From viewing art to hearing favorite performers and savoring the culinary scene, summer is a celebration of the senses.

BY KAREN LOPEZ AND LIESL MERKEL

“Cyclorama: The Big Picture” features The Battle of Atlanta as depicted in a restored panorama painting at Atlanta History Center

CYCLORAMA: THE BIG PICTURE Before IMAX theaters and even before film, cycloramas were a form of entertainment in the late 19th century, giving a visual story through a 360-degree painting. Now, one of America’s largest historical treasures is safely preserved at Atlanta History Center. The 132-year-old cyclorama painting entitled “The Battle of Atlanta” is the centerpiece of the new interactive experience called “Cyclorama: The Big Picture.” This circular, hand painted work towers 49 feet tall and engulfs visitors into the 1864 American Civil War battle. The Atlanta History Center team has restored the painting to its original glory, including re-creating three missing panels, cleaning

the painting and re-fashioning the 120-foot diorama landscape that houses 128 restored plaster Civil War soldier figures. The exhibition takes visitors through the history of the painting, from its creation by German artists for a Northern and Midwestern audience depicting the Union victory to its journey to Atlanta, modified to appease a more southern audience and billed as “the only Confederate victory ever painted.” Interactive media and a short film will be used to steer “Cyclorama: The Big Picture” into a larger conversation of how perceptions, memory and interpretations can shape the big picture of our past, present and future. www.atlantahistorycenter.com

ATLANTA JAZZ FESTIVAL It’s music to your ears when the 42nd Atlanta Jazz Festival – the longest-running free jazz festival in the U.S. – returns to Piedmont Park over Memorial Day weekend, May 25-26.

Inside the 11th century-designed Castle, you’ll witness battles of steel, but also ornately adorned horses performing the art of dressage, and the flight of the Royal Falcon.

The queen amply provides sustenance for her guests with a three-course feast that includes piping hot Dragon’s Blood (tomato soup) and hearty portions of chicken, steaming sides and a tempting dessert of the day. Audience members are seated in different sections and are encouraged to cheer for their particular knight.

Here’s where to get your fix of both in Atlanta.

BY LAURA SCHOLZ

FOX BROS. BBQ The self-taught Fox brothers--Texas natives Jonathan and Justin Fox--got their start in catering, eventually opening a brick-andmortar location in Candler Park. Residents and visitors line up for hickory smoked jumbo wings, St. Louis style ribs and plates of meat like beef brisket and pulled pork, which come with two slices of white bread and a choice of two sides like tater tots, Frito pie, cole slaw and fried okra. www.foxbrosbbq.com

DAS BBQ Get beef brisket and pulled pork by the pound or half pound, plus sausages, whole and half rack ribs, sliced turkey and chicken wings at this Westside smokehouse. Plates come with both meat-centric sides like pinto beans with beef brisket and Brunswick stew with pork as well as veggie-friendly options like collard greens, elote cream corn and vinegar-style coleslaw. Feeding little ones?

There’s no need to choose between beer and barbecue at this Virginia-Highland spot, which includes a full bar and 18 taps of locally crafted beer from producers like Monday Night Brewing. The menu is robust, with everything from snacks like boiled peanuts and fried pickles to burgers, sandwiches, seven different styles of wings, and the main event: the smokehouse plates. Go classic with pulled pork or try the slice house-cured pastrami. Dining with a group? The whole house platter includes St. Louis ribs, brisket,

The family friendly restaurant also offers a Family Pack and Party Pack. Looking for a lighter option? The smokehouse turkey salad is the best of both worlds--smoked meats on a spring mix with cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese, onions and cranberries. www.citybbq.com

SMOKE RING The eclectic, industrial neighborhood of Castleberry Hill just east of Downtown boasts some of the city’s best barbeque. The standout sandwiches like the Show Stopper with pulled pork, bacon, pimento cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion marmalade and sweet barbecue sauce are also available on gluten free buns. An assortment of smoked wings and sauces, plates with pork belly and sliced brisket, and baby back ribs, Southern style sides and shareable starters like nachos and deviled eggs round out the menu. www.smokeringatlanta.com

Shop Outside with this Insider Guide Take a stroll through a few of our favorite outdoor shopping areas while you’re here, and – bonus – if you’re in Atlanta in early June, you should know about three pop-up shopping experiences.

