News Around the Square
I first moved to Marietta, GA, at the age of nine, and it has held my heart ever since. Today, I am a proud Marietta resident along with my husband, and I still have a passion for helping people to discover, explore, and enjoy our warm and welcoming hometown. My background and professional work in marketing and real estate led me to create Merry in Marietta as a community hub to connect residents, prospective residents, and visitors with all the best that Marietta has to offer. I’m excited to show you around!
Hi, I’m Nicole.
![Another gem of a night in Marietta 🍷✨
Through the Grapevine is a local wine club that meets monthly to sip, socialize, and make new connections — and tonight’s event at the Marietta Garden Center was such a vibe.
It was my first time at this venue @fairoaksmarietta and now I’m dreaming of hosting something here myself… it’s that charming. 💐
This wasn’t just wine tasting — it was community.
If you’re looking to meet great people, sip something delicious, and support local, Through the Grapevine is a perfect addition to your Marietta social calendar. 🍷

![Meet Tugba — the heart behind Warm Hugs Bakery in Marietta. 💛
What started as a way to share Turkish treats with friends has grown into a cozy, family-run bakery filled with flaky börek, hand-layered baklava, and the now-famous baklava cheesecake (trust us, it’s a must-try). 🧁🇹🇷
Tugba left her career in Turkey to start fresh in the U.S. and build a legacy for her family — blending the flavors of her heritage with the warmth of the Marietta community.
✨ She’s not just a baker. She’s an artist. A storyteller. And a woman on a mission to make people feel at home, one bite at a time.
Stop by for a sweet treat, custom cake, or just a warm hello — and experience why this hidden gem is something truly special.

![✨ Seven Tequilas just raised the bar on the Square
Think lush emerald booths, warm cognac tones, handmade tortillas and plates that taste as vibrant as the décor. One margarita in and you’ll understand why “seven” might be the new lucky number in Marietta. 🍹🌵
Drop a 🌶️ if you’re ready to toast to Marietta’s newest stunner, and follow @MerryInMarietta for more first-look finds!

![Late-night looking 🔥?
Slide over to iLounge where the vibes hit max after 10 PM: DJ spinning, hookah clouds floating, and plates piled with legit heat.
Highlights from my first round:
• Crispy fried turkey 🦃
• Flaky Haitian patties 🥟
• Shrimp-topped tostones 🍤
• Wings + curry chicken that bring the spice 🌶️
Marietta, add this gem to your after-hours lineup—you’ll leave full, happy, and maybe dancing.

![✨ Girl dinner, but make it dessert.
We finally tried the soft serve at Tiny Bubbles inside Marietta Square Market — and let’s just say, it’s a major yes. 🍦💖
Think bubble tea, oversized peanut butter cups, perfectly chewy macarons, and soft serve that deserves its own spotlight. Basically, a sugar-fueled dream disguised as a dessert bar. 🧋🍬
Highly recommend: grab your girls, skip dinner, and go straight to the good stuff.
