I don’t know how much you know about Atlanta’s nightlife, but Georgia biggest city is the country’s day party capital: Vibe-heavy food and music affairs that go on all day until the night every weekend.
Day parties became popular on college campuses when university officials instituted curfews on university property. The parties soon began to pop up in nightclubs in college towns.
These days it’s a small thing to catch a day party in a large metropolitan city like Atlanta.
What Can You Expect At A Day Party?
A typical day party is a experiential dining .event that caters to all the senses. In addition to premium food and drinks, many day parties have hookah available for select tables.
What separates this scene from a regular restaurant episode? The music! Day parties are just that — parties — which means you can expect a wide range of music, including Reggae. Soca. Afrobeatz. Hip Hop and RnB tunes from the DJ.
Let’s look at some of the most popular day parties that frequently occur in Atlanta:
Boogalou Restaurant & Lounge
239 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30308 | (404) 464-7705
What one reviewer says about Boogalou Lounge: “My son suggested this place for Mother’s Day brunch and I was so impressed. The food was delicious, the service was fantastic and the atmosphere was on-point. I had the seafood omelette with grits and a lobster tail on the side and the glass of strawberry mimosas just topped it off. My son had the seafood omelette & grits as well along with chicken wings and French toast. He boasted about the chicken wings were fried perfectly and French toast was delicious. The food portions were so much that I needed a to-go box. For my first time, I really enjoyed myself.”
Hookah: Yes
Parking: $40
Vision Lounge
2520 Piedmont Road Northeast Atlanta, GA 30324
Here’s what one partyer says about Vision Lounge. “The pictures online look much better. Chill laid back spot. The food was cool. The lamb chops were good but the mash potatoes were cold. The fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil. My burger was off but I can’t put my finger on it. Everyone liked their food besides for the plastic forks we were given . Our waitress was amazing.”
Hookah: Yes
Parking: $40
Cafe Circa Atlanta’s #1 Saturday Day Party
464 Edgewood Ave SE, Atlanta, GA 30312 | : (404) 477-0008
Here’s what a reviewer says about Cafe Circa: “We had a lot of fun, and the food was amazing and worth the return, alone. We had salmon n grits & whole wings with¹ french toast. So full of flavor! The advertising about the Brunch Mimosa R&B Day Party needs to be made clear as there was some confusion about this. It would have been nice to hear more R&B during the event. The DJ played a lot of hip-hop, catering to his own liking, but once he started playing R&B, the customers lit up, danced, and really appeared to be having a great time. Once the rooftop opened, we went up and planned to hang up there a while longer, but they turned off all heaters, which made it cold and uncomfortable, so we left. We will definitely return again now knowing what to expect.”
Hookah: Yes
Parking: $40
Club EMBR
1136 Crescent Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30309
What the parties at EMBR are like: “We definitely had a time here! Great way to kick off Nurses Week or whatever occasion you guys want to celebrate! Our server was really good to us! I can’t remember her name but I remember her saying she is from St. Martin! So if you see this review, give her a raise Embr! The prices were reasonable for the section and the chicken tacos were fire. Will definitely be returning!”
Hookah: Yes

Hookah: Yes

Why Atlanta Is The Day Party Capital
Day parties are huge in urban metropolitan cities like Houston, Baltimore and New Orleans, but there’s nothing like the ones in Atlanta, Georgia.
Atlanta’s strong collegiate presence, especially the Atlanta University Center (AU) which serves students at Spelman College, Morris Brown College and Morehouse College, makes the city a hotbed of activity when it comes to nightlife events.
It was just a matter of time before day parties became the norm in the warmer months of the city.
Final Word
Thinking about going to a day party soon? You’d better save up your cash. Day parties can be expensive. Not only will there typically be a price of admission (unless you RSVP). there will be a parking fee.
One of the biggest expenses will be the drinks and food you buy. Most day party menus have entrees that are $20 and up and include shrimp and lobster.

