Part of Atlanta’s charm lies in its diverse food scene, from the rich culture to the bold flavors. The saying often goes that “Atlanta isn’t a real place,” and what makes it unique is the bustling array of dining and drinking spots on every corner of the city’s neighborhoods, catering to every palate. Lucky for locals and tourists alike, there’s never a shortage of places to visit, especially when new businesses are rolling in every month.
With the holiday season in full swing, The Atlanta Voice rounded up a list of pop-ups and holiday hotspots you can visit in the coming weeks.
Holiday Pop-Ups
The Americano
3315 Peachtree Rd NE
The holidays are incomplete without hot chocolate to chase away the cold. The Americano, Intercontinental Buckhead’s dine-in restaurant by chef Scott Conant, is offering a hot chocolate bar where guests of all ages can enjoy hot chocolate flavors topped with fun additions such as crushed candy canes, peppermint whipped cream, and toasted marshmallows. Signature espresso martini flavors, crafted by Beverage Director Katie Bellingero, will also be available.
The hot chocolate bar will be available every Friday and Saturday in the restaurant from 3-6 p.m. all season long.
