The Anthem is made possible in part by El Tesoro, a neighborhood treasure serving good quality food at reasonable prices.
🌯 Today and every Thursday = Birria Thursdays at El Tesoro… One of the few things that will get Connor to switch it up from his regular order (steak mulita).
📚 On Tuesday, the team behind Lucian Books and Wine opened Sargent in Old Fourth Ward, with similar themes but a more lively, casual setting.
🎈 Gigi’s Italian Kitchen is turning 4 on Monday! Enjoy everything you’ve come to love about Gigi’s plus live music, oysters, food and drink specials & more.

🍳 I’m not much of a brunch person (*ducks*) but this caught my eye: Funk Brunch at LikeMinds hosted by DJ Alphatrion.
⛺ Morningside Farmers Market will have arts and crafts for kids this Sunday so they can play while you shop.
🎆 Reservations are now open for Rosh Hashanah dinner with the General Muir… you can guarantee this will sell out.

🍤 Witty’s Seafood & Wings just opened up on Memorial across from the Lidl. Looks like they started as a food truck and have another location in Loganville. Reply with a review if you’ve tried it!