In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the Atlanta Falcons’ fanbase, the team announced the release of longtime kicker Younghoe Koo on Friday, Sept. 19, 2025, just days after benching the former Pro Bowler for a Week 2 victory.
The 31-year-old South Korean-born specialist, who had been one of the NFL’s most reliable kickers during his tenure with the Dirty Birds, was let go as the Falcons promoted practice squad standout Parker Romo to the 53-man roster on a two-year deal.
The decision caps a turbulent start to the Falcons’ 2025 season for Koo, who missed a crucial 44-yard field goal attempt in the closing seconds of Atlanta’s 23-20 Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—a kick that would have tied the game and potentially altered the narrative around the team’s early struggles.
Demoted to inactive status for the Falcons’ subsequent 22-6 road win over the Minnesota Vikings, Koo did not travel with the team and was ultimately deemed expendable despite a strong offseason recovery from a 2024 hip injury.
Koo’s release, while abrupt, appears tied to a sharp decline in performance over the past year. In 2024, he converted just 25 of 34 field goal attempts (73.5%), his lowest success rate as a Falcon and a far cry from the elite accuracy that defined his prime.
That season ended prematurely with a stint on injured reserve, and while Koo entered 2025 fully healthy, the Week 1 miss proved to be the final straw for head coach Raheem Morris and the front office.Stepping into the void is Parker Romo, a 28-year-old Georgia native whose family relocated from Arkansas to Atlanta this week in anticipation of the promotion.
Elevated from the practice squad for Week 2, Romo dazzled with a perfect 5-for-5 performance on field goals, including a booming 54-yarder that contributed 16 points to the Vikings win.
“You get an opportunity, you have to take advantage of it, and he definitely did,” Morris said post-release. “I think everybody knows his name right now.”
Romo, who went 11-of-12 for the Vikings in 2024, will make his first start as Atlanta’s primary kicker when the 1-1 Falcons host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.Financially, the move provides some relief for a Falcons team navigating salary cap constraints. Koo had two years remaining on his five-year, $24.25 million extension signed in 2022, with his 2025 salary fully guaranteed.
Atlanta absorbs a $1.25 million dead cap hit this year and $5.5 million in 2026 but saves $4.25 million in cap space for the current season.
Koo’s Falcons career, spanning since mid-2019 when he replaced veteran Matt Bryant, was a story of redemption and reliability. Undrafted out of Georgia Southern—where he set the school record for field goal percentage at 88.6%—Koo overcame early career setbacks, including a brief stint with the Los Angeles Chargers, to become Atlanta’s go-to guy.
From 2019 to 2023, he boasted an NFL-fourth-best 89.9% field goal success rate among kickers with 50+ attempts, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2020 after leading the league with 37 makes on 39 tries.
Overall, Koo leaves Atlanta as the franchise’s third-leading scorer with 700 points, trailing only legends Matt Bryant and Morten Andersen.
He finished 178-of-205 on field goals during his time in red and black.
In a heartfelt Instagram post shortly after the news broke, Koo reflected on his journey. “I want to thank the Falcons organization for giving me an opportunity when no one else would six years ago,” he wrote. “This place helped me grow as a kicker and as a man. I will forever be grateful for the support from the fans during my time here. I have nothing but love and respect for everyone in the building. I wish y’all the best. I’m full of gratitude and excitement as I continue my journey in this league.”
2 sourcesThe release has sparked immediate speculation about Koo’s next landing spot. At 31, with an 86% career field goal percentage (13th all-time in NFL history) and 96% on extra points, he’s likely to draw interest from contending teams seeking kicking stability.
Social media buzzed with calls for teams like the Cleveland Browns to pursue him, especially amid their own kicking woes.
For Falcons fans, the move is bittersweet. Koo’s clutch kicks, including game-winners against rivals like the New Orleans Saints, cemented his status as a fan favorite. As one X user lamented, “Younghoe Koo has been an Excellent Kicker for the Falcons a number of years… Not a Class Move, Falcons!”
Yet with Romo’s hot start and the team’s push for an NFC South title, the front office clearly prioritized momentum over sentiment.
The Falcons (1-1) look to build on their defensive dominance against Carolina, but the shadow of Koo’s departure looms large. In a league where kickers can make or break seasons, Atlanta is betting on fresh legs to keep the rise going.

