The restaurant pipeline at Midtown's Spring Quarter keeps flowing. Pataaka, a family-style Indian restaurant from chef Anish Nair with about 113 seats, opened August 22 at 1020 Spring Street, and Japanese restaurant Sozou is due at the neighboring Ten Twenty Spring tower.

Farther east, The Dale is bringing new restaurants, shops and residences to downtown Avondale Estates. Both are signs of ground-floor retail catching up to the housing that has already landed.

What to watch

Brookhaven Council Approves Rezoning for 320 Apartments at Ashford Green

Today's new pointer (Hoodline, 2026-08-27, headline 'Brookhaven Approves 320 Apartments at Ashford Green Office Park Near I-285') traces to the same underlying event Urban OS already verified earlier today from the city's Aug. 25 council wrap-up and the case's Letter of Intent: the Brookhaven City Council voted 3-0 (Diaz, Funny, Sen; Simmons absent) on August 25, 2026 to approve ORDRZ 2026-08-01 -- rezoning case LUP26-00001 and companion special land use permit LUP26-00002 -- for the 14.24-acre Ashford Green office site at 4170 Ashford Dunwoody Road, clearing the way for up to 320 apartments and a small restaurant village alongside the site's existing office building, just south of I-285.
