The kids are in school, and spring break is still a couple of months away, but there’s a way for parents to travel without having to pack their bags.

Winter Chalet on the Green by Citizens Market, located in the heart of Buckhead, is a way to mix exclusivity and outdoor dining. The chalet bubble zips open and inside are four chairs, comfy blankets, small tables, and, on one Friday night, a board game to play.

The express purpose of the chalets is to get away without having to go far. Starting on Feb. 1 and running through Feb. 25, the chalets are available to book for a $50 rental fee on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. There is a $100 per person (with a minimum of two people per reservation) cost, but a 90-minute reservation includes food, drinks, and most uniquely a private dinner despite being stationed outside of Citizens Market and next door to the Nobu Hotel Atlanta, one of the city’s newest luxury hotels. 

The menu inside the chalet includes a choice of a bottle of wine (Veuve Clicquot, Orin Swift Abstract, or Davis Bynum Chardonnay) or a carafe of a cocktail. There are also non-alcoholic options available upon request. On Friday night the meal began with a cheese and charcuterie board, including jams, nuts, and peppers. The servings are portioned according to the number of guests in a party. 

Following the opening course a Just Krispy Rice Box, a combination of spicy tuna, yellow tail, salmon, and truffle avocado sushis, was served. Along with the sushi, shrimp tempura and four (two per person) umami beef sliders were served.

The menu of the vast food options inside Citizens Market is also available to order, including Sam’s Crispy Chicken,…
