I stumbled upon Hawkins & Clover and was amazed at all the unique gift items in the store. The woman working there was very helpful and was happy to explain all the items.

The Merchant is a home goods gift store carrying a number of thoughtfully curated specialty…read moreproducts. Located at the Krog Street Market, the interior aesthetic reads industrial storehouse meets white-washed farm living room. Exposed high ceilings painted black with spotlights, hanging 60s style vintage lamps, a lacquered wooden canoe suspended mid-air and a large lightbulb arrow sign add a quirky vibe. Products include kitchen gadgets and serving ware (hand towels, plates, bowls, measuring cups, cocktail accessories, glasses, handsoap), books (travel, art, history, food/recipe, coffee table), Georgia-related souvenirs and packaged food gifts (candies and chocolate, cookies, puzzles, etc), gifting paper (like cards, gift wrap, gift bags), candles and home decor items (wall art, prints, bookends), and some seasonal holiday items that fall into above categories. They carry Lucia candles which are one of my favorite candle makers in terms of elegant home fragrances, though I only saw their seasonal fir/evergreen scent which unfortunately wasn't a love. Price range falls into the higher end so not an everyday shopping kinda place, though I'd recommend for an occasional treat or place to buy a nice souvenir. Staff seemed helpful and able to provide recommendations. Parking is available street side in the neighborhood.

I had a house coffee and a locally made pastry with Gruyère and sesame seeds. Simply delicious! Sometimes this sort of pastry is dry and flakes everywhere but not this one! So cheesy but also flaky but also tender- oh my! Made for Reynolds by Alon's Bakery. While sitting in the cafe area there were multiple people who came in, with and without pups, each who was greeted as you might an old friend. I'll be in the area for a few more days and will be back!

This shop is in Reynoldstown on Pearl, you shouldn't' have a problem finding street parking, it's in a residential neighborhood. It is a tiny shop but the owners have made great use of the space. There is a small coffee area, and also items from Atlanta's designers, makers, and artist. Perfect place to shop for a gift! I had an Irish matcha latte served by two friendly young ladies. Make sure you get a coffee loyalty card. There are a few chairs inside if you want to stay and enjoy your coffee.   There are so many cool gifts inside. I viewed, jewelry, candles, soap dishes, body products and all reasonably priced. You can check out their items on their website and make sure you follow them on social media for updates.

The manager Mari was so sweet and greeted us with an introduction of how the shop included displays curated by the featured creators. There were so many beautiful gifts from jewelry to art to housewares. There were some very cute dresses I would have loved to buy, though sadly they only went up to XL. Complimentary gift wrapping was offered too. We all walked out with something! Beehive was so cute and welcoming. If I were a local, I'd definitely be checking out the art classes offered.

I've spent quite a few weekends there taking everything from sewing and flower arranging to candle making, and every single class has been a joyful experience. There's something refreshing about stepping away from a screen and actually making something with your hands. The boutique side is just as great--it's packed with unique, high-quality gifts from local makers, so you're always finding something one-of-a-kind. Plus, they give you 20% off any purchases on the day you take a class, which makes it nearly impossible to leave empty-handed. If you're looking for a new hobby or just want to support the local creative scene, you really can't beat the vibe here.

Due to health reasons, I needed to find a nail salon that offers a clean and safe environment and…read moreLark & Sparrow delivered just that! There's tons of street parking available. I did make an appointment a few weeks ago because my schedule wasn't super flexible. My technician who did a manicure and pedicure was Dejah and she was lovely. She took time cleaning and filing each nail meticulously. I did get an express manicure and a nourishing pedicure with gel polish - both services cost around $135, but I thought it was well worth the money for the professionalism and detail that the technician offered. Since I didn't have cash for tip, I was able to leave a tip via Venmo. PS: they have drinks you can purchase. You can also order coffee from Green Beans (two doors done) that they will deliver to you!

I like that you can add a quiet add on to your appointment so your technician knows you're not interested in talking but want to relax. They have a wide variety of nail polish and the polish will typically last for a few weeks with no chipping. Prices are reasonable for the service you receive. All technicians have provided excellent service and are detailed and complete quality work. There is also a coffee shop next door so arrive to your appointments a few minutes early to get your Favorite beverage.

Since I knew I had time to kill on a Sunday before my appointments, I decided to pop in and shop a bit. First, know that the parking lot is SMALLLLL. I used to live in the neighborhood so I should have known better but, sheesh. I arrived around 10:45am, only minutes after they opened and there were at least a dozen people in line and every parking space was taken. I love that for the biz though! I ended up parking in the lot across the street and walking over. I think I stood in line for less than 20 minutes, it wasn't too bad and the weather was great so it was a breeze. The staff was welcoming in guests in small groups, so I figured it was tight in there but whoo! It was an intimate space, definitely boutique-style. We weren't packed in like sardines but luckily, patience and politeness kept the flow going. Items were beautifully laid out and presented on various tables. Earrings, brooches, bracelets, rings, etc. There were different metals, gemstones and more available, all lovely pieces of vintage items for sale. Prices varied, with most items being over $18. I liked the variety! I wish there was even more, but liked that it wasn't packed with too many items, you could see that each was handpicked and sourced with love. I ended up leaving with a dainty gold/silver watch, two David Yurman-esque rings, and a beautiful gold bracelet. At a total of $89, I think I made out quite well. I definitely plan to go back for another pop-up and see how I make out.

So I went to the marketplace for something specific but I ended up walking around. It was a really…read moregood time overall because there's so much to see. If you want to do some shopping for some food or maybe just some shopping for a bite to eat, then this is your spot. You'll come into the market but you have to worry about parking because it's not free but if you're in the city you already know that. They have a validation for parking system there so you can make sure you use that, which is right by the door. There's also other places to park, which is street parking, that you could use your park mobile app as well if you'd prefer to do that or if the parking lot is full. This market has tons of items and things and anything you could think of for the most part. If you are feeling steak or Caribbean food then this is your spot to go to. If you just want some French fries or some oxtail then this is going to be a great place for it as well. There's a myriad of different stalls that you can buy food at that are ready. There's also places that you can actually buy fresh meat and seafood to cook at home. If you're trying to figure out where to go for some steaks or some oxtails or shrimp, you should check this out for sure. So overall I would say this is definitely a spot you should for sure try if you're trying to try some new dishes or if you want to buy some food to make at home. If you're trying to find something that's similar to an Asian market, for example, something off Buford Highway, this would be a good spot to check out. Picking up a couple of steaks and some shrimp is easy work for a spot like this. I actually would probably go for a holiday situation to where I was buying meat to put on the grill. If you don't want to get locked into something like Publix, this is a good spot so just keep that in mind.
