Amazing Tex Mex restaurant. Does get really busy and they don't take reservations. Best time to go in, depending on your party size, is 5-6. They usually get slammed right at 6:30-7. The outside seating is wonderful but also in high demand, so the bar can be a nice alternative.

Established in October of 2000 and set in the historic Cotton Mill general store, Agave has been named the Best Southwestern Restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia. The Native American ambience is warm & welcoming. A cozy little spot that is filled with the smells of fresh southwestern spices. Try the Fresh Georgia mountain trout stuffed with crawfish, mushrooms, onions, & basil over Spanish rice with a roasted tomatillo sauce & freshly cut cilantro. Definitely want to make a reservation as it gets very busy.

At the heart of Ponce City Market, the Central Food Hall is becoming the most vibrant food hall and market in the Southeast. James Beard Award-winning chefs the likes of Anne Quatrano, Linton Hopkins, and Sean Brock join Atlanta’s most exciting young purveyors and restauranteurs to offer everything from Georgia and Carolinas-caught seafood, to classic burgers, cold-pressed juice, and locally-made kimchee and Korean steamed buns. Similar to the legendary food hall at Chelsea Market in Manhattan—also owned by the developers of Ponce City Market—the Central Food Hall is a culinary gathering place within a revamped historic space, but with the distinct character and flavors of Atlanta.

One of the best restaurants in the Inman/Krog Street market area!!! Usually packed full you will want to make reservations, but there are two of you sitting at the bar can be a lot of fun. The lighting is low with some hip hop jams playing overhead. Their food is ridiculous! Like Italian and Asian fusion with a funky southern twist. I recommend the the 20 egg yolk tagliatelle. It's light with a buttery sauce and full of fun ingredients like kimchi and wild mushrooms. Guaranteed and all around great experience!

One of my absolute favorite breakfast places! Everything is great here. I especially love their Fried Green Tomatoes. Their pancakes are also REALLY good. You can't go wrong with anything. It's a great southern home town cooking and a great southern home town feel. They don't accept reservations and their is ALWAYS a wait but it's SO worth it! I would suggest getting there early to make sure you get on the list quickly and so they don't run out of anything. The staff is AMAZING always pleasant and eager to help. If you haven't been definitely add it to the top of your list.

The Botanical Garden is a great place year round, with something always in bloom. Spring is, of course, an amazing time with a riot of colors. Some of the highlights include the Orchid Display House in the Fuqua Orchid Center, the Rose Garden, the Winter Garden, the Japanese Garden, the Conservation Garden, and the Desert House. What there is to see will depend somewhat on the time of year you are visiting. However, the indoor gardens are always pleasant to wander through.

Did you know there is a natural waterfall inside Atlanta city limits? This hike leads you to it, and it’s only 20 minutes from Downtown. You’ll have to cross a forest, some streams, and a Civil War battlefield in order to get to the waterfall, but it’s well-worth the effort.

Just a cool place. Great staff. The food is good. For beer lovers their house IPA, when it's not immediately snapped up, is really good too.

Super atmosphere. They have a weekend brunch menu and a dinner menu. The atmosphere is perfect for a night out with friends or a date night. The decor is unique and pleasing to the eye. Their pizza is wood fired. They also have ski ball so bring your quarters. There are two bars which is nice because this place gets busy. They are also good for larger parties

The Fox Theatre is a premier example of the American movie palace. "The Fabulous Fox" is one of the most ornate movie palaces remaining in the country, and one of the largest (250,000 square feet) movie theaters ever built. Take in a show or see if you can sneak in to see the famous starry sky ceiling.

This should not be compared to the museum of Natural History in NYC or DC, but it's still a very fun trip for families. Three floors. Very top is am indoor explorer themed play area for kids. It's large and great for a rainy day. Nature exhibits then continue on down to the bottom floor, including a giant T-Rex in the center of the building. Do NOT miss the outdoor treetop part of the museum. This was added recently and includes an outdoor climbing area of older kids and also a small playground for younger kids themed like ant hills. VERY cute and a great way to burn off some energy

The rental bikes are fine. "Fine" is all you need. The Beltline is a railroad track conversion, flat as a pancake -- a unicycle could get you end-to-end. An extended biking venture into Atlanta's Piedmont Park at one of the Beltline's ends isn't challenging either. Get one and ride. Be sure to valet park (free) your bike at Ponce City Market along the way. When have you last used a bike valet??? Quite the scene!