BY CAROL CARTER

ATLANTIC STATION All your favorite shops are here: PINK by Victoria’s Secret, plus, yes, Victoria’s Secret, IKEA, Banana Republic, Bath & Body Works and that’s just a few. Atlantic Station is like a small town right in the middle of the city.

People live, dine and see movies there.

Sports fans should know that the official stores for both the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons and MLS’s Atlanta United FC are right there.

Oh, and the Tervis store carries Atlanta United products, too.

Location: 1380 Atlantic Drive NW. Find it just off 17th Street, west of the I-75/85 Connector www.atlanticstation.com

SHOPS AROUND LENOX This small outdoor center sits in the heart of Buckhead, right next door to Lenox Square and just a quick block away from Phipps Plaza. Parking is free, and there are restaurants so that you can replenish if needed. Two home furnishing stores that beckon are West Elm and Crate & Barrel.

After you have furnished your home, stop in at Ona Atlanta for spa products, perfect for a few gifts to take back home. If it’s stylish clothes you need, visit fab’rik for dresses, shoes and accessories.

Location: 3400 Around Lenox Road, just off Peachtree Street in Buckhead www.shopsaroundlenox.com

THE OUTLET SHOPPES OF ATLANTA Just north of Atlanta on Interstate 575 sits the Outlet Shoppes, home to American Eagle Outfitters, an Ann Taylor factory store, a Bass outlet, Carter’s for babies and kids – and much more. Brand new at Outlet Shoppes is a just-passed ordinance which allows visitors to sip and shop. That means you can grab

a margarita to go from De Allende Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar and window shop as you sip.

Location: 915 Ridgewalk Parkway in Woodstock, just off I-575 a few miles north of Atlanta www.theoutletshoppesatlanta.com

WESTSIDE PROVISIONS DISTRICT Atlanta’s Westside became popular decades ago for massive warehouses full of consumer goods. More recently, the Westside joined the city’s love for all things trendy with the advent of Westside Provisions District. Among the shops waiting to be discovered is Hudson Grace, which stocks products for the home including tabletop necessities, linens, pantry staples and even vintage treasures such as six antique French place card holders.

Shops here include Billy Reid and Brick + Mortar, where there are unique vintage pieces plus candles.

Location: 1198 Howell Mill Road, where else but the Westside www.westsideprovisions.com

SHOPPING

ATLANTIC STATION

SWAN COACH HOUSE GIFT SHOP Although not an outdoor shopping destination, this gem is located on the grounds of Atlanta History Center, and you can indeed stroll outdoors through the beautiful wooded gardens to get there.

Well-known to Atlanta shoppers and located in a charming historical building, the Swan Coach House is a popular dining destination as well as a beautiful venue for special events. Also on the premises are a wellcurated gift shop and a cutting edge art gallery. In the gift shop, find home décor, women’s apparel, merchandise for men, seasonal gifts and jewelry. If it’s one-of-a-kind gifts you seek, be sure to look for items in the Swan’s Nest, where you’ll find Limoges boxes with swans on top, swan ornaments and swan place cards and notecards. If you go for lunch, which we highly recommend, we suggest the crab cakes.

Location: 3130 Slaton Drive NW, just off West Paces Ferry Road in Buckhead www.swancoachhouse.com

SHOPPING

Local Shopping If you’re looking for good local shopping, here are some of our favorite spots.

The Merchant: After it opened on Howell Mill Road in the city’s growing Westside, it was so popular that it opened additional stores at Krog Street Market and Lenox Square. You can find anything from greeting cards and stationery to books, bedding and one-of-a-kind vintage items. Our favorite

is the dish with the ATL skyline encircling the bowl.

Krog Street Market: In addition to The Merchant, there’s plenty more to do at this popular market. Try The Collective for local gourmet foods, jewelry, vintage clothing and collectibles. Another fantastic find is Mama Handmade Bath + Body, which sells an allnatural line of handmade olive oil soaps, body care products and soy candles. A must-stop is at Xocolatl Small Batch Chocolate.

Virginia-Highland: This popular neighborhood is full of charming boutiques and restaurants, and one of our favorites is Art Bath Soul, an urban bath shop and enrichment lounge that sells barrels of highly fragrant, colorful bath salts plus original paintings and prints by local and featured artists.

