Ink & Elm Tavern Coming to Emory Village
Decatur Metro | September 19, 2012Louis points out that there’s info floating around the interwebs that a new tavern is coming to Emory Village next year. Here’s a blurb from a PR site about the new spot, “Ink & Elm”…
Ink & Elm: Located in Emory Village, Ink & Elm is a 7,000 square foot tavern, lounge and dining room that celebrates the deep history of Atlanta’s Druid Hills neighborhood, including Frederick Law Olmsted, the neighborhood’s designer who is also behind NYC’s Central Park and the neighborhood’s Olmsted Linear Park. The location provides the perfect spot for Druid Hills’ residents as well as Emory faculty and students to gather, socialize and dine. The dark and cozy design for the tavern is loosely based on a turn of the century landscape design studio, while the dining room takes into account Olmsted’s approach toward garden and landscape design with a light and airy mood. Ink & Elm is expected to open early next year.
Urbanspoon and Yelp have the address as 1577 N. Decatur Road, which puts it down near the Panara/CVS end of Emory Village.

DeKalb County Restricting Parking in Emory Village
Decatur Metro | November 15, 2011The AJC reports that DeKalb County is implementing 1-hour parking in Emory Village in an effort to attract more visitors to the area. According to the AJC…
The county will restrict parking to one hour from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays on North Decatur and Oxford roads near the commercial strip. Signs detailing the change will be up soon.
This seems like a good move, since parking is such a commodity around Emory. (ALL neighborhood parking in the area is resident only these days and Emory’s parking decks cost students an arm – and perhaps a leg – each semester.)
Thanks to Steve for pointing this out!
Report: More Pizza Coming To Emory Village
Decatur Metro | October 10, 2011Tomorrow’s News Today reports that Romeo’s New York Pizza will share the old Druid Hills Bookstore space in Emory Village with Chipolte.
According to their John’s Creek location website…
Romeo’s pizza in John’s Creek is not one of those pizza joints who lures you in by claiming to have authentic NY pizza and then you quickly find out it’s not even in the same ballpark. Romeo’s has been making authentic NY pizza since 1945. Born and raised in Paterson, NJ
No soggy crusted pizza or watered down pizza sauce. Everything we do is fresh and completely from scratch. Romeo’s uses the finest cheese and makes all there dough in house.
