The first five tenants for Ponce City Market (675 Ponce de Leon Ave.) have been announced (H/T to Eater). Joining the enormous Old Fourth Ward destination once it opens in late 2014 will be staggered openings at the Central Food Hall. Currently, these include the following: Anne Quatrano’s Dub’s Fish Camp, Linton Hopkins’ H&F Burger, frozen treats from Honeysuckle Gelato, Korean cuisine from Simply Seoul Kitchen, and Szechuan-inspired eats from Jia - a collaboration between Tasty China and Tasty China II chefs Dahe Yang and Jiguo Jiang. Not yet confirmed are New York-based creperie Bar Suzette and an unnamed wood-fired pizza joint.

Vintage Frozen Yogurt has opened its new brick-and-mortar outpost on the Westside at 1021 Howell Mill Road, the former home to LeRoy’s Fried Chicken, Curly’s Fried Chicken, and, most recently, Ben’s Brown Bag. Visitors can try favorites from the popular Atlanta food trucks such as Coffee Toffee, Cookie Crumble, and Blueberry Cobbler, plus sparkle floats and other premium toppings.

Edgewood Pizza has announced updates on its plans to resurrect the Old Fourth Ward late-night staple, which suffered extensive damages from a fire in August. Having just signed a long-term lease on the space at 478 Edgewood Avenue, the owners are now working with a new architect and contractor, with plans to start reviving the eatery immediately.

Atlanta craft brewery Orpheus Brewing is on track to open next to Piedmont Park this spring, in a BeltLine-adjacent industrial space at 1440 Dutch Valley Place. Touting an unusually robust list of saisons and sours, plus plenty of hoppy options, the Morningside destination will offer several beers unique to the Southeast.

Speaking of beer, Tomorrow’s News Today reports that Tampa-based World of Beer will soon open a location in Midtown at 855 Peachtree St. The beer bar will offer more than 500 tapped, canned, and bottled options sourced from 40 countries around the world. A second metro location will follow in Kennesaw later in the year. Details as they arise.

James Beard Award-winning Athens/Atlanta chef Hugh Acheson recently dished on his forthcoming Savannah restaurant, the Florence. The Italian eatery at 1 West Victory Drive, which he hopes to open in May, will fuse locally sourced Southern ingredients with traditional Italian preparations - care of executive chef Kyle Jacovino, an alum of 5&10 and Empire State South.
