Atlanta Magazine Atlanta Magazine is the city’s premier general interest publication. Atlanta magazine is the city's premier general interest publication.

Since 1961, Atlanta magazine has served as the authority on Atlanta, providing its readers with a mix of long-form nonfiction, lively lifestyle coverage, in-depth service journalism, and literary essays, columns, and profiles. The city's only general-interest magazine, Atlanta is recognized regionally and nationally for journalism and design excellence, with more than 300 regional and national awa

rds. The magazine was founded in 1961 by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, but from its inception it was much more than a promotion piece for its namesake city. Founding editor Jim Townsend, described by Time as "the father of city magazines," set the standard from day one with cutting-edge design, powerful graphics, and investigative and creative articles by some of the emerging talents of the 1960s. The magazine's pages carried work by Anne Rivers Siddons, Bill Diehl, and others who would go on to be hugely successful novelists, under the art direction of Bob Daniels, who later left to serve as art director of Esquire. Over the decades, the legacy of excellence has continued, with noted magazine writers such as Tom Junod, Luke Dittrich, Justin Heckert, and Paige Williams on staff, and contributors ranging from novelists such as Pat Conroy and Terry Kay to noted nonfiction authors such as Melissa Fay Greene and Steve Oney. The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce sold the magazine in the 1970s. After a series of ownership changes during which the content and design continued to evolve, Emmis Publishing bought the magazine in 1993. Emmis also owns Texas Monthly, Indianapolis Monthly, Cincinnati magazine, Orange Coast, and Los Angeles magazine. Emmis Publishing is a division of Emmis Communications (NASDQ: EMMS), an Indianapolis-based diversified media firm.

With a few days left of dry January...here are some local bars with creative booze-free cocktails.

Go to any establishment with a progressive bar program in Atlanta these days, and you’ll find drink options with little to no alcohol—“low ABV,” “nonalcoholic,” “zero-proof,” or “0 ABV”—these sober offerings now bookend their boozy counterparts.

What do Beyoncé, Paris Hilton, LeBron James, Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart have in common? They all own hats by Atlantan James Keith.

James Keith wanted to wear a fedora with his outfit for New Year’s Eve 2015, but he couldn’t find one that quite fit the bill. A year after he conceived his design, he finally got the hat he wanted on his head. On the back of that one fateful night—and hat—he founded his brand, Keith James.

His new spot in Ponce City Market may be surrounded by spendy shops, but his passion, mission, and the occasional guest flamenco dancer make you feel as if you’ve strolled in from the streets of Barcelona or Madrid, and less as if you’ve just...

Rest in peace, Nathalie Dupree. Here's a vintage article about our former cooking columnist.

Nathalie’s world, viewed from great distance, sometimes takes on an illusionary quality, like the blue serenity of Earth to the eye of an orbiting astronaut: a warm and cozy world of roasting chickens and fresh-baked bread, strains of Mozart filtering softly from her stereo, begonias and herbs ove...
