Atlanta is finally slowing down enough to enjoy long patio dinners and rooftop sunsets. This week's picks are all about getting outside, trying somewhere new, and meeting people before summer winds down.
Community Spotlight
🤍 Meet Simply BE, a luxury self-love and self-care community for women ready to pour back into themselves.
Founded by @brittleyjoy, Simply BE believes self-care is more than a spa day - it's a lifestyle rooted in rest, confidence, intentional living, and genuine connection. Through curated wellness events, elegant brunches, and creative workshops, they invite women to step away from the everyday and simply be.
Every experience is designed to leave you feeling restored, confident, and connected - to yourself, and to a community of women who know that caring for yourself isn't a luxury to be earned. It's a necessity to be embraced.

Where We're Going:
Rooftop Edition
Summer's winding down, which means we're squeezing every last golden-hour moment out of it - and there's no better way to do that than from a rooftop with a drink in hand. This week we're taking you on a tour of the city's best: Buckhead glam, Midtown views, that Downtown skyline, Old Fourth Ward's disco-ball energy, and the Clermont because some things never go out of style. Whether you're planning a girls' night, a first date, or just need a reason to get dressed up on a Tuesday, we've got 17 spots worth adding to your list.

New Opening's
Y Bar e Ristorante has opened its doors in Buckhead Village
New Italian Bar in Buckhead, Owned by the same hospitality group that runs Yeppa. Step into 1960s Italy without leaving Atlanta - think a sprawling U-shaped bar, antique Italian furnishings, sketches on the walls, and family photos that make it feel like a dinner party. Grab a seat on the piazza-inspired patio, order something Italian-inspired and stirred, and settle in for the kind of relaxed, old-world evening this city doesn't do enough of.
