Things To Do
A few of our favorite things.
Welcome to Atlanta! We hope you enjoy your visit. Here's a few of our favorite things.
High Museum of Art
There's always a fun seasonal exhibit, but the weird chair section on the top floor never gets old.
GT Football Game
Walk around campus to get a taste of southern college football! Fraternity row usually has fun music and great people watching. The Sig Ep house is the very romantic setting of the beginning of our love story.
Or head to a local bar to watch from there! Three's Tavern on the beltline, the Local, or the Clermont Rooftop will be showing it.
Georgia Aquarium
One of the largest aquariums in the world, and the best aquarium in the country (according to us)! The dolphin show goes hard. Will loves an aquarium, but Emily generally prefers Zoos.
Walk the Beltline
The beltline is a 22 mile loop of green walking/biking/skating space. The trails cover an old train track around the full perimeter of the city. The same development firm responsible for Chelsea Market and the High Line for those architecture nerds reading along! Get those steps in and see some fun art along the way.
Check out the Beltline website for info on free Yoga Classes, Art, and more!
Beltline website →Civil Rights Museum
The museum always has great rotational exhibits, as well as a permanent MLK exhibit. If you're interested in extending your trip, the Legacy Museum in Montgomery (2 hrs from Atlanta) is extremely well done.

Around the City

Lewis BBQ
Best bbq in the South! Hot guts and cornbread all day.
Star Provisions
Gu's Dumplings — Krog Street
Friday Night Dinner
If you're looking for a spot walkable to the Welcome Party, there happen to be plenty of options! Anything in the "Inman Park" neighborhood will be walkable, but these are a few of our favorites:
More casual
Fritti Pizza
Fresh Neapolitan-style pizza (it ain't a New York slice), and an amazing outdoor patio!
Victory Sandwich Bar
Great beers & yummy sandwiches. Best pimento cheese in the city (a close second to Mrs. Bunker's).
The Porter
Will's favorite burger in the city, and an amazing beer selection!
Communidad Taqueria
Who doesn't love community and tacos?
A little more upscale
Beetlecat
Fun seafood & oyster bar, with a vibey 1970s basement.
Delbar
Delicious upscale Persian restaurant! Would recommend a reservation!
Bread & Butterfly
French bistro, James Beard nominated.
Slightly longer walk
Superica
One of our favorite ATL restaurants — some good southern tex-mex! It's a 24-minute walk.
