For fine-but-casual dining, try any restaurants from renowned regional chefs Anne Quatrano, Hugh Acheson or Ford Fry. In the morning, sample any of Atlanta’s biscuit-laden brunch hotspots.

For nightlife, explore the Highlands, Edgewood or Atlanta’s quirky “EAV” or East Atlanta Village. For great eats, try Old Fourth Ward, Kirkwood, Decatur or Atlanta’s Westside. Start your stay in Midtown, home to many of the city’s hotels, Georgia Tech University and the city’s tree-filled Piedmont Park.

Always changing, the city’s experiencing a vital stage of growth - with jobs and people rushing into the city’s neighborhoods, each one with its own unique feel. There’s many ways to describe Atlanta, and much more to see. Unexpected, artsy, urban, Southern, a little quirky, real, still finding its identity.
