Our Story
Come visit us at Hosea + 2nd, where we are transforming the intersection of Atlanta’s East Lake, Oakhurst, and Kirkwood neighborhoods into a destination for local, independent restaurants and other unique offerings.
Hosea + 2nd is the realization of a shared vision to restore one of Atlanta’s original street car suburbs into a thriving, walkable, diverse community. We are located around the corner from the historic East Lake Golf Club and a short distance from downtown Atlanta and Decatur.
Once home to golf legend Bobby Jones and civil rights leader Hosea Williams, East Lake saw its share of hard times, but is now regarded as a national model for community revitalization.
As the newest members of the East Lake community, we are committed to intown living. We believe in supporting local businesses. We care about good, thoughtful design. We also have more fun fixing up old buildings than tearing them down. If you’re like us, we think you’ll enjoy visiting Hosea + 2nd and grabbing a bite or a drink (or both!) at Greater Good BBQ, Poor Hendrix, Mix’D Up Burgers, and (soon to open) Mary Hoopas.
Hosea + 2nd was recently recognized by the Atlanta Urban Design Commission with an Award of Excellence. And the project was a 2017 finalist for an American Institute of Architects (Georgia) design and honor award for renovation/restoration.
With two corners of the Hosea + 2nd intersection complete, work has begun on a third corner and we look forward to announcing even more offerings to serve the communities around us.
