Live the Southern summer porch life, socializing, sipping cold cocktails and brews, and eating with your fingers. Toe-tapping to live music stirs breezes, and tantalizing aromas waft over from the Big Green Egg where dinner specials are grilling their way to your plate. In Virginia-Highland, the Atkins Park Restaurant & Bar Summer Kickoff Porch Party on Wednesday, June 21 promises all of these delights plus cocktails from Cutwater and ice-cold Sierra Nevada brews. Party officially starts at 8 p.m., but no one says you have to wait ‘til 8 to park it on the porch.
