If you know about pani puri, 🙌. If not, put it on your bucket list! (Or better yet, just come on out tonight!) Chai Pani has live pani puri every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night.

Crispy, fresh puris are stuffed with masala ragda/potato mix, then dunked in your choice of sweet and spicy waters. 🇮🇳🙌

Look what we found – Atlanta Magazine featured Fawn Wine & Amaro Bar! 🍷 🤩

As the author Wendell Brock notes, “It’s a swell moment to drink well in Atlanta…” and Decatur is definitely on the scene. Enjoy Fawn’s amaro-focused cocktail menu and volcanic wine selections alongside seafood small plates.

🀄️Mahjong + Martinis every Tuesday at Café Lily ! 🀄️🍸

Mahjong, a traditional Chinese tile-based game, combines skill and strategy (like a cross between gin rummy and poker), but more importantly, it’s social! And in August, lessons are FREE for all new players.

🍽️ Come early for dinner and enjoy $5 martinis all evening.

🀄️Game play starts promptly at 6:30 pm in the Peacock room.

👉 How to Join: Reserve your space on OpenTable and write in your experience level to join in. New players, let them know you’re new to the game! You’ll be grouped with a teacher and provided with tiles & mats. All other players must bring their own sets. All levels are welcome.

We hope to see you there!

🥁📍This year, the traditional Pied Piper parade starts at the First Baptist Church, but it ends at the greenspace at the corner of Commerce Drive and West Trinity Place.

🎶After the parade, set up your lawn chairs or spread out your blanket and enjoy a free community concert (look for the sound stage!). The Dammages lead off at 7 pm followed by the Mike Veal Band at 8 pm.

🎆 The evening ends with a glorious boom – fireworks start at dark (approximately 9 pm).
