From the oyster bar that offers 10 varietals to the airy main dining room serving everything from Maine sea scallops to whole roasted Georgia trout and beach classics like hush puppies and lobster rolls, chef and restaurateur Ford Fry’s The Optimist is a beachside escape in the heart of the bustling Westside. Don’t miss the Oyster Happy Hour (5 to 6 p.m. weekdays and 3 to 5 p.m. weekends) with $1 oysters, bakers’ dozens and other specials. Cap your evening with a round of putt-putt on the patio. http://theoptimistrestaurant.com

This seafood shack looks like it belongs at the end of a sandy beach road, not in the heart of Midtown. With a laid back vibe, wrap-around outdoor deck and rooftop patio, Steamhouse is the perfect spot for sipping an ice cold beer while dining on pub-like fare. Try one of the fried baskets like catfish or fish n’ chips, hot or cold shrimp by the dozen or half dozen, or the jumbo lump crab cake. And don’t miss the restaurant’s famed lobster bisque, available by the cup or quart. www.steamhouselounge.com

Named for a 12-foot-4-inch catboat, this nautically themed Inman Park spot is part upscale seafood restaurant, part cozy lounge.

With both an upstairs dining room and a downstairs, 70s inspired cocktail den, you have your choice of setting for oysters, shareable small plates like cold smoked salmon dip and mains like crawfish and whole branzino.

Elk Head, a men’s clothing store at Ponce City Market, is ready for summer with floral print shirts, band collar shirts, over shirts, black leather summery shoes and a wide collection of well-designed ATL merchandise including ball caps and T-shirts. www.poncecitymarket.com

This unique store is all about game day, and, while it’s early to go to an actual game, it’s never too early to show your team spirit.

Stewart Simmons in the Virginia-Highland neighborhood is packed with lightweight tops that do just that. One bright red off-theshoulder shirt proclaims: “SIC ‘Em.” There’s a sleeveless tee with a gator on the front. And just ahead of those early September games, Stewart Simmons has introduced its fall line of football-related T-shirts. One new sleeveless tee reads, “Touchdowns and Tailgates.” www.stewartsimmons.com

ATLANTIC STATION Atlantic Station, located right off the Downtown Connector near Georgia Tech, is a haven for shoppers because of all the perennially favorite stores located there. Stop in Old Navy for T-shirts, tank tops, shorts and swimwear. Pick out patriotic red, white and blue items or choose matching sets for the whole family. Find more swimwear as well as sunglasses at Dillard’s. Point your walking shoes to DSW for summer footwear, such as cool, comfy and fashion-forward slides.

Dermalogica has you covered for hot weather skin care. To keep your drinks cold and “unspillable,” pick up a few Tervis tumblers, and for après swim, Bath & Body Works is ready with new summer fragrances. www.atlanticstation.com
