covering AAA recommended attractions and restaurants, exclusive
member discounts, maps and more.  
Atlanta is the capital of Georgia and the
epicenter of the New South. While the city
retains some of its small-town atmosphere
in many ways—such homey
neighborhoods as Virginia-Highland and
Little Five Points, blooming dogwoods and
azaleas that politely announce springtime
and the genteel hospitality practiced by
true Southerners—it is far from the sleepy
Southern town that Gen. Sherman burned
to ashes in his 1864 march to the sea.
Sleek skyscrapers house headquarters to some of the country’s biggest
business names, and traffic rivals the professional gridlock found in other
major metropolitan areas, but the atmosphere is pleasant. Perhaps it’s all
the sweet tea, but Atlanta is one big city that retains its Southern charm.
The host for the Centennial Olympic Games, Atlanta is home to four
major league sports teams whose fans are (dare we say) well-mannered.
And one of the city’s best preserved sites, the historic Fox Theatre, was
saved from destruction by the goodwill of gracious Atlantans.
Even though driven Northerners count for more than half of the city’s
ever-growing population, you’ll still encounter a slow pace if you look.
Hints of the Old South can be found at historic sites, and heard—in the
slow drawl of a “yes, ma’am.”
Essentials
Cheer on the Atlanta Braves at Turner field, which served as the Olympic
Stadium for the Centennial Olympic games, and take a behind-the-
scenes look with Turner Field Tours and the Ivan Allen Jr. Braves
Museum and Hall of Fame.
Stroll through the trendy Virginia-Highland neighborhood, stopping at a
café or one of many eclectic shops housed in circa 1900 bungalows
(Virginia Street meets Highland Street just northeast of downtown).
Take an Atlanta Preservation Society-sponsored architectural tour of the
1920s Moorish, Egyptian-style Fox Theatre. Saved from demolition by
dedicated locals, the palace features onion domes, minarets and
decorative tile work.
Visit Roswell’s Archibald Smith Plantation Home, which preserves
Antebellum history through docent tours that explore the house (complete
with original furnishings) and outbuildings.
Take the elevator to the revolving 73rd floor of the Westin Peachtree
Plaza for panoramic views of downtown; while there, sip a peach-flavored
daiquiri.
Enjoy views of the Atlanta skyline and Appalachian Mountains from Stone
Mountain via the skyride, a cable car that lets you off atop the giant
Confederate memorial carving.
Join a walking tour of the Sweet Auburn National Historic District to see
the boyhood home of assassinated Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King
Jr., his crypt, the church where he preached and the Martin Luther King
Jr. National Historic Site.

locals arrive bedecked in heels and carrying picnic baskets filled with
table linens, floral centerpieces and candles.
Check out the Victorian architecture in the city’s bohemian-style Little
Five Points neighborhood, at the junction of Euclid and Moreland
avenues.

