  • The Pantry and Impress Events

    The Pantry and Impress Events To Open In Downtown Atlanta

    1 Min Read

    A new restaurant equipped with a sizable event space is coming to Atlanta’s historic Healey Building. The Pantry and Impress Events will open at 57 Forsyth Street, according to What Now Atlanta.

    The eatery will resurrect the former Loaf & Kettle space and open its doors in late 2018. Downtown’s Fairlie-Poplar district is undergoing a bit of a revitalization. Some of the stalwart eateries such as Dua’s and Ruben’s Sandwiches continue to thrive, but other restaurants have given away to chain fast-food restaurants such as Moe’s and Arby’s.

    Let’s hope The Pantry can draw a crowd. The site will feature a chefs counter and kitchen which leads to an atrium, What Now reports.

    The menu will consist of breakfast and lunch fare of the healthy variety: salads, protein-rich sandwiches and breads. Dinner cuisine will feature charcuterie, cheese, and wine at the chefs counter.

    If you’re looking for some of the most essential Atlanta restaurants, check out these soul food spots.

  • Atlanta Braves tickets at SunTrust Park

    Study: Atlanta Braves Tickets Are The Cheapest In Baseball

    2 Min Read

    Tickets to see the Atlanta Braves play at SunTrust Park are the most affordable out of any MLB team, according to a new study. GoBankingRates.com looked at Major League Baseball stadiums and compared what it costs fans for tickets, food, beverages and parking and the Atlanta Braves tickets came out on top.

    Despite being one of the newest stadiums in all of MLB, admission to SunTrust Park came in No. 1in being the least expensive. When you add other expenses such as food, parking, etc, the Braves ballpark came in overall in second place, bested only by Coors Field.

    The Braves began play in April in its second season at SunTrust Park after a quarter-century in downtown Atlanta’s Turner Field.

    People heading to a Braves game are encouraged to park in Official SunTrust Parking Lots. There are 19 official parking lots operated by the Atlanta Braves that contain 14,000 parking spots. Prices in the lots range from $10 to $18, and parking can be purchased on the Braves website ahead of time.

    Other insights from the GoBankingRates.com study showed that it costs nearly $100 to enjoy the amenities at some of MLB’s top ballparks.

    There’s Fine Thai Food Going On At Buckhead’s Chai Yo

    1 Min Read

    We told you about the newest thai spot in Buckhead, Chai Yo, when it soft-opened earlier this winter. Now, the eatery has hit its stride.

    One of its most popular dishes so far is “Plah Pla Meuk” a grilled marinated octopus in lime juice tossed with a number of delectable veggies for ascent. If you’re a curry lover (like me) there are a handful of dishes that you’ll love, like the Neau Panang and Khew Wan Kai.

    Located at 3050 Peachtree Road NW Atlanta,, Suite R-8, the restaurant is hoping its affluent address will set it apart from the competition.

    The restaurant says that it brings a “chef-driven Thai concept featuring Chef DeeDee Niyomkul’s interpretation of traditional and old-world Thai recipes using new world techniques and inspiration. From the family that created Nan Thai Fine DiningTuk Tuk Thai Food Loft and Tamarind Seed.”

    We couldn’t agree more. But don’t take our word for it. Reserve your table at www.chaiyoatl.com.
