The historical attractions, more specifically the capitol building staircase. It’s beautiful...

Island Delight.

In my opinion, the best food in Montgomery that just so happens to be Jamaican.

The Capital City Club The biggest vantage point in the city... eat, drink, and watch the sunset.

Dexter Avenue - I've never encountered such a concentration of historical events in one area.

Prevail Union has the best cup of coffee in town and it shows with the community they've built.

The Alabama Shakespeare Festival is always an opportunity to experience the magic of the stage.
