Things To Do
West Egg Cafe
Best-in-Atlanta breakfast all day and weekend brunch with a full bar. They also have a separate coffee shop area with a walk-up counter with baked goods and locally-roasted coffee. "Atlanta’s chock full of places where biscuits that are approximately 95% butter (and 5% love, if the menus are to be believed) are the stars, & true to form this modern-ish throwback experience brings the thunder courtesy of a build-your-own biscuit menu that keeps things simple, cheap, and delightful. Eggs, too, are perfect, packed with anything from pecan-smoked bacon, to ham, sausage, & half dozen cheeses. But it’s the spins on classics that sets West Egg truly apart, including a shrimp & grits loaded up with andouille sausage, fancy butter, roasted okra; fried chicken hash kicked in the tastebuds with Swiss chard & portobello in the mix; a Georgia benedict that puts turkey sausage (and gravy) onto split biscuits with eggs. It’s southern comfort that takes things slightly out of the comfort zone."
Upbeet
Looking for something quick and casual? Upbeet's quick, customizable salads and grain bowls are filled with organic veggies, grass-fed animal proteins and non-GMO vegan proteins, and housemade dressings made with clean oils. The same goes for their organic smoothies, smoothie bowls, yogurt bowls, superfood lattes, and toast. The veggie-forward menu is cold-prepped and filled with vibrant food that fuels life.

Marcel
A moody, first-rate steakhouse and bar by Ford Fry, and one of our favorite restaurants in Atlanta (when we are willing to splurge)! Reservations are required for the dining, but we always like to grab a seat at the bar. Don't miss the steak tartare or the cote de boeuf! For those looking to impress, order the Beef Wellington for two. It requires ordering 24-hours in advance.
