Things To Do
Avalon
One of our favorite outdoor shopping spots just outside the city, with plenty of great restaurants, and where you'll find the Hotel at Avalon—one of the hotels we recommend for our guests.
Halcyon
Another outdoor shopping and dining area about 10 minutes from our venue.
Buckhead Village
Walking distance from where we both live in Buckhead. Be sure to get a cocktail on Yeppa's patio, and check out Bella Cucina, which is one of Jo's favorite stores.
The Beltline
The Beltline is a fun walking and biking trail that winds through Atlanta with great spots to eat, grab a drink, check out street art, and explore different neighborhoods along the way. We'd recommend hopping on from Piedmont Park or Ponce City Market. Definitely one of our favorite parts of the city, and so easy to spend hours here!
