The Candler Park neighborhood and the Little Five Points business district share both a common border along Moreland Avenue and an interconnected bohemian history. Before being swallowed by Atlanta, Candler Park was a town called Edgewood. Today, it still retains its charming small town vibe. It's a bit like Mayberry, if Andy Taylor biked to work and Aunt Bea baked "special" brownies. Historic craftsman bungalows and smiling young families dominate the landscape. The business district of Little Five Points is Candler Park's younger, counter-culture cousin. Although dotted with head shops and curious teenagers, newer businesses like the Wrecking Bar Brewpub are decidedly more grown-up in nature, a possible sign of changes to come.
Part restaurant, part dive bar, you’ll either love or hate Elmyr. The generously-sized burritos range from a deliciously simple beans and rice, to unique interpretations like the "Brunswick Burrito" (stuffed with smoked pork, corn and potatoes). It might be the pitcher of margaritas talking, but there’s something about the ooey-gooey Monterey jack cheese that makes the burritos and quesadillas special here. Elmyr is a smoking establishment, so leave the kiddies at home.
