Blu Cantina opening seems imminent in East Atlanta
It seems the opening of East Atlanta Village’s latest restaurant could be any day now. Blu Cantina, which takes over the now closed Tomatillos space on Glenwood Avenue, teased followers with their (re)opening on Facebook. The building is getting a bit of a refresh; including a new paint job. Blu Cantina suddenly closed last summer in Castleberry Hill after the roof collapsed following heavy rain. [Facebook]

The couple closed the second outpost of The Spotted Trotter and their restaurant Cockentrice at Krog Street Market in 2016. [WNA]
