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.

Buying the items you need has never been easier with online shopping, but are you using Google Shopping to get the best deal?
Google’s shopping tool can help savvy consumers save more money as well as get to the products they want. The redesigned Google Shopping experience now lets you track prices on items you want to buy.
In this article, we’re going to show you in a few easy steps how to track prices in Google Shopping.
Track Prices With Google Shopping And Save Money
If you’re not aware, Google Shopping is a shopping comparison tool that you can access inside your internet browser or via app. With Google Shopping, you can browse departments, search products and compare across stores.
Among the recent changes to the site is that you now have the option to buy an item three ways:
- You can choose to purchase online
- At a local store that has the product
- Or directly from retailers on Google
While all of that is great, perhaps the most important change to savings-minded shoppers is the new “price track” tool.
How Price Track Works
When you see an item you’re interested in, turn on “price track” and you’ll receive a notification on your phone when the price of that item drops. Let;s walk through the steps:
1. Go to Google Shopping and Search For Your Item
As an example, I searched for a Playstation 4 Pro gaming console and found one for $399.99.
2. In the Right Rail, Find the Track Prices Icon
I think I can get a better price, so I located the Track price button.
3. Toggle It to On to Track Prices
Once I toggled the Track price button to on, a got a screen notification that says: “You’ll get price drop alerts for Sony Playstation 4 Pro.” Here’s a screenshot of what that message looks like:
Google says you’ll have the option to receive those alerts through email, where you’ll be notified of any price changes.
How to Stop Tracking Products
You can stop tracking products either of two ways:
- By returning to the Google Shopping product page and turning the price toggle off.
- Or by going to Google’s My Activity page and deleting your activity history.
Now you’re tracking the product’s price and Google will notify you if it goes on sale. Google will send a daily email with information on price changes over the past 24 hours. You can stop tracking products in Google Shopping by going to Google’s My Activity page and deleting your activity history.
Last Words
Ultimately, tracking prices is a great way to save money for all kinds of items you need. If you want to save on groceries, tracking prices is how you do it.
