New farmers market opening on the Northside
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Roswell gets a farmers market on Saturday, with the opening of the Riverside Farmers Market in Riverside Park. Organizers expect seven farmers for the first market, as well as vendors selling coffee, baked goods and other items.
If you live in Roswell, you probably know this park: It’s got two gigantic playgrounds, one each for younger and older kids, with plenty of parking and a nice location on the Chattahoochee. It’s at 575 Riverside Road, not far from where Highway 9 crosses the Chattahoochee and Sandy Springs gives way to Roswell.
Hours are 8:30 a.m. to noon, and the market will be open on Saturdays through Oct. 25.
The market restricts growers to those who produce within 100 miles of Roswell.

Is Maxim Prime?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I DON’T DIG THE DIGS at Maxim Prime, downtown. Do you?

In today’s Living section I take a look at Jeffrey Chodorow’s first Atlanta restaurant, Maxim Prime. Read the story here
Chodorow obviously relies on a lot of stun factor in many of his restaurants — Kobe Club in NYC is dripping with samurai swords from the ceiling and has a dark, brooding ambience. But the whole of it is so childish that it seems like the restaurant is throwing a temper tantrum.
The same thing goes for Maxim Prime, though the food, executed by local chef Daniel Zoby, is quite good.
I hate this sort of decor in a restaurant — it’s garish, loud and cheap looking to me. But since Chodorow is opening up to 25 more Maxims in the next two years, somebody somewhere must like his style.
Have you been to Maxim Prime or Kobe Club? Did you like the digs or not?