Evening
If you haven’t seen enough of the park, stay for the laser light show and
check out its Riverboat Cruises for a trip aboard the Scarlett O’Hara
paddlewheeler on Stone Mountain Lake. Or attend a concert at Chastain
Park in northwest Atlanta (off Roswell Road near the intersection of West
Wieuca and Powers Ferry roads). It’s the city’s best outdoor venue and
known for its concertgoers, who arrive with insanely elaborate picnic
spreads.
Restaurants
Chili dogs, onion rings and frozen orange
drinks are but a few of the favorites you’ll
find at The Varsity, an Atlanta institution.
Expect shouts of “What’ll you have?” from
the high-energy staff at this retro drive-in,
and don’t dare approach the counter until
you know what you plan to order, else
harassment will ensue. Those on a diet or
watching cholesterol should avoid this
place, or take a day off. If you can’t make it
to the original landmark in downtown, seek
out one of the four branches in convenient
locations throughout the city.
Looking for super sandwiches, artisan breads and sumptuous desserts?
Alon’s Bakery & Market is the place to enjoy a creative spin on everyday
fare. Garlic-roasted lamb sandwiches or a slice of Valrhona chocolate
truffle cake tempt the palate. Set in a bustling neighborhood brimming
with restaurants, bars and shops, this has become the place to get it and
go. Primarily a take-out spot, it offers a few outdoor benches if you’re
both quick and lucky. In spite of its popularity, the friendly service here is
prone to get rattled as the place gets crowded.
You don’t need to make a trip south of the border to find authentic
Mexican fare and dangerous margaritas. Head to the Nuevo Laredo
Cantina instead. Tucked away in an inconspicuous hideaway, this cantina
has become a mainstay for Atlantans. Quirky décor—which features
metal and wood crucifixes made by hand in Mexico—only adds to its
Mexican charm. Fast service is also one of the hallmarks and is much
appreciated by the local crowd and visitors alike.
Mary Mac’s Tea Room serves up simple, home-style Southern fare that
will take you back to a bygone era when sweet tea reigned supreme.
Crispy fried chicken and fried green tomatoes are but two of the
mouthwatering regional specialties, and the staff is almost as sweet as
the tea. Locals often hang out here to catch a glimpse of the many
luminaries that have been known to cut their teeth on the “Old South”
vittles.
Have an appetite for a big steak? Peruse the meats on display in the
clublike dining room of Bone’s Restaurant. Hand-pick your cut, then relax
while the attentive staff serves up such well-known, beefy favorites as
loin lamb chops and filet mignon with consistently good quality. Don’t
ignore the briny fare, either, as the seafood draws high marks, too. An
award-winning wine list offers extensive choices to accompany a great
meal.
If you know it swims in the ocean, then you may find it on your plate at
the famous Atlanta Fish Market, an enormous, bustling eatery marked by
a 30-foot-tall copper fish. Fresh seafood doesn’t get much fresher.
Succulent, and sometimes obscure, options line the “today’s catch”
section of the menu. Come with an adventurous palate, and try the Maine
skate wing, arctic char or English dory. Be sure to bring your patience, as
long waits are the norm at peak hours, and the service can be streaky
(although it hits more often than it misses). There’s even a fresh market
on site if you’d like to take something aquatic home with you.
This ultra-hip, chic bistro has become one happening place in Atlanta for
cutting-edge, New American cuisine. One Midtown Kitchen mixes and
matches a variety of common dishes, creating new fare. Very popular are
the smaller plates, which work great for sampling, coupled with
bottomless wine glasses to accompany your chosen delights. The energy
at this spot is palpable, friendly servers are both casual and professional,
and the sleek décor and elevated noise level are vital parts of the lively
scene. If you want to be where the action is, the bar is considered one of
the area’s best.

Bacchanalia—the name says it all. This California-style restaurant, set in
a contemporary, refurbished warehouse, is one of Atlanta’s most popular
upscale destinations. Tasty food is always expertly prepared, and the
service is just as notable. Don’t dawdle in making a dinner reservation, as
there is always a high demand for seats at this restaurant on any night of

the week. On your way out, stop by the gourmet outlet and take home
some cheese, dessert, bread or wine.
Riverside setting and lush landscaping are only the beginning of the
intimate dining experience at Canoe. A menu of New American cuisine—
with such features as Maine peekytoe crab fritters and oak-grilled duck
breast—is inspired by the season. Highly informed, yet unobtrusive,
servers help make this a stellar dining spot. Fresh, local ingredients and a
charming ambience contribute to the dining experience, which has long
been a choice for special events.

