A NICU support group connected with Erlanger Children's Hospital is helping families navigate one of the most stressful and emotional experiences a parent can face.

This year marks 25 years since the September 11 attacks, and Chattanooga's annual 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is returning with a new home at Erlanger Park.

It's the 12th year for Chattanooga's memorial climb, and the event is open to the community — not just firefighters and first responders.

Looking for one of Chattanooga's coolest spots for a date night or drinks with friends? Put The Rosecomb on your list.

Tucked inside a charming 1920s cottage in the historic Riverview neighborhood, Rosecomb feels more like you've stumbled into someone's incredibly cool house than a traditional restaurant or bar.

The menu leans into Southern Appalachian-inspired food, while the bar serves up craft cocktails, unique wines, beer and some impressive non-alcoholic options. Add in the intimate cottage setting and garden patio and it's easy to see why this place has become a Chattanooga favorite.

And it has some serious credentials: The Rosecomb was named a MICHELIN Recommended restaurant in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide American South.

One important heads-up before you go: Rosecomb is 21+ at all times.

📍 921 Barton Ave., Chattanooga
