    Slutty Vegan Opens 4th Metro Atlanta Location In Duluth

    2 Min Read

    Vegan sensation Slutty Vegan opened its doors in Duluth, Georgia, on Saturday, December 18, 2021. The grand opening vent ran from 1 to 6 p.m.

    The expansion marks the fourth location for the popular vegan spot run by entrepreneur and former TV producer Pinky Cole.

    Cole is not satisfied with staying in Georgia either. In early August 2021, she took the Slutty Vegan experience to Harlem, New York in a partnership with Shake Shack.

    She’s also put food trucks at strategic locations around the Southeast, including Birmingham, Alabama.

    Slutty Vegan has been a huge success since it opened the first brick-and-mortar restaurant in early 2019. Before that, Cole ran the business as a food truck.

    To show just how popular the restaurant is, more than 2,000 people recently waited in a long line to order from the eatery’s West End location. Granted, the special was a free burger, but still.

    Slutty Vegan has since opened a location on Edgewood Avenue, and another in Jonesboro south of the city. Now, the restaurant is growing, well, like a plant.

    Where Is The Slutty Vegan Restaurant In Duluth?

    The Slutty Vegan restaurant in Duluth is located at 2045 Pleasant Hill Road. Here’s a map to help you find it.

    Saints + Council Opening In Midtown Atlanta

    3 Min Read

    Saints + Council is set to open on Friday, December 10, 2021, in Atlanta’s Colony Square development.

    Brought to us by the CEO of Atlanta’s Cafe Intermezzo William Pitts, Saints + Council has been in the works since 2016, according to a press release.

    Saints + Council Opens At Colony Square In Midtown Atlanta

    Pitts wants customers to be wowed by Saints + Council’s decor, which will feature stylish living room pods, a fireplace, stately columns and more.

    The concept promises to be different from any dining experience you’ve probably had before. Here are some features that Saints + Council will have:

    • No single server: Customers can expect to be helped by several waiters and waitresses throughout their dining experience
    • You also won’t have to leave after an hour of service. They want you to stick around as long as you like!
    • Service will be handled by a team of staffers called “Memory Makers,” which will take care of everything from busing to food running to hosting and more.

    What Will Be On The Menu At Saints + Council?

    The menu at Saints + Council will be “focused” and “seasonally appropriate,” according to the press release.

    Best of all, Saints + Council’s cuisine will center on the “Dutch Baby” (a German egg pancake) culinary strategy, which will be served for breakfast along with pancakes, benedicts and different bowls.

    Lunch will consist of a variety of small plates, slow-cooked meats, savory sandwiches, seasonal salads and more Dutch Babies.

    Pitts said Colony Square, which is less than a quarter-mile from Cafe Intermezzo, won his heart because he was impressed with what the proprietors were doing with the place.

    “I chose Colony Square because the NAP [North American Properties] team is the best at what they do; continuously delivering high-level experiences,” Pitts said in a statement. Throughout my relationship with NAP, I felt like more than just a tenant, rather a true partner and I am grateful to have the opportunity to extend our relationship.”

    Saints + Council is among the many new restaurants set to open in Midtown Atlanta.

    If you want to check out some other romantic restaurants in Atlanta, these are hard to beat. But Atlanta also has trendy restaurants, pop-ups and time-tested landmarks that continue to draw big crowds.

    Bustling at the seems with big business, there are not many places to ride horses in the concrete jungle that is metropolitan Atlanta. But if you look hard enough, you can find some ideal ranches to stare at stallions.

    Horseriding in Atlanta

    Where Can I Get Horse-Riding Lessons In Atlanta?

    You may be wondering “Where can I go to ride horses in Atlanta?” Yes, there are some places to ride in the city. There are also some places outside the city to ride.

    How Much Are Horse-Riding Lessons In Atlanta?

    If you’re planning to ride, you need to know that it’s going to cost money. Horse-riding lessons typically cost anywhere between $60 and $90 per session. Of course, it depends on the particular ranch.

    • Horse food
    • Horse transportation (trailer if they have to travel)
    • Ongoing care
