by Dawn Landau Earlier this month, a group of my friends, along with my husband and I had the pleasure of getting a personal (golf cart) tour of Serenbe from founder Steve Nygren (it was part of a chef dinner silent auction prize through Project Open Hand). Steve welcomed us to his very different community, […]
Babalu Tapas & Tacos By Dawn Landau Who would have thunk it!? This Mississippi “chain” brings it. I was honored with an invite from Steve Saenz of Urban Explorers to a pre-opening trial run at their new Midtown location. The food was free and the proceeds from the beverages went to charities, one of which was […]
Poncey–Highland (PoHi) is a neighborhood near and dear to the Environs Team’s hearts. Both Dawn and John spent plenty of late nights in the 90s in the local bars, ending up eating “breakfast” at the Majestic Diner at 3am. Just down the road is Manuel’s Tavern – the meeting place for local liberals and, which, […]
This month it was an easy jaunt for the Environs Real Estate Team as they took friends and clients over to Oakhurst, a historic neighborhood in Decatur. Oakhurst is another of these wonderful tucked away places in the Atlanta area with an eclectic and, let’s say, progressive community spirit. Y’all may remember that Dawn and […]
We’ve all been there… It’s a crazy day after work and we desperately need to go grocery shopping to save ourselves from ordering way too much food on Uber Eats… Well what happens when local farmers come to you and your community providing healthier, tastier, local foods? You’ve got yourself a farmers market. Farmer’s Markets […]
Introduction from Amanda: I remember the first time I visited Little Five Points, 😯 that would have been 18 years ago!!

Little Five […]
East Atlanta Village is quite literally on the east side of Atlanta, but village is a bit of a stretch (if only the wee English village this writer grew up in had 3 music venues, amazing restaurants and bars, and some of the coolest street art in town). EAV is a pretty happening place and […]
If you haven’t been down (or up) to the Shops at Buckhead today, its time to start planning your next city adventure. The “premier destination of luxury shopping in the South” is everything it promises to be and more! For one, its not just fancy high end retail (although with the 3 hours complementary parking, one […]
How has this been so long coming? We all love the Westside, located, not at all strangely, just to the WEST of Midtown Atlanta, a hop over to the other side of the I-75/I-85, and it’s right about time we headed on over and sampled the wonderful selection of eateries. It’s trendy, it’s unique, and has […]
October October October, what are you doing to us?! We wanted to be wearing our knee high boots and complicated scarves by now! Nonetheless, the fabulous Environs team decided to take a second, closer look at the fine local eating establishments in Decatur, this time looking for places off the beaten track. Nothing stops […]
