"The fresh artisan bread at Alon’s accent the incredible sandwiches, such as the lamb with tomato, rosemary and red onion marmalade. But the star is the huge raspberry and cheese danish—the center is rich and creamy with the perfect amount of tangy, sweet fruit. You may want to split this massive pastry with someone!"

"Alon’s markets haven’t skipped a beat after transitioning to takeout and delivery via UberEats. Both the Morningside and Dunwoody locations offer full take-out menus ready for curbside pick-up, including Alon’s extensive selection of desserts. Pre-order Passover and Easter desserts here, too."

"Jay White, owner of 640 West in Atlanta’s West End, sees his restaurant not so much as a place to eat, but a place to meet. “It wasn’t necessarily me wanting to open a restaurant more so than wanting to open a space that would bring community together,” he was quoted as saying."

Cut 20 minutes east to knock out Henry & June, a gorgeous sliver of a boutique/cafe carrying outré fashion and coolly minimalist Komono watches, and Young Blood Boutique, Rebecca Hanna’s Poncey-Highland paean to all things “lifestyle”: delicate Japanese incense, framed illustrated prints, and Design Sponge-worthy ceramics."
