  • New, Williamsburg-inspired gastropub MOTHER should open within the week in the Old Fourth Ward.



Beep Beep Gallery's Mark Basehore and James McConnell have joined forces with two Brooklynites to open MOTHER, a new gastropub at 447 Edgewood Ave. Working with artist Matt Relkin and The Woods restaurateur Jason Radich, Basehore and McConnell have transformed a 130-year-old brownstone down the street from Sister Louisa's Church into a spacious bar and restaurant complete with patio seating. The buildout is nearly complete, and should be polished up in time for an opening some time this week.

King of Pops is planning to set up shop on the Atlanta Beltline. The Carse brothers' brick-and-mortar pop shop is currently under construction, but making hasty headway.

Meanwhile, Yumbii owner Carson Young is also eyeing Beltline real estate. Young hopes to eventually open a shipping-container café along the Beltline, and says the off-the-beaten-path location is ideal for the humble outpost. For now, Young has his sights set on 10th & Peachtree, and has released these enticing renderings of the future restaurant where Yumbii will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Carver's Country Kitchen will not close at the end of the month, as previously reported. Owner Sharon Carver plans to resurrect her Southern meat-and-two one block from Carver's current location in October.

Kitsch'n 155 closed its doors for good on March 9, citing an offer for the owner to work at another family business as the cause.

Perla Taqueria plans to open a sister restaurant, Cous Cous, at 560 Dutch Valley Road. We're expecting a more casual ambience than its predecessors, Allegro and Amuse!, plus savory Mediterranean cuisine geared toward the lunch crowd.
