Nina & Rafi, a popular Atlanta restaurant on the Eastside BeltLine, has closed its doors after nearly seven years of operation.

The pizza joint announced its demise on social media on April 23, 2025. AtlantaFi.com covered the eatery when it opened its doors in 2019, anchoring a strong dining scene on the Beltline’s Eastside Trail.

Why Is Nina & RaFi Closing In Atlanta?

The primary reason for the closure, according to owner Billy Streck, was the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an Instagram post, the eatery stated that the restaurant industry was hit hard in 2020, and despite their efforts, Nina & Rafi struggled to fully recover in the years that followed, facing challenges that were ultimately beyond their control.

This aligns with broader trends in the restaurant industry, where many establishments have faced financial strain due to reduced foot traffic, rising operational costs, and shifts in consumer behavior post-2020.

Additionally, other social media posts suggest another contributing factor: poor management. Some former patrons and individuals claiming insider knowledge criticized the owner, alleging that the restaurant suffered from inconsistent service, frequent order mistakes, and a lack of attention to customer experience.

The restaurant’s history also includes a notable shift in 2020 when co-founder Anthony Spina left due to creative disagreements.

One Reddit user, citing a source who worked with the owner, claimed the closure stemmed from the owner prioritizing personal financial gain over running a successful business. While these sentiments reflect dissatisfaction, they are anecdotal and have not officially confirmed.

Whatever the contributing causes to the closure, we will miss Nina & Rafi.

What’s Next for the Nina & Rafi Space?

The space has been sold to Damian Otero of Rreal Tacos, who plans to open a fourth location of the tapas bar Eclipse di Luna in partnership with its owners.

Over the past couple of years, several popular Atlanta restaurants have decided to close their doors for one reason or another. Here’s a list.

Where To Get Good Pizza in Atlanta

With Nina & Rafi’s closure, you may be wondering where that good pepperoni is now.

1. Antico Pizza Napoletana (Multiple locations, e.g., 1093 Hemphill Ave NW, Atlanta, GA 30318)
   • Style: Neapolitan
   • Why It’s Great: A staple since 2009, Antico is renowned for its authentic Neapolitan pies with airy crusts, San Marzano tomatoes, and high-quality ingredients. Favorites include the Margherita and Diavola. It’s a local favorite, often cited as one of the best pizzerias in the U.S., though some note its communal seating and parking challenges. BYOB is a plus.
   • Note: Expect lines, especially at the original Westside location.
2. Varuni Napoli (Two locations: 860 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA 30308; 1544 Piedmont Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30324)
   • Style: Neapolitan
   • Why It’s Great: Known for its strict adherence to Neapolitan standards, Varuni uses natural sourdough and high-heat ovens for thin, delicate pies. The Margherita and specialty pizzas like the Bastardo (with spicy soppressata) are standouts. Some prefer it over Antico for accessibility and consistency.
   • Note: Offers a more refined dining experience than Antico.
3. Glide Pizza (659 Auburn Ave NE Unit 506, Atlanta, GA 30312; also at Inner Voice Brewing in Decatur)
   • Style: New York-style
   • Why It’s Great: Located on the BeltLine, Glide serves massive, foldable 20-inch Brooklyn-style pies with a light, crispy sourdough crust fermented for 48 hours. Popular choices include cheese, pepperoni, and “the Garlic” (olive oil, garlic, two mozzarellas). Its takeout window is perfect for quick grabs.
   • Note: Ideal for casual, on-the-go slices.
4. Savage Pizza (Two locations: 115 Laredo Dr, Avondale Estates, GA 30002; 484 Moreland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307)
   • Style: American/New York-inspired
   • Why It’s Great: A local institution with a comic book-themed vibe, Savage offers scratch-made pizzas with creative toppings like the Sav-Veg (veggie-heavy) or Cajun (spicy red pepper sauce, shrimp, andouille). Affordable and laid-back, it’s great for families or groups.
   • Note: Little Five Points location is vibrant but can get busy.

Final Word

Nina & Rafi is out; Eclipse di Luna is in. This transition indicates that the location’s prime spot on the BeltLine remains a desirable dining location — and that’s a good thing.

Tax time doesn’t have to be stressful, even if you likely owe Uncle Sam some money. You’re probably here because you want to know how to do your taxes for free in Georgia, so let’s ask the big question:

Can I File My Taxes for Free in Georgia?

