Where To Eat With A Friend Who Greets You With “Grand Rising” - Atlanta - The Infatuation
"Situated in a quiet corner in Ponce City Market, LaRaiyah’s Bodega feels like stepping into another ecosystem. Ferns hang like curtains, the flower wall looks like it’s been doctored up in Technicolor, and downbeat hip-hop makes the chaos outside feel miles away. Bring that friend who names their plants and keeps a misting schedule more detailed than a strategic report. Smoothies named after rap legends like Nipsey Hussle and Missy Elliott are excellent. And our go-to, the OutKast, with cinnamon apples, nutmeg, and oatmeal, may put your friend in a humming mood. There are also light bites like Cee-lo Greens (smoky collards), acai bowls, and peach cobbler, which can occupy your vegan friend if you need to sneak away for an H+F burger down the hall." - nina reeder, jacinta howard
