The beautiful Piedmont Park is a must-visit. The Central Park of ATL, known for beautiful nature and city views. Many events and festivals are held here when the weather is good. When I come, I like to get a burrito and chips at Willy’s, then feed the ducks chips at the lake.

Title should be “Westside Provisions District.” This general area is a must-visit, as it is only a 5 min drive/15 min walk. It includes many of the recommendations on my list such as Jeni’s ice cream, Upbeet, Ormsby’s, Marcel, etc, as well as cute shopping boutiques and stores. Parking both on the side with the garage near Marcel, or in the lot on the other side of the train tracks by Jeni’s.
