Things To Do
Atlanta Betline and Ponce City Market
We love spending time on the beltline, especially in the spring! Start your trip on at Ponce City Market where you can check out shops and some great food. Afterwards walk out to the Beltline, grab a scooter or bike and head to Krog Street Market. Along the way you'll see parks and restaurants - two of our favorites are Hawkers (Asian Street Food) and Nina and Rafi (Pizza).
Mary Mac's Tea Room
If you're looking for an authentic southern meal you'll find it here!
Bs Cracklin BBQ
B's Cracklin BBQ has some of the best brisket in town! They were located across the street from our neighborhood and was one of our favorites. B's has relocated to the new Kroger on the Beltline across from Ponce City Market. It is worth stopping by! In addition to B’s, the new Kroger includes a beer and wine bar called Pub on Ponce with a walk-up window off the Beltline and a Starbucks coffee with a patio.
Zoo Atlanta
Head over to Zoo Atlanta and get a sneak peak of the reception. Grant Park is adjacent to the Zoo, grab a sandwich and eat lunch in the park.
Lucy's Market
Lucy's Market is just a couple miles from the JW Marriott and Springhill Suites. They sell a variety of fresh produce, delicious prepared foods, cakes, bread and more.
Tin Lizzy's Cantina
If you're looking for something to eat near the hotel we highly recommend Tin Lizzy's! They have great tacos, chips, and of course margarita's - enjoy!
Atlanta Botanical Garden
If it is a pretty day, you can't go wrong with the Botanical Gardens. In October the gardens are filled with fun scarecrows submitted by businesses all over Atlanta!
Georgia Aquarium
A visit to the Georgia Aquarium is great for all ages - if you're lucky you'll get to see the penguin waddle walk, a personal favorite! Also, did you know? It's the world's largest aquarium, holding 10,000,000 gallons of water.
The Battery Atlanta
The Battery at SunTrust Park is easily to walk around and full of restaurants, shops, and bars. Our favorite restaurants are Antico Pizza, and El Felix! There is turf for kids to run around on, a splash fountain, and a big screen that shows the games too!
F & B
Delicious French inspired food in Buckhead - a nice atmosphere too
South City Kitchen Buckhead
Upscale southern classic, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!
Chattahoochee Food Works
The Chattahoochee Food Works just opened by our house and we are BIG FANS! There are countless food stalls ranging from Thai Food to Pizza. Also, next door is one of our favorite breweries, Dr. Scofflaws. There is plenty of outdoor seating so grab a bite to eat, a beer, and enjoy!