Sellers retreated from the U.S. housing market in August, reacting to subdued interest from budget-constrained buyers, per Zillow’s latest report. Active buyers face a wealth of choices, particularly in regions with robust inventory levels.
Yet the rapid shift toward buyer-friendly conditions seen in prior months is stalling on a national scale.
“Buyers who can swing a purchase and have held off for the ideal entry point should scrutinize current listings,” advised Zillow Senior Economist Kara Ng. “Homes are available, though not always the newest arrivals. Those on the sidelines should reassess their finances—mortgage rates are down from recent peaks, and in certain areas, sellers are open to negotiation. That said, this buyer edge won’t last forever. Leverage is waning as more sellers delay their listings.”
Key Market Shifts: Cautious Buyers Prompt Seller Caution
Soaring home prices keep many would-be buyers out, benefiting those still searching. Zillow’s market heat index indicates a balanced landscape nationally, with buyer competition at its lowest for any August since 2018.
Consequently, home values have flatlined. Zillow’s Home Value Index reports zero growth over the past year—the weakest annual pace for any month since early 2018, the second-slowest overall in that period.Homes are lingering longer on the market as well.
Buyer-Friendly Markets: Southern Swing States Tip Toward ShoppersBuyers wield the greatest leverage in the South, where pandemic-fueled boomtowns have cooled into opportunity zones.
Cities like Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Austin now boast more active listings than pre-2020 levels, bolstered by builders ramping up construction to satisfy pent-up demand.
Even Seattle has flipped the script—from a seller’s stronghold to a buyer’s playground in just one year—fueled by a 22% surge in inventory.

Defying usual late-summer slowdowns, however, buyer rivalry edged higher in the period’s final weeks.
Homeowners, mirroring buyer hesitance, have largely shelved listing intentions. New listings hit an August record low in Zillow’s data, with a 7.3% month-over-month plunge exceeding typical seasonal dips.
Good Advice for Buyers in the Atlanta Housing Market
- Get pre-approved for a mortgage early: In Atlanta’s buyer-friendly market, where inventory has surged 37% year-over-year and homes linger for 47+ days, a strong pre-approval letter gives you an edge in negotiations and shows sellers you’re serious—potentially unlocking concessions like closing cost help.
- Leverage the increased inventory for better deals: With over 9,100 homes listed in Atlanta last month (up 10% from prior) and more than 30% of listings seeing price cuts, shop around without rushing—aim for properties that have sat on the market longer to negotiate reductions of 5-10% off asking price.
- Reassess your budget amid stabilizing rates: Mortgage rates are dipping toward 6-6.5% by year-end, boosting purchasing power in a market where median prices hover around $380K-$400K (down 2-3% annually)—factor in extras like 2-3% property taxes and HOA fees to avoid overextending
- Target affordable suburbs for value: While Buckhead and Midtown may see 2-3% appreciation, explore stable, lower-cost areas like East Atlanta or Decatur for better entry points and less competition—suburban inventory is up, offering negotiation room without sacrificing Atlanta’s job-driven growth.
- Work with a local Atlanta realtor: Partner with an agent who knows neighborhood trends—like the 9% sales uptick in metro areas—to navigate the balanced market (4.6 months of supply) and spot off-market deals before they hit listings.
- Build a buffer for closing costs and inspections: Expect 2-5% of the home price in fees; in Atlanta’s cooling scene, insist on thorough inspections to uncover issues in older stock, and use findings to renegotiate—especially with 25%+ of homes needing price adjustments.
Final Word
Don’t wait for a crash—act if it fits your needs: Nationally and in Atlanta, experts predict gentle 2-3% price rises through 2025 with no downturn; if the home meets your long-term plans and finances, buy now to lock in before demand rebounds with lower rates.
Atlanta has one of the best real estate markets in the country, with affordable housing in every quadrant of the city. Large backyards, manicured parcels and strong neighborhoods with ample dining amenities make it one of the top places for transplants.

Bottomless mimosas are a hit in Atlanta due to the city’s vibrant brunch culture, which thrives on social, leisurely dining experiences. The combination of sparkling wine and orange juice is refreshing, versatile, and pairs well with brunch staples like fried chicken, waffles, and shrimp and grits, which are popular in Atlanta’s Southern-inspired cuisine.
This article will show you some of the best places to get bottomless mimosas in Atlanta.

