Insomnia Cookies Midtown Atlanta to Open at University House

by

University House Midtown Atlanta July 28, 2015Looks like Midtown Atlanta will be getting another location for your sweet tooth! The Sweet Hut Bakery opened in Metropolis Midtown last year and seems to be doing well. Now,  you’ll have a spot for your cookie craving!

Insomnia Cookies Midtown Atlanta to Open at University House

Insomnia Cookies is a rapidly expanding late-night bakery concept that was founded in a college dorm room in 2003 at the University of Pennsylvania, by then student, Seth Berkowitz. I can so see the success of such an idea….back in college, it’s midnight and you want something sweet! AND it can be delivered? Holy Cow!  They specialize in delivering warm, delicious cookies right to the doors of individuals and companies alike. So all you GATech students….get ready for cookies!

Insomnia Cookies Midtown Atlanta July 28, 2015Insomnia Cookies has offerings of cookies, brownies, cookie cakes and even cold milk. Some locations serve and deliver ice cream…let’s hope that will be the case at the Insomnia Cookies Midtown Atlanta!  Residents in nearby Plaza Midtown, Aqua and MidCity Lofts will have a convenient spot for a late night sweet snack. It looks like you will need to make your coffee at home! And if you are a MARTA commuter, the store is just a block and a half from the Midtown MARTA station…grab a few cookies for the kids and the ride home!

The website for Insomnia Cookies also has great suggestions such as sending gifts to your college student! (Take note all of those parents we have sold Midtown Atlanta condos to for their GATech student!!) Looks like they will also do birthday gifts or group orders for your next event or meeting.

MyMidtownMojo.com looks forward to welcoming Insomnia Cookies Midtown Atlanta! We’ll be sure to sample them and let you know!

University House is scheduled to open next month in time for the Fall session at GATech. If you’ve driven by..they got some work to do, so we will expect to see the businesses open soon thereafter!

 

Buckhead’s Establishment to Re-establish at Colony Square!

by

Establishment Midtown July 28, 2015It looks like another Buckhead favorite wants to join the excitement of Midtown Atlanta!

Establishment of Buckhead will soon be Establishment Midtown and call Colony Square home! I have to say I never visited this watering hole while it was in Buckhead, but it looks to have a pretty cool vibe going on! I can see it being an awesome place for one of the after parties for the Atlanta Film Festival, who’s 40th Anniversary is in 2016!!

Keep an eye out for more news of the opening of Establishement Midtown and some follow up photos from MyMidtownMojo.com

Buford Highway Dining — It’s a Whole World In Itself

by

BuHi Dining Doraville GAAtlanta residents love, repeat L O V E their restaurants! Just walk up and down Peachtree Street in Midtown, and you will have at least 2 or more restaurants on any given block. I once heard a statistic that the average Atlantan spends 70% of their monthly food budget in a restaurant! Not sure if that is still the case, but we have the restaurants to handle it.

But you may not always want to eat at the same place, right? May you have an international taste bud? Well then, have I got the place for you….Buford Highway! Or it can be called The Buford or now I’ve heard BuHi.

Buford Highway Dining — It’s a Whole World In Itself

First off…it’s really easy to get to…at least by car. Take West Peachtree out of Midtown, and follow the signs. Don’t get on I-85 or GA400. Just keep going…and you are on Buford Highway! And you will quickly see the ethnic diversity of this corridor! Brookhaven will start off with more Hispanic, and then as you move into Chamblee and Doraville, you’ll find Vietnamese pho, shrimp wrapped in tofu skin, or banh mi, then you have come to the right place. (Mind you two of those dishes I can’t even imagine!)

But, most of this cuisine is just not up my alley. But here’s a great article from Bon Appetit that will fill you in on some of the hot spots on what they now call BuHi!

Eat The World Along Atlanta’s Buford Highway

While actors and crew may not be able to break away from set during the day, many of these restaurants are close by to Third Rail Studios and the Assembly Doraville development.

What Midtown Atlanta Restaurants Are Open Christmas Day?

by

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.

Happy Holidays from MyMidtownMojo.com!

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!
