Located about three miles east of downtown, Edgewood is bordered by Kirkwood to the east, Reynoldstown to the west, Candler Park to the north, and East Atlanta to the south. The community was developed around the turn of the 20th century as a response to economic boom, population growth, and a dramatic increase in the number of people working in the city. Located outside of the congestion downtown, Edgewood was geared towards blue collar workers that developed the land and built their craftsman-style homes there. Today, the neighborhood is marked by a booming commercial area, charming streets lined with modest homes diverse in character, and an admirably eco-concious creative community invested in coming together to make Edgewood one of Atlanta’s finest places to establish roots.
This neighborhood favorite is part wine shop, pantry, deli, bakery and rotisserie.
Falling along the boundary of the Edgewood, Candler Park, and Inman Park communities lies Chef Robert Phalen’s intimate and refined American eatery, One Eared Stag, and we’d be remiss not to include it on a “must eat in Atlanta” list. The unassuming neighborhood bistro features cutting-edge cuisine and full bar highlighting innovative mixologist know-how. The menu, which changes daily, wows diners with sustainably-raised proteins and local, seasonal produce. While you’ll certainly notice a bevy of meat-centric dishes, the vegetarian and vegan-friendly options are not to be overlooked. That said, don’t miss “The Meatstick,” a popular constant on the menu: a double-stack burger made with bacon-infused, 100% chuck patties topped with American cheese, shaved white onion, and house-made bread & butter pickles.