Yes, you can file your taxes for free in Georgia if you meet certain eligibility criteria. Here are some options available to you:

IRS Free File Program

If your adjusted gross income (AGI) is $79,000 or less (this threshold can vary slightly year to year, but it’s typically around this amount), you can use the IRS Free File program to prepare and file your federal taxes online for free. Many of these partnered software providers also offer free Georgia state tax filing, though you should check the specific provider’s offer to confirm. You’ll need to complete your federal return first, as the state return pulls information from it.

• No Age or Residency Restrictions: There’s no age limit or requirement to live in a specific state—anyone in the U.S. (including Georgia) meeting the income cap qualifies. This includes citizens, residents with ITINs, and even military personnel.
• What It Covers: The program provides free online tax preparation and e-filing for federal income tax returns through partnered software companies (e.g., H&R Block, TaxAct, or others). Some of these partners also offer free state filing (like for Georgia), though you should check each provider’s terms, as this isn’t guaranteed across the board.
• Exceptions and Notes: If your income exceeds $79,000, you can still use Free File Fillable Forms, which are electronic versions of paper tax forms, but they’re bare-bones—no guided help, just e-filing. Also, the program is only accessible through the IRS website (IRS.gov/freefile) and is typically available from mid-January until the tax deadline (April 15, 2025, unless extended).

So, if your AGI last year was $79,000 or less, you’re in! You’d just need your tax documents (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) and a computer or smartphone to get started. Does that match your situation?

Georgia Free File Alliance

The Georgia Department of Revenue partners with software vendors to provide free electronic filing for both federal and Georgia state income tax returns for qualifying taxpayers. Eligibility often depends on income, age, or other factors, and some providers may charge for federal filing but offer the state return for free. Visit the Georgia Department of Revenue website to explore approved providers and their criteria.

Who Qualifies To Use the Georgia Free File Alliance?

• Income-Based Eligibility: Most providers target taxpayers with an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) below a certain threshold, often aligning with the IRS Free File cap of $79,000 or less. However, some Georgia-specific partners might extend this limit slightly higher (e.g., $80,000-$84,000) or lower it (e.g., $60,000), depending on their offer. You’ll need to check each provider’s specific cutoff on the Georgia Department of Revenue’s Free File page.
• Age or Status Criteria: Some vendors offer free filing regardless of income if you meet other conditions, such as being:
  • Active-duty military with an AGI up to a higher limit (e.g., $79,000 or more in some cases).
  • A senior citizen (e.g., age 65+), though this is less common.
  • Eligible for certain credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which might broaden access.
• Residency: You must file a Georgia state tax return, meaning you’re a full-year resident, part-year resident, or nonresident with Georgia-sourced income. Federal filing through the same provider might be free or require a separate qualification (e.g., matching IRS Free File rules).
• Provider-Specific Rules: The Alliance includes multiple software companies (past examples include TaxSlayer, OLT.com, or 1040.com), and each has unique terms. For instance:
  • One might offer free state filing only if you qualify for their free federal option.
  • Another might charge for federal but provide the Georgia return free regardless of income.
• How to Check: Visit the Georgia Department of Revenue’s website (dor.georgia.gov) and navigate to the Free File section. There, you’ll find a list of participating vendors with links to their eligibility details. You’ll typically need your income docs (W-2s, 1099s) and last year’s AGI to confirm you qualify when you start.

Since it’s tailored to Georgians, it’s a great option if you’re filing a state return and want to save on fees. The catch is you’ll need to browse the providers to find one matching your income and situation—there’s no universal cutoff like with IRS Free File.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA)

This IRS-sponsored program offers free tax preparation by certified volunteers to individuals with incomes typically up to $64,000 (though this can vary by location), as well as people with disabilities, limited English proficiency, or those over 60. In Georgia, organizations like United Way of Central Georgia and universities such as Georgia Southern or UGA run VITA sites where you can get both federal and state returns filed for free. Some sites offer in-person, drop-off, or virtual services—check local listings for availability near you.

MyFreeTaxes

Supported by United Way, this online platform lets you file federal and state taxes for free with no income cap in some cases (though historically it’s been capped around $84,000—confirm current limits on their site). It’s a user-friendly option if you’re comfortable filing online and want multilingual support.

Other Free Options

Services like FreeTaxUSA offer free federal filing and charge a small fee (around $15) for state returns, but if you’re looking for completely free, stick to the options above.

Additionally, if your tax situation is simple (e.g., just a W-2 with no complex deductions), some commercial software like TurboTax Free Edition might cover both federal and state for free, though restrictions apply.

Final Word

To take advantage of these, you’ll typically need your W-2s, 1099s, Social Security cards or ITINs, and other relevant documents.

