TIO LUCHO’S PRESENTS LA ÑAPA: A PERUVIAN COASTAL CRAWFISH BOIL

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 2/26/26

A Patio Celebration of Crawfish Season with Peruvian Coastal Flavor

Sunday, March 29, from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Crawfish season takes over the patio at Tio Lucho’s on Sunday, March 29, as the Poncey-Highlands restaurant presents La Ñapa: A Peruvian Coastal Crawfish Boil. From 1 p.m. to 9 p.m., the afternoon unfolds as a lively patio celebration where Southern lowcountry tradition meets the flavors of Northern Peru.

Inspired by “la ñapa” (nyah-pah), meaning “a little extra,” Chef and Owner Arnaldo Castillo leans into a spirit of generosity that connects Peru to the Gulf Coast. The word later evolved into lagniappe in Louisiana, an expression of giving more than expected, and that philosophy drives the day.

Waves of all-you-care-to-enjoy crawfish arrive hot and fragrant throughout the afternoon. Each reservation includes a welcome glass of house pisco punch, followed by crawfish tossed with andouille, sweet yellow corn, and red potatoes. Peruvian coastal sides are served alongside the boil, including arroz guisado layered with chicken and spice, red beans and rice, Peruvian potato salad, and house-made ají garlic and rocoto butters for added depth and heat. The patio carries an easy, celebratory rhythm from early afternoon into evening.

La Ñapa: A Peruvian Coastal Crawfish Boil is $120 per person, exclusive of tax and gratuity, and includes all-you-care-to-enjoy crawfish, coastal sides, and a welcome cocktail. Seating is available between 1 p.m. and 9 p.m., with advance booking encouraged. Tio Lucho’s is located in Poncey-Highlands at 675 N. Highland Ave. NE #6000, Atlanta, GA 30306.

ATLANTA RAMADAN FOOD FESTIVAL RETURNS THIS FEBRUARY

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 2/20/26

Family-Friendly Night Market Welcomes All to Experience the Flavors + Traditions of Ramadan

WHEN:
Friday, Feb. 27-Saturday, Feb. 28 | 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.

WHERE:
2077 Beaver Ruin Rd, Norcross, GA 30071

TICKETS:
Tickets are $12 (plus a processing fee). Purchase tickets here.  
             
INFO:
Please visit the website + Instagram page (@atlhalalfallfest).


 The Atlanta Ramadan Food Festival returns to metro Atlanta for its second installment with a one-of-a-kind overnight, night market-style celebration of food, culture, and community. Designed as a vibrant late-night destination, the festival features halal cuisine, cultural experiences, a diverse artisan market, and a dedicated kids’ area with family-friendly activities. Guests can explore indoor and outdoor spaces, enjoy complimentary water throughout the evening, and engage with community partner activations and charitable awareness opportunities that reflect the spirit of the season. Hosted by the Atlanta Muslim Festival Collective (AMFC), the organization behind the highly successful Summer and Fall Halal Festivals, the event is the group’s third signature food festival.

“After the incredible response, we’ve received to this and our Halal Summer and Fall Festivals in 2025, we’re excited to continue creating events that bring people together in meaningful ways,” said Hasnain Lakhani, co-founder of the Atlanta Muslim Festival Collective and Atlanta entrepreneur. “The Atlanta Ramadan Food Festival is about so much more than great food. We’re celebrating community during one of the most meaningful times of the year. Ramadan is a season centered on reflection, generosity, and connection, and this festival creates a space where Muslims and non-Muslims alike can gather, learn, and share those values. Whether you’re familiar with Ramadan traditions or experiencing them for the first time, everyone is welcome at the table.”

