I know, I know, I’m FROM Atlanta, but I frequently tell people that I’m not a very good tour guide for Atlanta considering I haven’t explored much of the city and suburbs.

However, I do know of enough things to do to fill up a couple of days to entertain Natalie over spring break.

Foods we ate/things we did/places we went:

High Museum

a small but quirky modern art museum in the heart of downtown Atlanta

Ponce City Market/The BeltLine

one of Atlanta’s biggest food halls meets the city’s version of New York’s High Line on historical Ponce de Leon Avenue. Ponce City Market houses some seriously good food from restaurants like Holeman & Finch Burger, Hop’s Chicken and King of Pops. After you’ve eaten and guilted yourself into taking a walk, head up to the third floor, which accesses the BeltLine, a running and biking trail in the middle of the city that features colorful graffiti art, a skate park and more

The Colonnade

Stone Mountain

Stone Mountain is an artificial mountain in Stone Mountain Park that makes for a great, casual hike for non sporty people like myself. Sure, the top doesn’t have THAT great of a view and there’s still a Confederate flag flying somewhere on the grounds, but it is in the area where Childish Gambino grew up…if that helps.

Antico Pizza

one of the best pizza spots near Georgia Tech in Atlanta, up there with Fellini’s Pizza – this place serves its massive, bubbly ‘zas on wide metal sheet pans, with rolls of paper towels on the table, ready to catch sauce drippings.

Lee’s Bakery

one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Atlanta, because it’s so quick, cheap and authentic. It serves substantial bowls of pho in addition to banh mi, but my favorite part is that they sell
