"Opened by brothers Mike and Pete Jakob in 2006, this 600-square-foot bar was not even meant to be a bar: Originally, the siblings purchased the building, to house their construction business. Twelve years later, the tiny spot has become a gathering spot for artists, musicians, bikers, and downtown business types alike, who crowd shoulder-to-shoulder in the bar’s cozy confines. Head here for cheap beer, old soul tunes on a circa-1971 jukebox, live jazz sets, and some of the best deli sandwiches in town."
"As its name suggests, Two Urban Links offer a contemporary dining experience in an edgy, industrial style setting. The menu (created by executive chef Michael Bertozzi) is just as cutting edge as the venue, featuring dishes such as tuna poke made from ahi tuna, avocado, cucumber, miso, wakame, quinoa, compressed watermelon, and sesame; baked oysters with corn butter, bacon and pickled cherry bomb peppers; and shaved calamari in a sweet and spicy dressing with cilantro and wasabi aioli. With nominations such as “Best Restaurant Scene” and “Best Place to Take an Out of Towner” behind them, it’s not going to come cheap – and it doesn’t."

Plant-based bakery and café, Dulce Vegan is a cozy space worth checking out in the east end of Atlanta. Though baked vegan treats might be hard to come by in the city, there is no shortage of them here."
"We made the mistake of not trying any of Dulce Vegan Cafe & Bakery’s baked goods, mostly because we started with donuts and were ending with dessert. Instead, we opted to try their breakfast sandwiches. The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin turned out to be fantastic."

"Okay, okay—Kilwin’s is a chain—but there is only one in Georgia (in Atlantic Station) and you should go. The smell of chocolate greets guests at the door, and kids will marvel at the toys, candy cases, and decorations as they make their way back towards the ice cream. Very few things can actually distract a child from an ice cream cone, but the candy maker molding bite-sized chocolates at the front of the store just might do it."
"Kilwins is popular for its bestselling ice cream and chocolates. Their shop located in Atlantic Drive serves the best handmade chocolates, corns, and brittles, and fudge served on waffle cones is made fresh every day and topped with either caramel, chocolate, or fudge. They use only the freshest ingredients and heirloom recipes in making their quality ice cream and confections."
"The classic New Orleans treat is taken to a new level at Big Easy. Try custom creations like key lime, with condensed milk, whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs. Favorite kids’ flavors: cotton candy and Hawaiian Punch."
