Podcast: A look at Atlanta’s changing dining scene

AJC dining editor Ligaya Figueras and dining critic Wendell Brock talk new developments.
Diners enjoy a warm Tuesday evening at Willow Bar at the Kimpton Sylvan Hotel on East Paces Ferry Road in Buckhead. The open-air bar features a winding gravel path through soft seating choices underneath a canopy of old oak and palm trees. The patio area was originally a pool and gym area for the mid-century 1950's residential structure recently reimagined as a hotel. (Chris Hunt for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
