If I want a decent bagel, this is where i go. I love the whitefish salad, the potato latkes, and the oven meals in the freezer case that you can buy for a to-go. Expect a line on weekend mornings.

Really good soul food chain. Interesting fact: They have chitlins on the menu. I don't eat them out but if you're feeling adventurous, go for it. I eat everything else on the menu and it's delicious. Good stuff! See if they're still running the 2 for $27 dinner special. The portions are generous. The video on the website is very entertaining. Very easy to get to on surface streets from the house. https://thisisitbbq.com/

Sweetwater Creek State Park is a peaceful tract of wilderness only minutes from downtown Atlanta. A wooded trail follows the stream to the ruins of the New Manchester Manufacturing Company, a textile mill burned during the Civil War. Beyond the mill, the trail climbs rocky bluffs to provide views of the beautiful rapids below. Additional trails wind through fields and forest, showcasing ferns, magnolias, wild azaleas and hardwoods. Park rangers lead informative hikes to these areas throughout the year. The 215 acre George Sparks Reservoir is popular for fishing and provides a pretty setting for feeding ducks and picnicking. However, there is no beach and swimming in the Reservoir is not all

Featured on numerous cooking and travel shows. This is the largest international food market of it's kind in the country. Take your walking shoes and a warm jacket. The seafood counter and bakery are second to none as is the spice section. Find spices to cook any cuisine. Their ground pepper is fresher than any I've ever bought. The bakery is amazing! My family loves the chia seed muffins. Great for vegetarians.

The Atlanta History Center was founded on the big ideas and relentless fascination of 14 Atlantans who were emphatic about our city’s historical relevance in society. In a sense, our organization was created by Atlanta’s biggest fans, and we love that detail. In 1926, these founding members introduced the Atlanta Historical Society into the world with one mission: to help preserve Atlanta’s history. In 1990, after decades of collecting, researching, publishing and celebrating the early stories of our great Southern community, the Atlanta Historical Society and all of its holdings officially became the Atlanta History Center.