For VITA, you might need an appointment, so plan ahead as the tax deadline (April 15, 2025, unless extended) approaches. Need more time? Here’s how to file a tax extension.

Burger fans, get ready for some tasty news—Gwinnett Burger Week is back.

For a decade, 23 locally owned restaurants have been dishing out $10 chef-crafted burgers, and this year promises to be the most delicious yet.

When Is Gwinnett Burger Week?

Gwinnett Burger Week runs from March 17–23, 2025, marking its 10th anniversary with a weeklong celebration of burger brilliance.

Gwinnett’s skilled local chefs have spent ten years perfecting their craft, delivering unique, flavor-loaded burgers that keep us coming back for more. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s cooking for this milestone year:

• “KBBQ Burger” at Stäge Kitchen & Bar: A smashed Angus beef patty slathered in Korean BBQ glaze, topped with roasted cheese corn, house-pickled veggies, gochujang mayo, and served on a sesame brioche bun.
• “That’s My Jam Burger” at Old Fountain Tavern: A succulent patty stacked with melty Fontina and Gruyère cheeses, crispy bacon, balsamic onion jam, fresh arugula, and sun-dried tomato mayo, all nestled in a toasted brioche bun.

How To Participate in Gwinnett Burger Week

Want to level up the fun? Sign up for the Gwinnett Burger Week Digital Pass to track your eats and rack up points for a shot at exclusive merch.

The more spots you hit, the more points you score—and the more burgers you get to savor. Visit 10 restaurants, and you’ll earn a spot on the iconic Gwinnett Burger Week Wall of Fame!

Final Word

Atlanta’s got a solid burger scene that’ll satisfy any craving. Just outside the city in Dunwoody, NFA Burger slings a standout smashburger—two Angus patties with crispy edges, American cheese, pickles, mustard, and a killer Sassy Sauce on a soft Martin’s Potato Roll. It’s tucked into a Chevron gas station, but don’t let that fool you; it’s been hyped as one of Georgia’s best for a reason. In town, Grindhouse Killer Burgers is a go-to with multiple locations, like Grant Park, where you can get a juicy, crunchy classic or pile on Southern toppings like pimento cheese or fried green tomatoes. Plenty of spots like these keep Atlanta’s burger game strong—definitely worth a bite if you’re around.

Another week, another winter storm watch for Georgia.

A Winter Weather Advisory was issued for the North Georgia mountains and Northwest Georgia early Wednesday morning, Feb. 19.

That means some of Atlanta’s northern counties will likely get a few hours of snow and sleet. For Metro Atlanta, expect freezing rain.

Local forecasters say the worst weather will come between 5 and 7 a.m.

If you live in Metro Atlanta, you should plan on a cold rain for the morning commute.

According to the National Weather Service, “Light snow is forecast in far north Georgia on Wednesday. Totals will generally be a half an inch or less, but a few places above 2500 ft could see close to an inch. Be prepared for slick roadways.”

How To Drive in Rainy Conditions

Driving in rainy conditions can be challenging and dangerous if not done carefully. Here are some essential tips to stay safe:

Before You Drive:

• Check Your Tires: Ensure they have good tread depth and proper inflation for maximum traction.
• Test Your Wipers & Lights: Make sure your windshield wipers work effectively and turn on your headlights for visibility.
• Plan Ahead: Give yourself extra time to reach your destination, as wet roads can cause delays.

While Driving:

• Slow Down: Reduce your speed to maintain control and prevent hydroplaning.
• Increase Following Distance: Leave extra space between you and the vehicle ahead to allow more stopping time.
• Avoid Sudden Movements: Brake, accelerate, and turn gradually to prevent skidding.
• Use Defrosters: Keep your windshield clear of fog to maintain visibility.
• Stay in the Middle Lane: Water tends to pool in outer lanes, increasing the risk of hydroplaning.

If You Hydroplane:

• Stay Calm: Don’t panic or slam on the brakes.
• Ease Off the Gas: Let your car slow down naturally.
• Steer Gently: Keep your steering steady and avoid sudden movements until you regain traction.

Extra Precautions:

• Avoid Standing Water: Large puddles may hide potholes or cause your car to stall.
• Beware of Flooded Roads: Never drive through deep water, as it can damage your engine or sweep your vehicle away.
• Watch for Pedestrians & Cyclists: Rain reduces visibility, so be extra cautious.

By following these tips, you can reduce the risks associated with driving in the rain and ensure a safer journey.
