Founded by French pastry chef Henri Fiscus, Henri\u2019s Bakery<\/a> first opened its doors in 1929 at the corner of Peachtree and 10th<\/sup> Streets. While the Atlanta institution has moved quite a few times over those 90 years and has expanded to include satellite locations in Sandy Springs and Upper Westside, one thing has remained consistent: the impeccable quality of Henri\u2019s reasonably priced menu of po\u2019boy sandwiches, cookies, \u00e9clairs, and other sweets. Today, the majority of Henri\u2019s offerings are still made from Fiscus\u2019 original recipes, passed down from generation to generation. cakes<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cKeeping Henri\u2019s in the family has allowed us to maintain the same exacting standards and passion that Henri himself put into everything he made,\u201d says Fiscus\u2019 great-grandson (and current owner) Anthony DiNardo, who runs the family business with his sisters Kim MacBain and Ashlyn DiNardo. \u201cThat extends to his love of his community. We\u2019re very proud and grateful to be able to serve the people of Atlanta, and I hope Henri\u2019s continues to do so for another 90 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, Atlanta landmark Johnny\u2019s Hideaway<\/a> celebrates its 40th birthday in April. The popular Buckhead dance club and restaurant is marking the occasion by staying true to its roots, offering the same unpretentious good time that loyal over-40 regulars and younger bar hoppers have grown to love. That means a reliably enjoyable mix of popular music from every decade, a warm, inviting vibe reminiscent of \u201cCheers\u201d and a sturdy menu of late-night favorites. And, of course, there\u2019s the staff, some of whom have been with the club for more than 30 years and feel like family members to many longtime patrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur guests feel at home here because we don\u2019t put on airs or try to chase the newest trend,\u201d says owner Chris D\u2019Auria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s that down-to-earth attitude that has drawn the attention of actors, athletes and other celebrities, and landed the nightspot in films like \u201cHall Pass,\u201d \u201cThe Front Runner\u201d and \u201cDen of Thieves.\u201d \u201cPeople like that we treat them the same no matter who they are. We just want everyone to feel good and have a great time. They keep coming back, so I guess we\u2019re doing something right,\u201d D\u2019Auria adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Johnny\u2019s isn\u2019t the only Atlanta institution turning 40 this year. Taco Mac<\/a> enters its fifth decade as the city\u2019s undisputed go-to spot for the Southeast\u2019s Original Buffalo wings and a welcoming place to relax with friends and watch a game on multiple HD TVs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since its humble beginnings in 1979, this quintessential neighborhood hangout has grown into an empire with more than 25 locations across Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina and won recognition from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution<\/em> and ESPN<\/em>, which named it one of the five best sports bars in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What keeps fans coming back? For CEO Harold Martin, Jr., the answer is simple. \u201cFor one, there\u2019s our top-notch menu of starters, salads, wings, and classic entr\u00e9es\u2014not to mention more than 100 beers on draft,\u201d he says. \u201cBut even more than that, it\u2019s the way we treat our guests. Whether it\u2019s being greeted by a friendly team member when you walk in the door or being encouraged to try new craft beers through our Brewniversity program, we strive to create a welcoming environment that everyone can enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Willy\u2019s Mexicana Grill<\/a>\u00a0got its start in Atlanta in 1995 and is always celebrating anniversaries at over 30 locations across the metro Atlanta area,\u00a0Athens, Cartersville\u00a0and\u00a0Columbus. The super-popular burrito chain\u2019s Marietta restaurant turns 20 in 2019, while both the Kennesaw and Hapeville locations will mark 15 years serving made-from-scratch burritos, nachos, tacos and salads to dedicated guests. Founder and \u201cchief burrito roller\u201d Willy Bitter doesn\u2019t take such anniversaries for granted. \u201cI\u2019m thankful every day that I get to share the food I love with the community I love,\u201d says Bitter, who created his namesake restaurant after falling in love with California-style burritos in San Francisco. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs long as we keep using the freshest, best ingredients and making our delicious food right in front of the customer, I\u2019m hopeful that we\u2019ll get to keep on serving our guests for another 20+ years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those aren\u2019t the only Atlanta favorites celebrating milestones this year. Three of the city\u2019s most notable spots are each observing their 10-year anniversaries in 2019:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Antico Pizza Napoletana<\/a> is a mandatory visit for pizza lovers thanks to Giovanni DiPalma\u2019s wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas. Today, Antico anchors Little Italia, a Westside hub of Italian food and culture featuring Gio\u2019s Chicken Amalfitano, Caffe and Bar Amalfi, and has also spawned satellite locations at Avalon and The Battery at SunTrust Park.
