Located about three miles east of downtown, Edgewood is bordered by Kirkwood to the east, Reynoldstown to the west, Candler Park to the north, and East Atlanta to the south. The community was developed around the turn of the 20th century as a response to economic boom, population growth, and a dramatic increase in the number of people working in the city. Located outside of the congestion downtown, Edgewood was geared towards blue collar workers that developed the land and built their craftsman-style homes there. Today, the neighborhood is marked by a booming commercial area, charming streets lined with modest homes diverse in character, and an admirably eco-concious creative community invested in coming together to make Edgewood one of Atlanta’s finest places to establish roots.
This neighborhood favorite is part wine shop, pantry, deli, bakery and rotisserie.
The fabled Atlanta institution, open since 1971, is famously known for its house special (‘The Ghetto Burger’), spirited owner “Miss Ann” Price (who regrettably passed away in April 2015), and her “8 Rules and Regulations for Service” (which remain posted on the wall to this day). This understated, no-nonsense eatery is, without argument, a true slice of Americana. Be sure to savor that burger we mentioned — a double bacon chili cheeseburger with a special ingredient — dubbed by the Wall Street Journal as 2007’s “best hamburger in America.” The wait to sit at the counter can be intimidating, but know you’re exercising patience for a legendary experience...or make a stop during an off-time to avoid the crowd.
