Necessary Purveyor
639 Glen Iris Dr NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30308
Old Fourth Ward
Necessary Purveyor joins the wave of Miami-born restaurants (Rosetta Bakery and Mister 01) coming to the A. This restaurant and gourmet market sits on the ground floor of Scout Living near Ponce City Market. Their menu is doing a lot. There's lighter bites like sandwiches, breakfast options like omelettes and pancakes, and heftier dinnertime dishes like oysters, crudo, and ribeye. Oh, and there's a full cafe too, so we have yet another place to grab a strawberry matcha latte.
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream
675 Ponce De Leon NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30308
Ice Cream
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream brings its dairy and vegan scoops to Ponce City Market with flavors like strawberry matcha latte and dulce de leche caramel truffle (hopefully they keep their mac and cheese-flavored ice cream back at the Brooklyn headquarters).