More importantly the service was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Our server, Malcolm, was so lively and made us feel right at home. The manager, Chris, spoke with us frequently, gave us recommendations, and made our experience even more enjoyable. This restaurant is the definition of Southern Hospitality. They’ve definitely gained two forever customers. Thank you so much for giving us an experience that’s considered rare in this post-COVID world.”

They made sure we got our money’s worth! The food was delicious. We all got a different plate from the brunch menu and loved it. They definitely add something extra to the waffles that make them taste better than normal. The whole table agreed on that. The French toast and the breakfast sandwich were also top tier. The brunch specialty drinks were amazing and our server was top notch about drink recommendations. I will definitely be return soon! Sorry, about the chicken and waffle photo. I started eating my chicken before I took and photo and almost didn’t want to stop for the photo.”

It was a great vibe and I was a little early so I snagged a table for one. Service was awesome, and so were the mimosas and hookah. Second time, I just went out for a night drink, but caught great vibes with random people; we bonded over the music. Finally today; this was the best time I visited. The service was great and so was the chicken and beef gumbo. I brought a friend from out of town and the restaurant perfectly described the vibe of our city, my home.”

I ordered my steak medium and it came out well-done so that’s was a bummer. But I had some of the waffle and home fries which were amazing.”

In case you want to go the DIY route and experience the mimosa powers in the comforts of your own home, it’s quite easy to make one (or three).
Here are the directions:
- 2 parts champagne
- 1 part orange juice
- Mix in a champagne glass (fruit garnish is optional)
Final Sip
Bottomless mimosas. The name itself implies decadent excess. And guess what. You’re down. You’re down for it all. Saturday or Sunday, it doesn’t matter in Atlanta.
Why Are Mimosas So Popular?
You may think a concoction with orange juice as its primary ingredient wouldn’t have the magnetic effect it has on the brunch crowd, but mimosas are not your average adult beverage.
Drink lore has it that mimosas became popular a short distance from Ellis Island in New York as European immigrants bought their customs, cultures, and yes, mimosas, to America. The mimosa experience spread up and down the East Coast before branching out west.
Today the tasty drink is a mainstay at brunches across the Western world, including here in Atlanta.
Atlanta has a bunch of trendy restaurants, pop-ups and time-tested landmarks that continue to draw big crowds.

The Atlanta Dream are no strangers to high-stakes drama, but tonight’s winner-take-all clash against the Indiana Fever in Game 3 of the WNBA playoffs carries the weight of a franchise on the cusp of greatness. With the series tied 1-1 after a heartbreaking 77-60 loss in Indianapolis on Tuesday, the third-seeded Dream (30-14 regular season) return to the friendly confines of Gateway Center Arena for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff on ESPN2.
A victory sends Atlanta to the semifinals for the first time since 2013; a defeat ends a season of transformation under first-year head coach Karl Smesko.
Tickets are still available starting at $84, with front-row seats going for $297 – a hot commodity for what promises to be an electric atmosphere in College Park. The Dream’s regular-season dominance at home (18-5) and league-leading rebounding (36.6 per game) could prove decisive against a shorthanded Fever squad battling through a rash of injuries.
In this article, we’ll show you how to watch the Atlanta Dream game.

