7 days of food and drink events in Atlanta: Sept. 9-15

Labor Day has come and gone, but it's still summer, so there's plenty of time to get your BBQ, low country boil and rosé on before the weather turns. While you're at it, eat some wings for charity, or explore a new restaurant in Midtown as Midtown Restaurant Week winds down. Overindulge in all of the above? Juice Bar has you covered.
