Shopping
We’ve listed a few of the popular shopping destinations and some of our favorite locations.
There is a plethora of cuisines to explore in this location. My personal favorite for seafood is the Fish Camp. If you’re vegetarian, try the veggie burger at H&F burger. It's really good! If you're looking for something sweeter, go for the acai bowl at Lucky Lotus.
Atl Rooftops are my fave! Check out Estrella for margaritas and tacos or New Realm Brewery for every kind of beer imaginable! It’s a complete vibe!
Two Urban Licks is a local favorite. The salmon chips are remarkable!
It’s an eclectic mix of shops there at Ponce City Market on the second floor. So allow some time to stroll and shop. You’ll also have access to the Atlanta Beltline from the second floor. Take some time to walk and enjoy the scene there too.
