Food Scene

Some say this place serves Atlanta’s best burgers and being just up the street, who are we to argue? Great beer selection and a large patio area with outdoor ping pong and shuffleboard. Also a few TVs usually showing sports and esoteric old movies - think anime and '70s sci-fi. (4 minute walk)

Somewhere between neighborhood pizzeria and gourmet trendiness, with a good cocktail and local beer list thrown in. Run by an Atlanta celebrity chef/Food Network winner, it’s delicious. (10 minute walk)

Asian-inspired, southern style pizza? We're not sure exactly how they make this unconventional combination work, but they do! It's all delicious, and they have great options for vegetarians as well as omnivores. (10 minute walk)

One of our favorite nearby all-day spots is Muchacho, which offers a quirky mix of tacos, TexMex snacks, coffees and cocktails in a very fun setting. The building is actually an old railroad station (it's adjacent to the Beltline after all), but it's been re-configured into a lively space that combines a laid-back outdoor patio with a classy lounge.

This is a fully vegan restaurant. But if you are not vegan, don’t let that stop you! The Latin-inspired food is seriously delicious. And, the cocktails are top notch. (10 minute walk)

An open concept market with food stalls and a few sit-down restaurants- Superica and Ticonderoga Club are particularly good. The food stalls all have good food, and the BBQ and Szechuan places are especially popular. (5-10 min drive or a 20 minute walk through Cabbagetown)

Great Beltline location and some of the best pizza in the area. The wait can be long, so try to arrive early or go on a pretty day when you can grab a drink at the bar and hang out outside. But the 'Detroit style' pizza is worth it. (20 minute walk)

It’s very much an experience. The food is modern American fare served in a dim sum style (meaning the chefs come to your table with dishes and you pick what you want). It’s very delicious, and can also be quite pricey. It’s not the most romantic atmosphere because it’s one open room and many tables are communal. The cocktails are first-rate. It was started by Kevin Gillespie (a local celebrity chef) and always gets great reviews. (20 minute walk or 5 minute drive)

Really really good thin pizza with homemade sourdough crust. Does each pie come with pizza ranch? Yes it does! You can’t sit inside, so this is solely a to-go option (there are some tables outside).

Micro-brewery that's part of the Atlanta Dairies complex just up the street. Very interesting selection of beers at this outpost of popular Atlanta brewery Three Taverns. Grab a beer inside at the bar or from the window and sit by one of the outdoor fire pits, upstairs picnic tables, or indoor lounge. This place has fast become a neighborhood favorite!

This brand-new venue has become a local favorite to see national and local bands in its large indoor space and rooftop bar. It's part of the Atlanta Dairies complex just down Memorial, and you can easily walk and grab a bite or drink at Wonderkid, Three Taverns Imaginarium Brewery or just chill before a show in the green space out front.

Sightseeing, parks and more!

A half-mile north of our place is an entrance to the Atlanta Beltline-- a converted rail line that's now a walking/biking path through some of Atlanta's best neighborhoods. This section begins in Krog Street Tunnel, which always features lots of graffiti and murals. To follow the beltline, continue across the street when you exit the tunnel, turning left to stay on the path that winds between the apartment buildings. If you walk to the end of the path (about 3 miles), you'll reach Atlanta's biggest green space- Piedmont Park. Along the way, you'll encounter restaurants, a brewery, bars, and cool street art, as well as Krog Street Market and Ponce City Market- open-concept markets in old industrial spaces. (15 minute walk)
