Party At Ponce Returns

What was once an amusement park called “the Coney Island of Atlanta,” and the original home to the “Atlanta Crackers” baseball team, has been transformed into the mixed-use, urban “destination” known as Ponce City Market. Jamestown Properties has made unprecedented progress in the historic rehabilitation of the 2.1 million square-foot property that was Atlanta’s first Sears retail store (which later became Atlanta City Hall East in 1991.)

Returning after four years, Party At Ponce was held on Saturday to celebrate the opening of the first venues in the hip intown market. Guests enjoyed private access to the property’s curated retail selection, which includes Anthropologie, Williams-Sonoma and West Elm. In addition, James Beard Award winning and nominated chefs Anne Quatrano, Linton Hopkins, Sean Brock, and Hector Santiago were on hand to share tastings from their new restaurants located in the market. Restaurant bites featured at the party were:
  • Dubs Fish Camp – Roasted Oysters with Brown Butter and Corn Fritters
  • Minero – Charcoal Grilled Chicken Wings doused with Valentina Sauce
  • Hop's Chicken – Fried Chicken Wings with Frim Fram Sauce
  • Biltong Bar – Naturally-cured, Air-dried Biltong (Beef Jerky) with South African Spices
  • Jia Sichuan – Spicy Noodles with Chopped Scallions and Roasted Peanuts
  • El Super Pan -  Serrano Ham, Manchego, Almond-Date Spread, Arugula, And Piquillo Pepper Agridulce On Spanish Foccacia
  • Simply Seoul Kitchen – Spicy Korean Pork Bulgogi Rice, Shishito leaf and White Radish Kimchi
  • Honeysuckle Gelato - Maple Gelato with Blueberry Syrup and Graham Cracker Crust Wedge
  • Brezza Cucina – Kale Salad with Anchovy Dressing and Mollica
  • Boti Indian Street Grill – Lamb Kofta, Chaat Slaw, Caramelized Dates and Mint Chutney
  • Farm to Ladle – Tomato Basil Chocolate Chip Cookie Bisque
And to cap off the evening, Atlanta’s most popular folk rock duo, the Indigo Girls, and singer-songwriter Shawn Mullins once again took the stage eclipsing their previous performances along with singer-songwriter David Ryan Harris for a series of rockin’ performances under the glow of the big neon sign.
