"Open For: Lunch and Dinner Price Range: $$ This brick-oven pizzeria, owned by chef Leslie Cohen, arrived in Grant Park in 2018, bringing the neighborhood red and white sauce pizzas topped with everything from grilled steak and portabello mushrooms to pesto and spicy capicola. Beyond its pizza, folks can order meaty grinders here as well as pork belly toast, street corn, and meatballs. Best For: Brick oven-fired pizzas with steak" - Eater Staff
"Named one of Eater Atlanta’s hottest new restaurants in April, Birdcage proves to be a hot-spot watering hole, too. This airy space with incredibly fun pink-feathered chandeliers lends its Latin flare to its cocktail menu in addition to its plates. A selection of perennial favorites, like an espresso martini or Aperol spritz, take on bright, citrus and spiced flavors for delicious, if sometimes sweet, cocktails. The menu includes a horchata piña colada and a zero-proof tequila drink with lime and elderberry tonic. Go early to snag a seat or perch at the bar." - Molly Harris, Eater Staff
