  • Report: Fox Theatre’s Marquee Club To Open In May

    2 Min Read

     The Marquee Club, the Fox Theatre’s premium space, is set to open in May, according to news reports.

    The club is said to have immaculate decor with Moroccan-style lounges, a sweeping rooftop terrace and premium food and beverage. The club’s grand opening, which was first reported in The AJC, will include with member access on Thursday, May 17 and non-member access launching Saturday May 19.

    When it was announced in 2016, Atlantans didn’t quite know what to make of the Marquee Club. Was it a nightclub? A holding space for celebrities and entertainers or what?

    “When you think of the Fox Theatre, you immediately envision our legendary twinkling marquee. Standing the test of time, the Fox Theatre marquee is a beacon for patrons of the performing arts and a signifier of nearly a decade of memories,” Allan C. Vella, Fox Theatre president and CEO said at the time. “When we were brainstorming the name, we kept circling back to that one image that holds a special place in the heart of Atlantans – the marquee. Soon after, the Marquee Club became official.”

    Guests will also get priority in ticketing options as well as other amenities connected to the $10 million renovation.

    “We see the Marquee Club as an extension of the Fox Theatre. Most obviously, the footprint but also in guest experience,” said Adina Erwin, Fox Theatre vice president and COO. “Working with Lord Aeck Sargent, a local architectural firm specializing in conservation and preservation of historic venues, we have taken great pains to ensure patrons enjoy elevated service while their transition from the theatre to the club is seamless in both feel and design.”

  • Drink Of The Week: Pinewood’s ‘Lady James’

    1 Min Read

    If you’re looking for a citrus-y drink to get your engines revved juuuuust enough, then you’ll like what The Pinewood in Decatur is cooking up. The Decatur spot has quickly become known for its drinks, courtesy of its Whiskey Wednesday promotion.

    But I “digest”: What we want to talk about this week is The Pinewood’s “Lady James,” a mix of vodka, elderflower, rosemary, lemon, and blanc de blancs.

    This drink goes down smooth and is a perfect compliment to the indulges on the food side. Try it with the Anaheim Chicken Sandwich (toasted ciabatta, anaheim pepper, red onion, artisan lettuce, tomato, cheddar, remoulade) or the Ritz Cracker Crusted Chicken Breast (mashed potato, green beans, crystal gravy).

  • Report: Atlanta Beltline Center Opening April 28

    2 Min Read

    People who love to get out and about on Atlanta’s most famous pathway system will soon have a central hub to rest, gander at the crowds or just to chill at when the Atlanta Beltline Center opens later this month.

    The center is set to open April 28 at the Stove Works office complex near Krog Street Market. The center’s Eastside Beltline Trail location promises an influx of people and people-watchers.

    Speaking to Curbed Atlanta, ABP spokesman John Becker said the be a gathering place that educates the public on all things Beltline.

    “There will be maps and other visuals, but much, much more,” Becker is quoted as saying. “The Center will be a place where people can learn about all aspects of the Atlanta Beltline project—as well as the Atlanta Beltline Partnership’s mission—through exhibits, interactive displays, and programming that highlight the project’s history, scope, and impact.”

    Since even before its inception, the Beltline has been likened to a greatest municipal project in the nation and a shining example of community partnership and collaboration. Several areas of metro Atlanta are actively looking to imitate the pathway system, which aims to give people a safe space to jog, walk or enjoy their neighborhoods.