In a stunning, modern facility that boats a 65-foot lounge bar, the Joel
offers arguably some of the most creative French cuisine in America.
Dishes like roast hare tenderloin and grilled turbot delight guests. Relying
on considerable international training, chef Joel Antunes has brought a
memorable dining experience to Georgia that features Asian and
Mediterranean influences. The wine list is outstanding, and the service is
a perfect complement. Prices can be high, but prix fixe specials appeal to
the more budget-minded diner.
Attractions
In a city with dozens of attractions, you may have trouble deciding where
to spend your time. Here are the highlights for this destination, as chosen
by AAA editors. GEMs are “Great Experiences for Members.”
Begin your visit to downtown Atlanta with a tour of
the gold-domed Georgia State Capitol, where you’ll
learn about the architecture of the building and see
lawmakers at work. Be sure to check out the Hall of
Valor, which has historic flags, and the Georgia
Capitol Museum, chock full of rocks, artifacts and
other natural history exhibits.
If pop history is more your style, head to the World of Coca-Cola, a AAA
GEM attraction, to find out the background behind one of the planet’s
most famous fizzy drinks. You still won’t know the secret ingredients, but
you can witness advertising at its best and sample some 40 varieties of
Coke products from around the world.
Nearly next door is the brand-new Georgia Aquarium, where you can
peek in on 50,000 marine animals and about 100,000 fish, including
gigantic whale sharks that were transported to the aquarium aboard a
UPS aircraft.
Also behind glass are busy news anchors and reporters at One CNN
Center. The Inside CNN Atlanta tour takes you behind the scenes to see
the inner workings of one of the biggest cable TV networks.
Midtown Atlanta is home to many of the city’s cultural attractions. A must-
see is the High Museum of Art, a AAA GEM attraction. The stark, modern
building houses paintings, sculpture, photographs and decorative arts by
acclaimed artists. The museum also plays host to notable traveling
exhibitions. Nearby, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, adjacent to Piedmont
Park, is a tribute to nature. The lush, 30-acre garden encompasses old
growth forest, a shade garden, a conservatory, greenhouses and a vine
arbor, as well as acres of immaculate formal plantings interspersed with
art and fountains.
Literary art is celebrated at the Margaret Mitchell House and Museum
(catty-corner to Piedmont Park), where the author wrote most of the
award-winning novel that epitomized the Old South. Burned twice since,
the building has been faithfully restored.
Southeast of downtown, explore a few parks: Grant Park is home to Fort
Walker and Zoo Atlanta, a AAA GEM attraction. With the focus on the
well-being of its residents at this animal park, a maze of pathways keeps
humans in check while gorillas and giraffes run free in nature-inspired
exhibit areas. Pandas, kangaroos, zebras and tortoises also reside at the
zoo.
Nearby is a park of a different sort, Turner Field, where you can see the
dugout, clubhouse and press box on guided tours of the Braves’ ballpark
with Turner Field Tours and the Ivan Allen Jr. Braves Museum and Hall of
Fame. North of Grant Park is the Historic Oakland Cemetery. Besides
being the city’s third-largest green space, the grounds contain Gothic
Revival and neoclassic tombs and statuary. Of the nearly 70,000 graves,
about 6,900 are Confederate soldiers, and other headstones mark the
final resting places for Margaret Mitchell and golfer Bobby Jones.
History was made in Atlanta’s Sweet Auburn neighborhood, just north of
Oakland Cemetery. This African-American community is where Civil
Rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lived and preached. The Martin
Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, a AAA GEM attraction,
encompasses the two-story Victorian home where he was born, and the
modest Ebenezer Baptist Church, in which he took to the pulpit with his
father to preach about love, equality and peace. Steps away is The
Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, home to Dr.

King’s tomb and exhibits about his life and work. A visit here really brings
home the enormous influence King had on race relations.
North of downtown are two AAA GEM attractions that offer a glimpse into
Southern antebellum history. Exhibits at the Atlanta History Center focus
on the Civil War, folk art and Atlanta’s early days, and outbuildings
include historic properties restored to their original splendor. In Roswell,

find the Archibald Smith Plantation Home, an 1845 estate with 12
outbuildings on its 300 acres. Owned by one of the town’s founders, the
plantation house contains original family furnishings and valuable
antiques.
Visible east of the city, Stone Mountain Park, a AAA GEM attraction, is
definitely worth a day trip. The expansive, shaded park surrounds Stone
Mountain, on which are etched larger-than-life images of Jefferson Davis,
Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson and Robert E. Lee on horseback. Ascend to
the top of the rock peak via the Summit Skyride and take in panoramic

century working plantation.
A warning: No child will want to pass up a day at Six Flags Over Georgia,
another AAA GEM attraction. The theme park, west of the city in Austell,
has more than 100 thrill rides and about 10 stomach-churning roller
coasters.

Events
In addition to its many cultural and historic landmarks, this destination
hosts a number of outstanding festivals and events that may coincide
with your visit. GEMs are “Great Experiences for Members.”
When little white flower clusters start blooming on dogwood trees, you
know spring has come to Atlanta. There’s really no better way to
celebrate than to attend the Dogwood Festival at Piedmont Park in early
April. The arts and crafts festival has taken place since 1936 at the
beginning of spring, when the trees are at their prettiest. In addition to a
chance to admire the delicate blooms, the event includes an artists’
market, hot air balloon floats and a disc dog competition.
