Downtown neighbor David
Sweeney's eatery, Dynamic Dish was featured in a recent Maria Sapporta AJC article
about his location, the site of Atlanta's first LEED certified Platinum
building. This is a really big deal and
if that wasn't enough, his food is really good. Open between 11am to 4pm Monday through Friday you have to be
proactive if you have a 9-5 job, but the visit is worth it. Hours will be expanded in October with
evening hours on the horizon. Featuring
organic, slow foods from local growers, David's always got something
interesting.
