Where To Eat With A Friend Who Greets You With “Grand Rising” - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Local Green in Vine City offers vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian options, so it’s a great meet-in-the-middle spot for different dietary restrictions. The counter-service restaurant has hip-hop-themed sandwiches like the tasty Bubba Sparxx packed with tangy BBQ jackfruit, and the Rappers Delight (our favorite)—a warm toasted hoagie stuffed with grilled salmon, mushroom, onions, and melty vegan cheese. Beat the AUC students in line and grab one of the few countertop seats facing the street. While you sip on a refreshing cucumber and cilantro lemonade or their blueberry-heavy Cell Therapy, the busy street view is a good place to zone out while your pal explains how Mercury retrograde made them late." - nina reeder, jacinta howard
