MARKET IN THE PARK DEBUTS IN GRANT PARK EARTH DAY WEEKEND 

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 3/22/26

A New Monthly Gathering Presented by the Grant Park Conservancy Brings Food, Music, Makers and Community to Atlanta’s Oldest Park

Kicking Off Sunday, April 19 | 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

The Grant Park Conservancy is launching Market in the Park, a new monthly gathering designed to bring neighbors, food, music, and local makers together in Grant Park, Atlanta’s oldest public park. Debuting on Sunday, April 19 and continuing May 17 and June 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the new series will transform the Boulevard Green at Grant Park Gateway into a lively community hub filled with chef-driven bites, local vendors, music, and programming, with free admission for all ages, inviting people from across the city to spend the day in the park.

Produced by the Conservancy as part of its ongoing work to activate and enhance Grant Park, Market in the Park creates a fresh reason to gather in the heart of the park. Building on the same thoughtful curation that has made the Conservancy’s Summer Shade Festival a beloved neighborhood tradition, each market will feature a mix of prepared foods from local chefs, seasonal produce from regional growers, artisan and vintage vendors, live music, free yoga, workshops, and family-friendly programming throughout the day.

The series also arrives as several Conservancy-led improvements continue to take shape across the park. Just steps from the market lawn, the historic Milledge Fountain area is being transformed into the Milledge Fountain Outdoor Classroom and Theatre, a new space designed for performances, educational programming, and community gatherings. Along with ongoing improvements at the Boulevard Green and Gateway entrance, these projects reflect the Conservancy’s broader effort to make Grant Park an even more welcoming place to gather, learn, and connect.

“Grant Park has always been a place where Atlanta comes together,” said Michelle Blackmon, Executive Director of the Grant Park Conservancy. “Through our community survey and ongoing conversations with neighbors, we heard a clear desire for more opportunities to gather in the park and support local vendors. Market in the Park is our way of bringing that idea to life while continuing the Conservancy’s work to invest in spaces that help the park serve the community for years to come.”

The inaugural Earth Day edition is already shaping up with a lively mix of participants. Big Softie will make its first-ever appearance at a neighborhood market, while Sweet Auburn Barbecue and Tio Lucho’s Hermanita will bring chef-driven bites to the lawn. Zoo Atlanta will host educational programming for families, The Little Gym of Grant Park will offer free gymnastics activities for kids, and CHaRM (Center for Hard to Recycle Materials) will share ways residents can recycle responsibly and reduce waste at home. More vendors and programming will be revealed in the coming weeks, with a growing mix of artisans, farmers, plant vendors, vintage sellers, and community organizations joining the market throughout the season.

The Grant Park Conservancy’s new Market in the Park is designed around a simple idea: goods and gatherings for all. Parking is available at the Grant Park Gateway parking facility at 759 Boulevard SE, Atlanta, GA 30315.

Perfect for date nights, group outings, and spring celebrations, Wonderland offers a playful escape from the ordinary — right in the heart of Midtown.

In addition to the immersive décor, guests can enjoy AltaToro’s full modern Latin menu alongside a lineup of Wonderland-themed cocktails crafted exclusively for the pop-up experience.

AMORE E AMORE DIVES INTO NOSTALGIA WITH “UNDER THE SEA” SPRING & SUMMER THEME

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 3/9/26

A Vintage Coastal Fantasy Inspired by the Late Professor Giovanni Ferro’s Love for the Sea

Reservations Now Available 

This spring and summer, Amore e Amore invites Atlanta to dive into a whimsical world beneath the waves. Beginning Thursday, March 5, 2026, the beloved Inman Park ristorante will unveil its latest immersive transformation, Under the Sea, a vintage-inspired, delightfully kitschy coastal escape filled with nostalgic charm, playful surprises, and the theatrical spirit that has defined the restaurant for 25 years.

Inspired by the late Professor Giovanni Ferro’s love for the sea, the dining room will be transformed into a retro underwater dreamscape layered with shimmering blue lanterns, floating jellyfish, cheeky sharks, and nostalgic seaside touches that feel like a throwback to classic beach boardwalks and old-school ocean adventures. Turquoise, Giovanni’s favorite color, sets the tone throughout the space, washing the room in playful shades of blue that evoke sunlit water and carefree summer days.

As Amore e Amore continues celebrating its 25th anniversary, the theme feels especially fitting. For a quarter century, the restaurant has built its reputation on transporting guests somewhere unexpected, turning dinner into an experience and transforming the dining room into an ever-evolving stage for imagination and celebration. Under the Sea carries that tradition forward while honoring the spirit of the man who inspired so much of it.

“This theme feels incredibly special,” says co-founder “Mama Gale” Parker. “Giovanni always loved the sea. There was something about it that made him feel joyful and free, and that sense of wonder is something we’ve always tried to bring into the restaurant. For 25 years, our goal has been to create a place where people can escape, celebrate, and make memories together. Under the Sea is a tribute to that same spirit and the man behind that inspiration.”

Alongside the immersive décor, guests can expect Amore e Amore’s signature Italian cuisine paired with playful themed cocktails, creative zero-proof libations, and plenty of surprises woven throughout the dining experience. Additional details, menus, and seasonal surprises will be announced in the coming weeks. 

Amore e Amore is located at 467 N. Highland Ave. NE, Atlanta, GA 30307, and is open Tuesday through Sunday beginning at 5 p.m. Kids ages 12 and under are welcome from opening until 7:30 p.m. For reservations or more information, visit www.amoreeamore.com.
