meat with vegetableSo, Maybe you just don’t feel like messing you your condo kitchen?

Is there dining room for Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother, etc. in your condo?

Who Feels like cooking?

If you find yourself asking those questions, then maybe you’ll want to Dine out on Christmas Day in Midtown. Now, the question is….

What Midtown Atlanta Restaurants Are Open Christmas Day?

Here is a quick run down of your options in Midtown on Christmas Day. As a quick disclaimer, we had seen a post that Henry’s and Ten Midtown were open, but we did not get a call into these places, so you may want to check for them as an option as well.

Hudson Grill — Peachtree Street    Open till Midnight

Cafe Intermezzo – 12th & Midtown on Peachtree Street    Open till 1am

Burger Fi –Cresent Avenue Behind 1010 Midtown  Open 11am to 11pm

 

Yep…that is a pretty short list indeed….but some options. We compiled this information on a weekend, and in checking with Midtown hotels, we were often referred to the Sales Department as Christmas buffets are often considered a Catering Event. So, you might check with the Hyatt Midtown, Loews’ and The Four Seasons to see if they have openings for their Christmas dinners…if they have one.

Specifically, restaurants that we contacted that will be Closed on Christmas Day Include:

Gordon Biersch

Fresh To Order

Taco Mac

Mi Cocina

Max’s Wine and Dive

Otherwise, if not listed here, we did not contact them. So if one of your favorites is not listed here, you might want to give them a jingle (no pun intended) and see if they are an option for Christmas Day.

Here To Serve’s Shout Midtown Restaurant Closing Dec. 23 as Tom Catherall Retires | What Now Atlanta

by

Shout did not have the best of relationships with nearby Hanover House and Colony Square condominiums due to noise issues from their patio and various events held there.  But, it sadly leaves another vacant spot in retail/restaurants in Midtown Atlanta.

Co-Founder Leigh Catherall set to helm restaurant group. Change could mean eviction for Twist and Prime, which I find interesting that Simon Properties is trying to kick them out of these two locations….unless they have been a problem tenant…or the space is more valuable for something else?

Time Restaurant to Replace Straits at 5th and Juniper

by

Buckhead Bottle Bar Moves to MidtownIt looks like someone else if going to try and make a go of it at this challenged restaurant corner!

Time (formerly a.k.a. Buckhead Bottle Bar) is going to be moving into the space at the corner of 5th and Juniper. The last try, Straits did not do so well. It may be the location, or maybe no one has found the right combination for that space. And it always faces a challenge being so close to the residential townhomes that dot both sides of 5th Street between Juniper and Piedmont.

Time Restaurant(s) as they say (and what does that actually mean) Facebook Page gives no indication as to when the new space will open.

We’ll be watching to see what happens!

West Midtown Atlanta — It’s Happening And MORE!

by

West Midtown White ProvisionIf only I’d  had the foresight to buy some old warehouse  in the district that is now West Midtown Atlanta! Because now, the entire area is HOT, HOT, HOT!!

And there appears to be no end in sight! I’m currently working with a Buyer looking in the area, so it’s got me spending more time on the other side of the Downtown Connector…and so I should!

Retail and Restaurants are popping up all over the Westside Provisions! There is the new Elan Apartments at 14th and Howell Mill Road. And the Weston Eastside Apartments already has a sign on the street “A Few Homes Remaining!” The apartments are filling up fast! There is no new condo construction in the immediate area of Howell Mill and 14th…and only White Provision has just a couple developer homes remaining!

West Midtown Loft Office SpaceToday, The Atlanta Business Chronicle had reported a new loft office development that is coming on Ellsworth Industrial Drive. It looks like it will re-position an existing warehouse-type building that currently has two furniture stores. (And where will THEY go.) Geared towards creative-type firms, the 75,000 square feet of space will fill a much needed office space niche.

“Cool” firms look for cool space. People like to work in an office that is unusual. And the industrial edge of West Midtown Atlanta  still exists with its railroads and warehouses, but this kind of development is a great alternative to the office buildings in Midtown Atlanta proper. The story also reports that loft office space is up to 90 percent occupied in the West Midtown area!

Other exciting new additions to the area include the Topgolf International project, also on Ellsworth Industrial. (It’s 65,000 square feet of new construction on what was once vacant land)

I’m going to have to roam the streets more in this part of Midtown Atlanta to keep up with all that is happening!!

athenahealth Moves into Ponce City Marketplace

Ponce City Market Hard Hat TourEarlier this week, the first tenant at the long awaited opening of the Ponce City Market moved into their offices!

athenahealth Moves into Ponce City Marketplace

Way back ( certainly over a year ago) I had the opportunity to tour the building as Jamestown was working to turn the building from awful to awesome…which they have. That’s where this photo on the right came from!

But this week, the space is starting to buzz as Watertown, MA-based athenahealth — a health IT company —  unveiled their  new 60,000-square-foot home inside the brick building . Initially, some  200 employees will occupy the space, but growth plans call for up to 600 people and double the space to 120,000 sq.ft within the next 5 years.

athenahealth employees will enjoy the awesome location of Ponce City Market next to the Beltline! Just across the street they’ll find Whole Foods and other stores! But from a living standpoint athenahealth employees will have some great options between Midtown Atlanta condos, apartments in the immediate area of The Market and quaint homes in the Virginia-Highland area.

We look forward to helping these new arrivals discover all that Midtown Atlanta has to offer, both for fun but for living as well!

Here is a link to the story in Curbed Atlanta with pictures of the new space. (We did not want to “borrow” photos we did not have permission to use…so check out the story and the space….pretty cool place to work for sure!
