From the Editor
Another reason why I just can’t get enough of the holidays is because there are tons of family-friendly activities to attend. First on my list is St. John United Methodist Church’s A Walk Through Bethlehem (p. 16). The thought of experiencing an interactive neighborhood nativity complete with Wise Men, a manger, and baby Jesus just warms my heart. And since giving back is a big part of the season, you’ll also find me at the Northside Methodist Preschool Holiday Gift Show (p. 30) picking up gourmet goodies and handcrafted knickknacks for the special people in my life. Proceeds from this three-day extravaganza (Nov. 9-11) will go toward the church’s preschool scholarship fund. There will also be lots of shopping at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market Holiday Market (p. 16). Here, you can support local vendors while snagging unique ornaments and more.

It’s that time of the year when I get giddy. The holiday season is upon us and I’m in the mood for food. I love gathering around the table with family and friends on Thanksgiving to share the one thing that I’m most thankful for. Dessert, duh! And for those who’ve spent this tryptophan-filled day with me, they know that I’m always forever grateful to the folks who bring the pies. So if you’re anything like me, you might want to put in your order now for the Cranberry Apple Crumble confection at Southern Baked Pie Company (p. 9). This melt-in-your-mouth treat, which is perfect for sharing, is sure to satiate your sweet tooth in more ways than one.

r. Dina Giesler and her business partner, Dr. Marianna Kovitch, alongside their all-women staff at Atlanta Smiles & Wellness,
have transformed lives one smile at a time in Buckhead for nearly two decades. Their commitment to helping those around them spills over from their practice back into the community that has given them so much. Here, we talk to Dr. Giesler about Atlanta Smiles & Wellness, giving back, family life, and her favorite places to frequent in town.
Q
WINTER 2017
I was in the process of selling my practice in Houston while living in Vinings and commuting back and forth to Houston in 1996. After two years of an extensive commute, I sold my Texas practice. At the time, my husband, a radiation oncologist, was working on the south side of town. One of us had to be close to home and our children. I wanted to be involved in the community my practice was in, and our kids until recently, grew up in the Buckhead community.

Why was it important for you to have an all-women staff?
Women have always dominated the field of dentistry. Think about it. Who is the receptionist? A woman. Who is the office manager? A woman. Who is the assistant? A woman. Who is the hygienist? A woman.

Atlanta Smiles & Wellness has served the Buckhead area for almost 20 years. What made you decide to start your dental practice in this community?
10/31/17 10:46 AM
I graduated from The University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston in 1991. Fifty percent of my class was female. Statistics are showing that women are approaching the 50/50 ratio of entering freshmen in dental schools. Dentists who are 35 years old and younger now show the largest gender change. Many people have a very real anxiety of dental procedures. We believe women are naturally more sympathetic and nurturing to those concerns. Our team is always striving to make our patients feel comfortable and reassured with a smile, laughter, and the highest levels of hospitality, all while being extremely competent and professional.
Q
You and Dr. Kovitch have a unique approach to delivering care to your patients. What is your philosophy?
We look at the individual patient, their needs, and personal desires all from an overall health standpoint. The mouth is the window to the body and everybody needs to take responsibility for their preventive oral and overall health. Our philosophy is conservative and natural from nutrition to dentistry. We offer our patients the best aesthetic possibility for them.
Q
How do you define what you do every day?
Q
In what ways does your practice serve the community?
DR. MARIANNA KOVITCH AND DR. DINA GIESLER.
We change lives. The best way I can describe it is a blend of biomedical and structural engineering with a paintbrush—a combination of artistry and architecture. Dentistry is not just drilling, filling, and restoring holes in teeth. You have to be artistic. You have to be willing and able to see different shades, shapes, and colors while designing a treatment plan that will have the best prognosis and longevity. Dentistry is extremely rewarding. It truly is an amazing feeling to make a difference in someone’s life and see them look in the mirror for the first time and see the smile they have dreamed of for so many years.
We participate in and contribute to many charities and foundations in the community, along with local schools, churches and temples. We sponsor events in our community and we recently held a women’s self-defense evening.
Q
How has the community been a benefit to you and what was it like raising your children in Buckhead?
Q
What are your favorite neighborhood spots?
The area has proven to be a wonderful place to raise a family. Our kids attended Peachtree Presbyterian Preschool and Warren T. Jackson Elementary School. Dr. Kovitch’s children attend Temple Sinai Preschool. Everything we need is right here from the best hospitals, schools, restaurants, and shopping. Our kids grew up being a part of Northside Youth Organization, Cherokee Town and Country Club, and The Gym at Peachtree Presbyterian. My favorite places to eat are Houston’s, Bartaco, and Superica. I love to break a sweat at West Coast Workout—I love Tammy Stokes’ food line. Being from Texas and having a home in Austin, I can’t live without Whole Foods or Johnny’s Hideaway. Dr. Kovitch and her husband can be seen at LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Atlanta and Buckhead Diner. For date night, they go to Bistro Niko and Punchline Comedy Club.

