Food Scene

Best bagels in Atlanta (and maybe the world). Order the Olive oil and sea salt toasted with lox and cream cheese. It is heaven in your mouth. You can take it to go or they have a couple of patio tables outside you can sit down at.

Arguably one of the best restaurants in Atlanta. Make a reservation well in advance and get on the wait list if you can't get a reservation. James Beard nominee and winner of Bon Appetit's Best New Restaurant in 2016. If you go with four people, just order the entire menu.

Great local pub just up the road. Best chicken tenders (sub out the fries and get their green beans instead)!. Great for watching an Atlanta United game or just hanging out on the patio and having a beer after going to Thursday's farmers market (4pm-8pm)

Drive into EAV and turn left off of Flat Shoals into a sketchy alley. Park outside the sea-green wall and walk through the nondescript door and don't look back. Such delicious Korean food. Order the chicken thighs and scallion pancake. Great vibe in funky EAV. One of our favorites.

Delicious French bistro, my favorite for breakfast or brunch. Their avocado toast is to die for. Also, quiche lorraine is always a winner.

Delicious breakfast tacos and toasts. Venice Beach in 70s type of a vibe and right off of the Beltline. This spot is a favorite. Get the breakfast taco with chorizo and a mimosa and go sit out on the side patio in the fall.

Classic southern breakfast spot in Atlanta. It has a local divey feel. Kids will love the chocolate chip pancakes and you'll love the breakfast enchilada. Or pop over for lunch and grab some fried green tomatoes and a pimento cheese sandwich with a sweet tea!

If you like ethnic food, Clarkston is your happy place. Clarkston has the most diverse square mile in America and the food is worth the trip (and the people equally wonderful). Royal Myanmar is delicious and delivers a flavor bomb in each meal.

Best donuts in Atlanta. If you like chocolate order the Triple Chocolate Cake. The bacon salted caramel is also a big hit. Often a line, but totally worth it. Get there before they sell out. There's a little play kitchen your kid can play at while you wait in line. There is a second location in Decatur.

Parks & Nature

The Beltline can be picked up at many different points and is one of the highlights of Atlanta right now. Rent a bike, take a stroll or stop for a drink along the way. The Beltline is in progress and constantly developing. An old railroad line used to run the perimeter of Atlanta. Now it's being transformed into one large trail (concrete) connecting parks, neighborhoods and many restaurants. A favorite part of Atlanta. Pick it up beside Krog Street Market (just don't park at the market or you'll get a ticket). Walk down to Ponce City Market, or stop at any of the fun restaurants along the way.
