    Brack’s Kitchen Coming To Buckhead Near Chastain Park

    2 Min Read

    Buckhead is getting a new restaurant near one of the area’s most famous parks. Healthy casual Brack’s Kitchen is going to open in December near Chastain Park, according to news reports.

    The restaurant will comprise nearly 2,6000 square feet in Buckhead Court shopping center at 3850 Roswell Road, home to Superica, a coffee shop and other eateries.

    The restaurant’s opening, first reported by Tomorrow’s News Today, 

    marks a more modern, hipper brand of establishments for Buckhead Court, which has traditionally relied on the stoic chains of middle America to draw shoppers.

    Signature dishes at Brack’s Kitchen will include Chicken & Dumplings, featuring marinated grilled chicken, balsamic roasted Brussels sprouts, black-eyed pea falafel, chili charred cauliflower as well as salads with the likes of marinated grilled shrimp, local lettuce mix, red onion, cucumber, citrus marinated avocado, marinated tomatoes, and cilantro lemon vinaigrette, according to Tonetoatl.com.

    The Atlanta restaurants scene is booming. The city’s suburban outposts, including places like Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Johns Creek and Alpharetta are all experiencing a restaurant rebirth as developers look to branch out beyond Atlanta’s core. There is also a generous scattering of burger joints, coffee shops and more around the Perimeter. Atlanta restaurants can be found in each quadrant of the city, trading on their respective environments to offer something truly unique to the community.

    Kicking off in Miami ‪on September 15 at The Fillmore Miami Beach, “Sting & Shaggy: The 44/876 Tour” will make stops at various venues along the way including Atlanta’s Tabernacle, The Theater at MGM National Harbor in WashingtonChicago’s Aragon Ballroom, plus additional Fillmore plays in both Philadelphia and Denver, before culminating at The Wiltern in Los Angeles ‪on October 15 (full itinerary below).

Members of the official ‪Sting.com fan club could buy tickets in advance ‪beginning Monday, May 21. Please visit www.sting.com/tour for details.

    Sting and Shaggy initially joined forces to record a new song, “Don’t Make Me Wait” (which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s digital reggae singles chart), as a tribute to the Caribbean sounds that influenced them both and ended up recording an entire album full of joyful and uplifting, melodic music. With its title referencing their respective telephone country codes (44 for the UK, Sting’s birthplace and 876 for Jamaica, Shaggy’s homeland), 44/876 honors the duo’s deep-rooted love for Jamaica: Shaggy’s birthplace, and where Sting penned such classics as “Every Breath You Take.”

    Along with continuing each artist’s exploration of reggae and its transcendent rhythms, songs like “Don’t Make Me Wait,” “Morning is Coming,” and “Gotta Get Back My Baby” reveal Sting and Shaggy’s shared passion for creating timeless music that defies expectation.

    WNBA Playoffs Game 5: Atlanta Dream Lose To Washington Mystics

    2 Min Read

    The Atlanta Dream lost at home Tuesday night to the Washington Mystics 86-81 in a winner-take-all game 5 in the WNBA playoffs semifinals. The game was played before raucous fans at Atlanta’s McCamish Pavilion on the Georgia Tech campus.

    Many hometown celebrities, including Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and several members of the Atlanta Hawks, were on hand to cheer on the Dream, whose dream season came an abrupt end.

    The Dream’s Twitter account showed appreciation to fans after the game, saying: “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Dream fans for an unforgettable season. We will back next year and can’t wait to have you with us along for the ride again.”

    The series was tied at 2-2 after the Dream evened things up, took the lead then failed to eliminate the Mystics on Sunday in Washington.

    With the Mystics big-time scorer Elana Delle Donna having a mediocre night, rookie Ariel Atkins proved too much for Atlanta to handle. Atkins scored a game-high 20 points and grabbed seven rebounds and three assists.