The best-of-three matchup has been a microcosm of both teams’ resilient paths to the postseason. In Game 1 on Sept. 14 at Gateway Center Arena, Atlanta asserted early control with a balanced attack, pulling away for an 80-68 win. Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard each poured in 20 points, while bench forward Naz Hillmon added 16 points and nine rebounds off the pine.
The Dream’s elite defense – second in the league at 90.6 points allowed per 100 possessions in the playoffs – stifled Indiana, holding them to 34.9% shooting and just 2-of-15 from deep.
But the Fever, fighting for their playoff lives without rookie sensation Caitlin Clark (out with a season-ending injury) and four other key rotation players, refused to fade.
Game 2 in Indianapolis turned into a rout as Indiana exploded for a 24-15 third-quarter edge en route to their 17-point triumph. Kelsey Mitchell led with 19 points and four assists, while Aliyah Boston notched a double-double threat with 15 points and five rebounds on efficient 7-of-12 shooting. Atlanta’s star guards faltered: Howard managed just 10 points on 3-of-9 shooting (0-for-4 from three), and Gray was held to nine.
The Dream shot a dismal 37.9% from the field and went 5-of-10 from the free-throw line, while Indiana was perfect at 15-of-15. As Howard reflected postgame, “We let their momentum build. Game 3 is ours to take back.”Key Matchups and X-Factors
Atlanta’s path forward hinges on rediscovering their offensive rhythm – they ranked second in the league with 421 three-pointers made during the regular season. Gray (18.4 PPG, 45.1% FG) and Howard (career highs across the board) must shake off Game 2 rust, especially against Indiana’s perimeter defenders Odyssey Sims and Lexie Hull.
Point guard Jordin Canada, probable after an ankle tweak, could be the spark with her playmaking; she’s averaged 18.2 points in recent head-to-heads.
Rebounding remains Atlanta’s superpower, led by All-Star center Brionna Jones (16.9 PPG at home) and Hillmon, the Sixth Woman of the Year. The Dream hold a +14 rebound percentage edge over Indiana’s depleted frontcourt of Boston (6-5) and Natasha Howard (6-3). “Our size was the difference in Game 1,” Smesko said. “We need to crash the boards like we own them.”

Perhaps you’ve seen the white Jaguars whizzing around Atlanta with no one in the driver’s seat. Uber has made them a big part of their rideshare fleet in Atlanta. Well, that lane’s getting wider, so to speak.
Self-driving startup May Mobility said recently that it will launch a driverless taxi service in Atlanta in 2026 in partnership with Lyft Inc.
May Mobility Teams With Lyft in Atlanta
The service will initially operate in a limited area of the city, with plans to expand over time.The move intensifies competition in the race to deploy robotaxis on a large scale.
Waymo, which launched its commercial service in Atlanta in March, is already operating in parts of the city, including downtown, Midtown and the southside.
May Mobility’s service will use a fleet of about 50 Toyota Sienna minivans equipped with the startup’s autonomous technology.
The vehicles will be fully driverless, without safety drivers on board, the company said.Lyft, which has a partnership with May Mobility dating back to 2020, will integrate the service into its app, allowing riders to hail the autonomous vehicles the same way they do human drivers.
“This is a big step forward for autonomous mobility in Atlanta,” said Edwin Olson, chief executive of May Mobility. “We’re excited to bring this technology to one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S.”
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens praised the partnership, saying it would create jobs and reduce traffic congestion.
“Autonomous vehicles have the potential to transform how we move around our city,” Dickens said in a statement. “This partnership with May Mobility and Lyft will help us get there.”
May Mobility, based in Ann Arbor, Mich., has been testing its technology in Austin, Texas, and other cities. The company has raised more than $150 million in funding, including from Toyota and Japan’s Mitsui & Co.
The startup’s technology relies on a combination of lidar, radar and cameras to navigate roads. Unlike Waymo, which uses a more complex array of sensors, May Mobility says its approach is simpler and cheaper to scale.
Waymo, a unit of Alphabet’s Google, has been the leader in the robotaxi space, operating in Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles and now Atlanta. The company has completed millions of miles of autonomous driving and is expanding its fleet rapidly.
But May Mobility’s entry could pressure Waymo to lower prices or expand faster. Lyft, which has struggled to compete with Uber Technologies Inc., sees autonomous vehicles as a way to cut costs and improve reliability.
“Partnering with May Mobility allows us to offer riders a new option that’s safe, reliable and affordable,” said Lyft Chief Executive David Risher.
The launch comes amid regulatory scrutiny of autonomous vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating incidents involving Waymo and Cruise, General Motors Co.’s robotaxi unit, which suspended operations last year after a pedestrian accident.Georgia regulators have been supportive of AV testing, approving May Mobility’s permit to operate driverless vehicles earlier this year.
Still, challenges remain. Atlanta’s streets are narrower and more congested than those in Phoenix, where Waymo got its start. Bad weather and construction zones can also complicate autonomous navigation.
Final Word
May Mobility plans to start with supervised testing later this year before going fully driverless in 2026.“We’ve learned a lot from our operations in other cities, and we’re applying those lessons here,” Olson said.
