Tickled Pink Down the Hatch After more than 40 years of delighting diners from Buckhead to far beyond, Dante’s Down the Hatch is closing the doors. Atlanta’s iconic restaurant – known for its fondue, live jazz and nautical décor (complete with live croc) – will serve its last meal on June 30. With a loyal patronage engendered by charismatic owner Dante Stephensen, the beloved hotspot will be replaced by something not quite so unique: a luxury apartment tower.
With a second location just opened at Phipps Plaza, the Pink Pastry Parlor promises sweets aplenty for girls of all ages, from fun baking classes to fabulous princess parties (complete with a romp through the Pink Pillow Fight Room, Spa Room, Runway Room and Tea and Cupcakes Room). The upscale bakery offers homemade cupcakes, brownies and cookies daily. pinkpastryphipps.com
