Susannah & William
Things To Do
The General Muir
William's favorite breakfast place in Atlanta (and possibly the world). Try the poached eggs and grits (his favorite), the Avenue D bagel (Susannah's favorite), or the latkes!
Murphy's
Susannah and Janet's go-to brunch/lunch/meeting place! The patio is especially excellent for enjoying a glass of wine and good conversation.
Taqueria Del Sol
A family staple and an Atlanta must-do! Copy Susannah's order of a cheese dip and pork enchiladas with green chile sauce, or try one of their excellent weekly specials. No matter what, make sure you order some house margaritas!
Barcelona Wine Bar
Our favorite date spot in Atlanta! Tapas are served in the traditional manner so you can order as many or as few as you like! We strongly recommend making reservations, just to be on the safe side.
George's Bar and Restaurant
Not feeling fancy? Want a good burger and a good beer? Feel like sitting in the same booth that Pat Conroy or Johnny Cash sat in? Come on down to George's, Janet's go-to bar since college!
Alon's Bakery
Two words: MIDNIGHT CAKE. Also delicious sandwiches, a great cheese counter, salads, pastries, and a gourmet market, but once you've had the midnight cake, you'll forget about all of that.
Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park
Not far from our venues and hotels is the national historic park and final resting place of Martin Luther King Jr., Atlanta's most important and influential person! The park includes the King Center, MLK's birthplace, and the Ebenezer Baptist Church. Admission is free!
Atlanta History Center
In the mood for more history? The Atlanta History Center provides a fascinating walk through Georgia's history from prehistory to the modern era! Fun fact: Susannah interned here in the summer of 2016. She particularly recommends the Tullie Smith Farm (Civil War Era), the Swan House (roaring 20s mansion), and the Olympics exhibit! Tickets are $10 for children and $23 for adults.
Fernbank Museum of Science
A great afternoon for science lovers, especially young ones! Walk through time in Georgia, catch a breathtaking IMAX film, or enjoy a leafy stroll on the nature trails! Tickets are $25 for adults and $23 for kids.
Atlanta Botanical Garden
An all-time favorite and an Atlanta must-see! There's SO much to do here, but we recommend the Canopy Walk (look for the Mother Nature waterfall topiary!), the Japanese Garden, and the Conservatory and Orchid House. Advance Online Tickets are $23 for adults and $20 for children.
Ponce City Market
Come for the food hall and shopping, stay for the people watching! There's a million and one things to do at Ponce City Market--and if you're willing to pay for the ticket, you can enjoy minigolf and carnival games on the roof with unbeatable views of Atlanta!
Stroll, Run, Bike, or Scooter on the Beltline
If you get tired of shopping at Ponce City Market or feel like wandering a little more after the Botanical Garden, head to the Beltline! We recommend the Eastline trail that runs from Piedmont Park to Inman Park, mostly because of the views and the ample shopping and eating opportunities (hit up Jake's for ice cream or New Realm Brewing Co for beer!).
