Agnes & Muriel's Relocates To Buckhead


Local favorite Agnes & Muriel's left their 13 year old space on Monroe Dr. in midtown Atlanta this past Sunday and will open for business this weekend. The restaurant opens in the shuttered Cafe Dupri, owned by local hip hop icon Jermaine Dupri. Making the move from midtown should pay dividends for this eatery, with easy accessibility off Piedmont Rd. and close proximity to Lenox and Phipps. You can't tell from the outside but this little joint can seat up to 120 and has a private dining room for special occasions. Repeat Atlanta!

Maxim Prime-d For Buckhead Move?


Jeffrey Chodorow's Maxim Prime restaurant will close its first location March 1st*. Open for about a year, the restaurant was the first of a number of planned Maxim Prime locations nationwide. The reason behind the closure is owner David Marvin's desire to increase the meeting and banquet space of the hotel. There was talk months ago of Chodorow's China Grill restaurant coming to Buckhead, but no word of late. The speculation now being that Maxim Prime will reopen in a bigger Buckhead space within the next few months. Repeat Atlanta!
* Despite the closing date being reported as March 1st, a source within the restaurant claims it will in fact close this Sunday, February 15 after dinner service. Maxim-ize your time, eat while you still can!

The Low Down On LOEWS Atlanta Hotel

According to a source within the company, LOEWS Atlanta Hotel is 8 weeks ahead of schedule for the opening of its new Atlanta property. Adding to what is being coined the "Midtown Mile", the hotel will complement the recently completed 1010 high rise when the hotel opens the first week of February 2010. Loews is also relocating its regional offices to Atlanta ahead of the opening of the hotel. Repeat Atlanta!

This IS Big! - PGA Tour Superstore Closes Buckhead Location


PGA Tour Superstore, a giant golf and tennis retailer with locations across the U.S. from Atlanta to Myrtle Beach, Plano and Scottsdale among others, has closed one of its Atlanta area stores. Opened in late 2006 in a portion of the building that had housed a short-lived EXPO Design Store by The Home Depot, the store is now closed. Originally the land had a Sam's Club on it, later the EXPO and most recently the PGA Store, now comes word the store was doing well but closed as a result of the pending sale of the land to an apartment developer. Atlanta did have the greatest number of PGA Store locations with 4 (Kennesaw, Duluth, Roswell and Buckhead) and the Buckhead store was not actually in Buckhead per se, located off Lindbergh Dr. most easily seen by a north bound MARTA train, but its sad to see it go.

FIGO Pasta Goes OTP For Newest Location


FIGO Pasta with a few scattered locations around Atlanta from L5P to Vinings has gone up 400 for their newest location. This week FIGO opened near North Point Mall in Alpharetta on North Point Pkwy. In my opinion, FIGO puts wannabe [Artuzzi's] to shame as FIGO's sauces and pastas are made on site and come with fresh baked bread and olive oil. As an added bonus for you newbies, the first 10 people this week at the NP location to dine for lunch will eat for free! Repeat Atlanta!
