“Savannah could lay claim to enough real history that it had no need of false honors,” John Berendt wrote. So, to get to know today’s Savannah, start with its past. Walk or bike around the celebrated 22 squares. Spot a colorful, turn-of-the-century masterpiece in the Victorian District, then smile for the requisite photo in the spray of the 166-year-old Forsyth Park fountain. Encounter Gullah/Geechee culture along the lyrical shores of the Moon River, and relax into the Lowcountry way of life on the Tybee Island coastline.

When living in New York City, I was spoiled with affordable, no-fuss sushi places that allowed me, a low-paid magazine editor, to eat my favorite rolls several times a week. After moving home to Atlanta, I struggled to find such places. While I love the pomp and circumstance and high art that is sushi at […]

A little over a year ago, Robert Kent Tuchman wondered if moving his Marietta-based RobertKent Galleries from 85 Church Street to 145 Church Street was the right decision. True, it wasn’t far—just a dozen-odd doors down the street—but number 85 had been a good fit for six years. Then he saw his own initials, RKT, carved into the pavement behind the building at the proposed spot, and fate seemed sealed.

When you’re in your forties, birthday celebrations traditionally fall into two categories: mundane (dinner out) or massive (expensive party or girls weekend). A close friend wanted to keep it low-key this year, but I still insisted we celebrate her. We decided to try something different: Neon Brush, a black-lit painting experience on the Westside. Located […]

You can hear, smell, and feel a sizzler long before it gets to your table. Served on a screaming-hot metal platter, sizzlers consist of a charred main dish and several colorful sides that arrive in a cloud of smoke, crackling and broiling. Nathu’s in northeast Decatur offers several varieties of the dish, all in a classic Indo-Chinese style—a fusion cuisine that combines Indian flavors with Chinese cooking techniques.

As Democrats attempt to flip the state for a second presidential election, many don’t know that the Democratic Party once dominated politics in Georgia, though in a very different form. For most of the 20th century, much of the South embraced the party, whose ideological identity—like that of its foil, the Republicans—was forged by the deepest conflicts in American history. It was progressive Republicans who pushed for an end to slavery, while Democrats espoused a conservative commitment to the status quo. But over the last 100 years, the nation’s two major political parties have effectively s ..read more

Sreekar Bommireddy leaves his North Decatur apartment at 4:30 p.m., headed for Georgia State University. Cars pile up on Clairemont Avenue, waiting to turn left with no turning lane, and he bobs and weaves his 2011 Toyota RAV4 around them. It’s a Tuesday in late July, and the air-conditioning in his car is almost at full blast. Traffic is clear on Scott Boulevard and Clifton Avenue, but then, near Moxie Burger, cars back up again, waiting to turn right on DeKalb Avenue.

Andrew Knowlton, the former deputy editor of Bon Appétit, who was raised in Atlanta, called it “one of the best cheeseburgers on the planet” in his 2016 ode to the Hillstone Restaurant Group. As a restaurant critic, I have eaten a lot of great burgers around the world, but the Houston’s burger is something special.
