Candler Park & Little Five Points

The Candler Park neighborhood and the Little Five Points business district share both a common border along Moreland Avenue and an interconnected bohemian history. Before being swallowed by Atlanta, Candler Park was a town called Edgewood. Today, it still retains its charming small town vibe. It's a bit like Mayberry, if Andy Taylor biked to work and Aunt Bea baked "special" brownies. Historic craftsman bungalows and smiling young families dominate the landscape. The business district of Little Five Points is Candler Park's younger, counter-culture cousin. Although dotted with head shops and curious teenagers, newer businesses like the Wrecking Bar Brewpub are decidedly more grown-up in nature, a possible sign of changes to come.

This retro diner serves standard Southern breakfast and lunch fare with a tex-mex twist from 9am - 2pm. Grits, biscuits and sweet potato pancakes are the local faves. Or come back for dinner Friday through Sunday when pop-up restaurant "Eat Me Speak Me" takes over the space. Chef Jarrett Steiber creates innovative, ingredient-driven cuisine at food-truck prices ($3 tacos! $9 Catfish!). The casual, self-aware hipster vibe inside extends to the menu descriptions: the summer lettuce salad is garnished with "pretentious flowers;" the blondie and whiskey milk dessert comes with "grandma vibes." It's BYOB, so grab a bottle a couple doors down at Candler Park Market.
