The first Krog Street Market restaurant is open: Luminary. Beverage manager is from the Wrecking Bar and chef is from Eno in midtown. Menu looks mainly french with a raw bar

I'm guessing the next one to open will be Ford Fry's Mexican concept Superica. Word on the the street is he's been going to Nuevo Laredo twice a week for the last year so expect something similar

Sounds and looks wonderful, trainiac. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to check this out, as well as Ford's new Mexican place.

This is my favorite neighborhood in the City, and I am basically pleasantly shocked at the rapid changes. Is all of this, IQ, etc. being embraced by most of your neighbors?

We know a lot of pioneers (i.e. folks who bought in the 1970's) and it's about 1/3 against and 2/3 for all this. I think the NIMBY crowd mainly ended up around Virginia/Highland and that's why there is *zero* development up there. We will definitely be walking/biking around Inman Park from now on because auto traffic is gonna be crazy after IQ, Krog & Alexan all come online. And there are rumors of a large development on Moreland just north of the Wrecking Bar. Whew!

^ Good to hear, and about what I expected. I've talked to some neighborhood folks at Barcelona, and they mirrored what you say.

And wow re: the rumors on Moreland!

Brooklyn-based home furnishings retailer West Elm could bring its new market concept to Atlanta. A building permit for the 13,750 square-store was filed last month.

I recently tried the new(ish) Ribalta Pizza on the 11th Street side of 1010 Peachtree. Its in the space that was once Piola and is a great addition to the neighborhood. Tasty food in a wonderful looking space at pretty reasonable prices. Oh, and a fantastic Christmas tree made from a stack of large tomato cans...'tis the season.

The website is very NYC focused but you may get an idea of what to expect. The local menu isn't quite as extensive but still plently of options.

Popular fashion retailers J. Crew and Anthropologie look to open new stores at Ponce City Market, the massive mixed-use project taking shape along Atlanta BeltLine's Eastside Trail in the Old Fourth Ward neighborhood.

Permits recently were filed in Atlanta related to the new stores.

On Dec. 10, a building permit was submitted for a roughly 5,300-square-foot J. Crew store, which is estimated to cost more than $500,000 to build out.

On Dec. 1, a permit was filed related to electrical work for a roughly 10,000-square-foot Anthropologie store at Ponce City Market.

I don't think it has. The PCM folks were doing some on line campaigns to attract them, but there hasn't been an announcement that I know of.

GeorgiaPeanuts · #**293** Posted **Dec 12, 2014, 5:21 PM**

I'd love an REI right there. They need to make it happen' cap'n

smArTaLlone · #**294** Posted **Dec 12, 2014, 5:36 PM**

Is SurlaTable confirmed? I missed that one.

Harry Cane · #**295** Posted **Dec 12, 2014, 7:53 PM**

Hadn't heard about either REI or Sur La Table, though the latter makes perfect sense if this is to be a food-centric location. It would be a good addition too, or maybe another Cook's Warehouse, but with one close at Ansley, unlikely.

Alas no word on anything like Dean and Deluca, or my other hope, Eataly. And with the announcement of Bellina, seems unlikely. They sound too much alike.

I heard that from the leasing consultants at the Flats at PCM. I asked one of the selling associates at the Phipps Plaza locations and she said she had heard that but didn't know if it was a done deal.

Last I heard, Buckhead Atlanta was aiming for Eataly. But that was back in August or September. Haven't heard anything since.

smArTaLlone · #**298** Posted **Dec 13, 2014, 3:52 PM**

Speaking of new openings, any thoughts on Krog Street Market? I have yet to make it over there but I hear its already very crowded.

I think I read somewhere (an interview with Oliver McMillan folks) that they were still in talks with a food retailer, but it wasn't Eataly. They (the Eataly folks) decided it wasn't a good fit.

Re Krog, went by last week. It was right before lunch, on a workday, and of course, not everything is open, so not the best gauge of popularity, but there were only a handful of people there. I've also heard it's packed at night. It's OK, but somehow smaller than I pictured it. I think it was because the building is pretty large, and I expected it all to be market, but a good bit of it is inside parking.

We went on Friday night and it was pretty packed. Hop City had 60 beers on tap (the retail store is now open too), Yalla was out of food again (not sure what their problem is), Luminary and the sushi place were pretty packed. Doesn't look like Superica has made any progress.

Good energy with a lot of college kids hanging out
