    When you gotta go, you’ll be able to go artfully at SunTrust Park, thanks to the opening of new customized branded restrooms at the ballpark.

    Official American Standard-branded restrooms were installed in this 41,084-seat sports facility in time for the 2018 home opener.

    SunTrust Park Gets Branded Bathrooms

    The bathrooms include decorative murals that celebrate the American Standard products along with popular baseball imagery. Midwest artist Adam Turman, whose work is also on display at Target Field, created the Atlanta illustrations.

    “Our goal in this exciting new partnership was to provide a more comfortable experience for the fans while helping the organization to save money through the durable and water-efficient commercial bathroom fixtures and faucets from American Standard,” said Chris Brown, vice president of sales for LIXIL Americas, the division under which American Standard operates. “Our comprehensive commercial product offerings are built to withstand the high-traffic use they will receive in SunTrust Park for years to come, while providing high-style to this modern sports facility.”

    The Braves, who play at the cheapest stadium in MLB, have a promotional schedule packed with fun activities and events this year. There’s also some good baseball going on.

    Dish Of The Week: Odd Bird’s Chicken Fried Steak
    craigsotherlistyahoo-com April 11, 2018

    Yard bird is second nature in Atlanta. I mean, you can find fried chicken in all four corners of metro Atlanta, NW, SW, NE, SE. But delicious fried chicken? Now, that’s another matter.

    The city has made a name for itself with boneless chicken (Chick-Fil-A), chicken with bones in it (everywhere else) and even baked chicken (Picadilly). But there’s one place that knows what it’s doing when it comes to fried chicken.

    Odd Bird’s Chicken Fried Steak Available April 11

    On the second Wednesday of each month, West Egg Cafe hosts a pop-up concept called Odd Bird and their Chicken Fried Steak, with white gravy, waffle, rosemary syrup, is the Southern dish you need in your life.

    On Wednesday, April 11, from 5:30 to 9 p.m., the Odd Bird will have the yard bird on and poppin’.

    Hot chicken is having a serious moment in Atlanta. What with the entry of Gus’ Hot Chicken and Richard’s in Krog Street Market, you’d think a live spicy bird swooped to the city and made its nest. But while those restaurants are all good, Odd Bird has a captivating allure about it that is hard to match, let alone put into words.

    Odd Bird is located at 1100 Howell Mill Road, Atlanta, Ga. 30318.

     

    See you Wed, April 11, 5:30-9pm, at .

    Report: Fox Theatre’s Marquee Club To Open In May
    craigsotherlistyahoo-com April 4, 2018
    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.”
