We LOVE this Asian bakery. There are several located throughout Atlanta, but this specific location is the largest (and less crowded). The Taro Bubble Tea is our favorite bubble tea, and their baked goods are melt-in-your-mouth delicious!

Another spectacular restaurant for ones searching for a stylish, yet subtle dinner. Located right next to the Chattahoochee River with gardens to walk while you wait or after you dine. This is a great restaurant that a lot of locals enjoy for that special evening out.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Atlanta! It's Korean-mexican fusion and it is out-of-this-world amazing. They're Sesame fries are awesome! You will need to pay for parking (~$5) at this location (which is our favorite one by the way); we suggest giving them a call for pricing to be sure.

This is such a cool camp-themed restaurant. The food is basically tappas-style and is great for sharing and so good! Enjoy drinks outside and play some cornhole while you wait.

This place is like stepping into a whimsical and Alice in Wonderland-era; with umbrellas hanging from the ceiling and books everywhere. Make reservations for High Tea (you get all the trimmings of a great tea party) or just enjoy a cup of tea and add a pastry or two in there. Also, the staff at Dr. Bombay's helps support the shop's project in India, which they call "The Learning Tea". Much of the funding for the project, which gives life scholarships to impoverished young women in India, comes from their tea shop. So, great tea, great atmosphere, and great morals...we are all about that!

Arabia Mountain is one of our personal favorite places to get away from the city and really relax close to home. It's such a big location that even though you may see a lot of cars, you don't run into very many people. It's so peaceful and sometimes feels like you're on another planet because of all the rock and unique vegetation that grows around it; plus, the view at the top is pretty great. It also has FREE parking and entry!!

Shopping

Ponce City Market is becoming one of the most popular places to visit in Atlanta. It's full of shops and delicious restaurants (Hops Chicken is one of our favorites), and has a very hip and industrial look. It also has some pretty sweet views at the top. Keep in mind, this isn't your typical mall-it's so much better!

Krog Street Market is kind of a smaller version of Ponce City Market, except it's exactly what it says in its name, a "market". Several restaurants inside, some flower and jewelry shops, small grocery shops, etc. One of the best ice cream shops is also inside (Jeni's Ice Cream); not the cheapest, but the flavors are very unique and worth a try when visiting ATL:).

If you're eclectic, creative, and artistic, then you will LOVE this place. It's like a bazaar in a way, and locals sell handmade items from jewelry to antiques, to even statues and furniture! It's so fun to look around and see what's available with a beautiful and bright aesthetic to the atmosphere.

Entertainment & Activities

This is an entrance to what is known as the "Beltline". The Beltline is a giant trail that goes all the way around the city of Atlanta. Bike, hike, roller blade, skate, or whatever you fancy; this trail is hopping (especially on weekends)! This particular location is one we've visited the most; it's right next to Ponce City Market, and several great restaurants, and cute shops.

Topgolf is a game that anyone can play (and win). Score points by hitting micro-chipped golf balls at giant dartboard-like targets on an outfield. The closer you get your ball to the center or ‘bullseye’ and the further the distance, the more points earned. With a cozy area of your own to chill while you watch your opponent play, you can also enjoy delicious food and beverages! It's less expensive the earlier you go during the day; we typically like to get there around 11AM and eat lunch; it gets busier as the day goes on so mornings are fun if you want it more quiet and affordable.

Getting Around

This is the closest MARTA train station that will take you directly downtown. A lot of the time when we are headed to the airport we will take an Uber or Lyft to the station, head towards Five Points (where the railways meet in the middle), and head south all the way to the Airport (the very last stop going in that direction). Check the MARTA website for tickets & fares.
