The Old Sears Roebuck Building is Midtown Atlanta’s crown jewel now, when it comes to development.
Krog Street Market was an old decrepit warehouse that Tyler Perry turned into a cavernous studio before developers eyed it for a community space. With the success of Ponce City Market, developers saw this Old Fourth Ward spot as a perfect place for Krog Street Market.
The Market Hall at Halcyon has been in the works for a few years now after the success of Ponce City Market. It officially opened in 2019 right before the pandemic.
The 5-acre space offers residents of Alpharetta and nearby Forsyth County a place to shop, dine and get fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the week.
One place we love over there is the Downtown Alpharetta Farmers Market, which is typically open on Saturdays from April through November from 8:30am-1pm. You can’t miss it in the Alpharetta Town Green area at City Center in front of City Hall on North and South Broad Streets.

Here’s what one reviewer says about Pancake Social: “Very clean inside, all the staff wore masks and were very helpful and polite. The food was so fresh! I had the pancake special and the eggs were generous, and creamy! The mimosa was strong! Very good and the pancake was perfect- they are large and not too thick, so one was just enough to eat. Will be back!”

Here’s what one reviewer says about Patria Cocina: “Off the charts. Went here with my family for my birthday and everything I put in my mouth was ridiculously delicious. The Cozuela margarita was beautifully presented in a bowl with half a grapefruit, orange, and lime. One of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Chicken enchiladas and guacamole were both crazy good. First time visiting but definitely not the last.”
