu board like they would at a burger joint, but the convenience of sitting down to leisurely enjoy their food has made the segment a popular one with the restaurant industry.

    The craze hasn’t escaped metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene, which has seen a fast-caz explosion in recent years.