Cynthia Good MEDIA EXECUTIVE • WORDSMITH • DANCER
By Alex McCray
Imagine looking up from your laptop and seeing the bluest beaches Cabo San Lucas has to offer right outside your window. That’s the view Cynthia Good, founder and CEO of LittlePinkBook.com, has each day when she splits her time between Buckhead and her house in the ultraluxe area of Pedregal. “I go down there every couple of months and work via computer. I eat tacos, fresh fish, and fruit. Plus, I get centered. It is paradise,” says Cynthia.
[
II dance loveprobably dancing. four to five times every single week.
[
After stints on CBS and Fox, and launching LittlePinkBook.com, a digital and events resource for career women, Cynthia decided to go in a new direction. “It’s easy to get into the trap of putting your job before yourself,” she says. Once her two sons, Alden and Julien, went to college, she knew it was time to focus on herself again. With that in mind, the former TV news journalist and magazine entrepreneur began working on a Master of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in poetry from New York University. The added perk? The program is partly based in Paris, France. But her passion for learning and challenging herself doesn’t stop there. “I love dancing,” she says. One of her go-to spots to cut a rug is Sanctuary Nightclub. “I dance probably four to five times every single week. And the secondary benefit is that I’m strong,” she says. She can be seen performing with The Atlanta Moving Company, too. Even though globetrotting is a normal part of life for Cynthia, Buckhead will always be special to her. “I love being able to walk everywhere, which I never thought of Buckhead in those terms before I lived here,” she says. And she enjoys taking advantage of dining options like Atlas and Chops Lobster Bar near her high-rise condo off Peachtree Street. LittlePinkBook.com

Buckhead may be home, but Mexico is a close second. “I started going to the Baja region many years ago with my fisherman father,” she reminisces. Cynthia brought her family to the same area she fell in love with as a little girl and it quickly became a multigenerational favorite. “They loved it too. So we finally built this amazing house on a hill right in Downtown Cabo San Lucas.”

Matt Shirah
E N T R E P R E N E U R • B E E R L O V E R • F A M I LY G U Y
By India Powell After taking home the second place win for USA Today’s 10Best’s “Best New Brewery 2017,” Matt Shirah of Scofflaw Brewing Company has a big reason to drink up. He left his fast-paced, travel-packed career as a corporate turnaround executive more than a year ago to birth Scofflaw Brewing Company. “I took one look at my daughter and decided I was not going to wear a suit anymore,” he says. In August 2016, Matt and Brewmaster Travis Herman officially opened the 18,000-square-foot brewery, having developed beers on a one-barrel system in Matt’s mother-in-law’s basement. Now they pride themselves on providing a burgeoning hub for community and togetherness in Buckhead.
Q
What is it about the world of brewing that you love?
Q
What is your favorite Scofflaw beer?
Our double dry-hopped Galaxy version of Double Jeopardy IPA. It’s a super flavorful beer with an unnoticeable 10.5 percent alcohol by volume. The aroma is also incredible. It comes from the Galaxy hops, which are difficult to come by, and very expensive if you do.
Q
What flavors are you serving up for winter?
Interrogation is a great milk stout that is cold steeped with coarse ground coffee beans from local roasters. It is available now at the brewery and will be in cans soon, but just for the cooler seasons.
Q
How does family life dovetail with your work life?
Our kids and extended families are often with us at the brewery. We have made it a place where the kids get to see the family pull together like a team and a place where they can also have fun. Since we keep our families close and welcome others to do the same, it is not uncommon to see as many as 75 to 100 children here on a Saturday.
Q
What do you love about the Buckhead community?
The Bolton neighborhood is the backbone of our business. In the beginning, it was just us; now it seems it’s us and all of our friends from around town. It’s a weekly friends and family reunion without any of the anxiety. For an evening out, we go to Bistro Niko. ScofflawBeer.com

Beer brings people and families together. I see it in my brewery every weekend—thousands of people meeting up to hang out and share time with each other and their families. We interact with all of them and it has become part of our story and they have become part of our family. Our passion for beer stems mostly from wanting to exceed the community’s expectations in the hopes that this will create a sense of added pride to the community—that we share this business and its success.
