A local southern breakfast favorite on Memorial Drive that is frequented by celebs, politicians, and locals alike! It’s cute and eclectic vintage interior is often used as a filming location. Get there early, as there is ALWAYS a wait. We love the comfy chicken biscuit, but definitely need a nap afterwards.

Sightseeing

A dose of monumental American history. Pay your respects to Dr. King at his beautiful memorial located just down the street from his childhood home, nestled in the Sweet Auburn neighborhood where he spent so much of his life, and did some of his greatest work. A beautiful space to reflect.

Nature

A 20 minute drive west of Atlanta, this historic park features the Ruins of an old civil war era mill, shady wooded trails and beautiful creek access. A favorite spot if you want to hop out of the city for an afternoon, and enjoy North Georgia’s beautiful forests and creeks.

A 20 minute drive east of Atlanta, It’s a wonderful place to hike a unique landscape. It’s especially lovely when the weather is cool, and from the top of the mountain you get a spectacular view of Atlanta. It’s a fairly easy hike to the top but may be moderately difficult for the health compromised or very young.

If you’re looking to beat the heat - a little less than an hour drive North East of Atlanta lies Lake Lanier, a boater’s paradise. Turquoise water, lots of Forrest and beaches to access. It’s a lovely drive up, and there are lots of places in the area to rent Boats.

Neighborhoods

This Historic Neighborhood is busy and bustling with downtown activity, businesses and residences alike. This neighborhood has a rich history within the Civil Rights Movement, and was the birth place of Martin Luther King Jr. - a fact both cherished and protected by local residents. The neighborhood is currently home to the King Center, as well as Ebenezer Church where MLK served as pastor from 1960 until his assassination in 1968. As with any city, it’s wise to use caution by not leaving visible items unattended in your car when you are parked on the street. Separately, there is a population of unhoused people who may ask for food or change. Many have been greatly impacted by the Pandemic. We believe in love and respect for all of our neighbors here in Old Fourth Ward, and we also respect those who don’t wish to engage. If this is the case for you, no worries! We recommend just smiling and walking on by.

Very funky and artsy part of town, notorious for it’s eclectic shops, bohemian residents and street performers. We recommend this neighborhood for the shopping and the vibe rather than a food stop, although there are several bars on the street that serve totally delicious bar food.

Where to begin? Buckhead is Atlanta’s notorious uptown, high rise strip - a glittering glass set of high rises towering over the city. Formerly home to Usher and Elton John among others. Several parts of the Hunger Games series were filmed in this area, most notably in the Swan Coach House and Mansion.

A vibrant strip full of food and Music venues, this is where the rockers hang out. Plenty of parking and a fun night to bar hop, catch a couple of shows and lots of options for excellent food. For a fun late night out, definitely check out Mary’s Bar for the Drag Shows and Karaoke.