Ponce City Market: One of our favorite stores at Ponce City Market is Citizen Supply, which partners with more than 130 brands that produce handmade and small-batch goods and local brands. If you want Atlanta logo products, this is the place to go. Citizen Supply has an amazing array of Atlanta branded sweatshirts, T-shirts, cups, hats, flags, candles and, of course, shot glasses.

Visit the Citizen and you’ll be showing your Atlanta pride back home.

Atlanta Made: Located on Howell Mill Road on the Westside, Atlanta Made brings shopping local to a whole new level. Owner Michelle Larrabee-Martin partners with local artisans to create a gallery of unique art pieces, many of which are custom-made.

From outdoor high-end furniture to artwork, jewelry or furniture, check out Atlanta’s talented artists and craftsmen.

Atlanta Spirit Whiskey: Whipping up a variety of spirits near the Atlanta BeltLine, Atlanta Spirit Whiskey also will take you on a tour of the distillery. Among its products are Georgia’s first-ever Double Gold Whiskey, bourbon, rye, single malts, brandy and pot still whiskey. Atlanta Spirit Whiskey got its start when Jim Chasten, Charlie Thompson and Justin Manglitz developed a love of spirits at the University of Georgia. They started a distillery in Atlanta and decided to concentrate on making Spirit Whiskey, a clean whiskey that is a perfect substitute for vodka or bourbon.

MARCUS INGRAM / GETTY IMAGES FOR CANDYTOPIA

Sweet!

Get your fix at

Candytopia

It’s a bit bizarre, a whole lot amazing and, even better, it’s fun. If you like candy, then get your sugar fix without eating a bite when you visit Candytopia, a traveling exhibition filled with sculptures built from just about every kind of candy you can think of – licorice, Swedish fish, rock candy and jelly beans.

Candytopia is in Atlanta only through early June so make haste as if you’re on a sugar high to EDENS Lenox Marketplace at 3535 Peachtree Road and get an entirely new perspective on candy corn.

What to expect: See more than a dozen rooms showcasing larger-than-life interactive art installations. Promoters describe it as a marshmallowy mini-theme park.

Note that while you may not eat the candy-made sculptures, you will be treated to samples including sours and gummies, chocolate morsels and plenty more as you tour this temporary exhibit.

The Atlanta show features several of the popular sculptures from previous exhibitions as well as new attractions just for the ATL. One Candytopia Atlanta attraction is a swimming pool full of more than a half million foam marshmallows. Even better, you are invited to jump right into this pool and “splash” around. There is an underwaterthemed wonderland filled with candy-covered sea creatures; a rainbow-filled room where you will see flying unicorn pigs, confetti explosions and can chew Trolli Twisted Sour Brite gummy samples.

Atlanta-centric elements include a portrait of some of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, a sculpture that pays tribute to Ray Charles and a candy-coated Georgia peach – each made from thousands of pieces of candy.

Who did this: Candytopia is the work of Jackie Sorkin, described by promoters as a global candy artist. It was created in partnership with her co-founders Zac Hartog and retail veteran John Goodman.

Michelangelo it is not, but the sculptures are clever and creative, and, hey, who doesn’t like candy? It’s probably best to NOT invite your dentist.

BACK

50 Years of the AJC Peachtree Road Race Coming this summer, perhaps no event is as anticipated as Atlanta Track Club’s 50th Running of the AJC Peachtree Road Race July 4, with 60,000 participants from across the country and around the globe expected to take part in the world’s largest 10K. Expect $200,000 in bonus prize money to be awarded to athletes who break an event record at the 50th Running, paired with a prize purse totaling $140,000.

It all starts in Buckhead at Lenox Square, with the 6.2-mile race winding down Peachtree Street before ending at Midtown’s Piedmont Park with a post-race celebration with music and snacks.

54

ATLANTA.NET

Spectators, take note: Crowds love to line the parade route to cheer on runners, and many have made it a tradition every year with special refreshments and run-day cocktails.

If you want to join in the fun, stake your claim early. At the Cathedral of St. Phillip, Dean Sam Candler sprinkles the runners with holy water, and further down, runners conquer Cardiac Hill, right in front of Piedmont Hospital, usually with music playing to inspire the runners. Many restaurants lining the route open early with special race day deals.
