INSIDER INFO
Insider Info Hot tips to help you find the best places to go and things to do, save money or just help you get the information you need to maximize your stay here.
CONCIERGE CORNER
How can visitors best experience Atlanta’s beautiful spring weather? The best way visitors can experience spring weather is by taking a walk along Atlanta BeltLine. The BeltLine connects all different neighborhoods of our city and has restaurants, art and street performers. Stop and have a great beer in one of the amazing breweries or have a cocktail in one of the unique places along the way.
What are the top places to go for a local experience? A great experience for anyone coming to Atlanta is a city classic, the Atlanta Dogwood
Festival. It showcases the many local artists and it’s family friendly. I also recommend going to one of the best southern restaurants: Mary Mac’s Tea Room. Mary Mac’s is a 75 year old landmark and the food here gives you a taste of the south. As you make your way through our city, stop by Ponce City Market, another historic landmark located in the former Sears Roebuck building. It is now home to many local unique shops, an amazing food hall, a rooftop carnival and rooftop bar that has an amazing view of the city.
Where are the best places for watching sports? One of my favorite sports bars is STATS Brewpub, located right in the heart of Downtown. It has a rooftop deck and is located near Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United FC. STATS has 70 televisions, perfect for watching all your favorite teams. Brewhouse Café is located in an eclectic part of town called Little Five Points, and is a major location to watch Atlanta United FC. If you are looking for excellent food and draft beer in the downtown area, look no further than Park Bar.

and Events in Atlanta Atlanta is known for its spring festivals and events, celebrating the arrival of our most beautiful season. Here are a few can’t-miss annual happenings. BY CAROL CARTER
ATLANTA DOGWOOD FESTIVAL An indisputable sign of spring in Atlanta is the arrival of the Atlanta Dogwood Festival in Piedmont Park. Celebrating its 84th year in 2020, the festival brings juried art, music on two stages, food trucks and a kids’ village to the heart of Midtown, April 17-19. The artists’ market is chock-full of sculpture, painting, pottery, photography and jewelry. Adding to the fun, runners hit the pavement on April 18 in the Mimosa 5K, named for the Mimosa toast at race’s end. We give the festival our highest rating: five dogwood blossoms. www.dogwood.org

This year, Phoenix Flies partnered with 100 organizations to make it possible for visitors to tour places including Westview Cemetery, WERD Radio at the Madame CJ Walker Museum, the Healey Building, Fox Theatre and the Atlanta Women’s Club. Judges voted to bestow five replica Fox Theatre marquees for this worthy event. www.atlantapreservationcenter.com