More than 60 curated food vendors from across metro Atlanta and the Southeast will transform the Norcross venue into a bustling late-night marketplace filled with global flavors, from sizzling kabobs and savory rice dishes to indulgent desserts and specialty beverages from a dynamic mix of local dessert makers, international street food concepts, and established halal restaurants. Featured vendors include Atlanta-founded brands like PONKO Chicken and Eggroll Boyz, both of which feature entire menus of certified-halal eats, and diverse neighborhood favorites,  including Simons Chinese for authentic Chinese and Thai Food, Island Seafood for fresh seafood dishes, Shaza Kitchen for delicious Indian cuisine, and Char Kingz for classic halal street foods, to name a few. Vegetarian, vegan, and select gluten-free options will be available. All menu items will be prepared in accordance with halal values – made with care, integrity, and respect for halal dietary guidelines. Like kosher or plant-based cuisine, halal food is something anyone can enjoy, and many Atlantans are already familiar with halal offerings throughout the city’s diverse dining scene.

The Atlanta Ramadan Food Festival celebrates the cherished tradition of gathering for iftar and suhoor – the meals that break and begin the daily fast during the holy month of Ramadan. While rooted in Muslim culture, the festival is intentionally designed to be open and welcoming to everyone. In keeping with the reflective nature of Ramadan, the festival will not feature loud music or amplified entertainment, instead focusing on meaningful cultural engagement. Guests of all faiths and backgrounds are encouraged to attend, learn, and experience an evening centered on food, connection, and community.

The Atlanta Ramadan Food Festival is proudly supported by community partners including Zakat Foundation of America, Islamic Relief USA, and Peak Capital Partner, organizations committed to humanitarian relief, charitable engagement, and strengthening local communities.

TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW: Tickets are $12 (plus a processing fee) and can be purchased here or at the festival gates if the event does not sell out online. Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance. Children ages 7 and under receive free entry.

PARKING: On-site parking will be available, with overflow parking coordinated nearby. Event signage and traffic direction will be in place to ensure smooth entry and exit for guests.

MORTY’S MEAT & SUPPLY EXPANDS AND LAUNCHES DUELING PIANO BAR ON NEW SMOKEHOUSE STAGE

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 2/12/26

Opening Night Friday, March 6 at 8:00 pm

 Morty’s Meat & Supply, the beloved barbecue destination in Funwoody Village (5521 Chamblee Dunwoody Road), is turning up the volume this spring with the debut of its new dueling piano bar. Beginning at 8:00 p.m. every Friday and Saturday, guests can experience Atlanta Dueling Pianos performing on the Smokehouse stage — an electrifying, high-energy sing-along show that transforms dinner into a full-scale entertainment event.

To bring the vision to life, Morty’s expanded its building footprint to create the new Morty’s Smokehouse Stage — purpose-built to host this dynamic live music experience. Founded by Francisco Vidal in partnership with Atlanta Music Agency’s Joshua Gray Hamilton, Atlanta Dueling Pianos delivers an unforgettable, audience-driven performance where no two shows are ever the same. The dueling piano artists are nothing short of extraordinary — incredibly talented musicians with commanding stage presence and the ability to play almost any request. 

In addition to dueling pianos, Morty’s keeps the entertainment going all week long. Morty’s Karaoke Night takes place every Thursday from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., also hosted by Francisco Vidal, and complimentary Team Trivia lights up Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m., and a variety of pinball machines are always active making Morty’s the ultimate midweek and weekend destination for food, fun, and unforgettable live entertainment.

Funwoody Village and DASH Hospitality Founder Davis Abes shared, “We’ve been incredibly excited to launch dueling pianos as a core part of the entertainment experience at Funwoody Village. In addition to our large LED outdoor screen—showing games, concerts, and more—we also offer complimentary, outdoor live music in the courtyard, line dancing at Bar{n} Booze n Bites, and karaoke and trivia at Morty’s. Atlanta Dueling Pianos, however, will be a reservation-driven experience where guests can sing and dance along, and fully immerse themselves in the live music. Dunwoody and the surrounding suburbs truly don’t have anything like this, and creating spaces for social engagement is something our team and I are deeply passionate about bringing to Funwoody.”

New menu highlights at Morty’s include the Mount NoshMore ($48) a towering pile of piping hot loaded nachos, mozzarella sticks, fries, fried pickles, and wings. In addition, the Sing-A-Long Sundae from Good Vibes Ice Cream Shop modeled after a traditional kitchen sink and available in 4 or 6 servings.
