"Garden of the Lights"

Q: Baked goods are on everyone’s mind this time of year. Name your favorite go-to bakery.

A: Henri's in Buckhead. They carry amazing petit-fours that are little cakes with icing and flowers on them.

Q: Where can you pick up an authentic craft cocktail?

A: Seven Lamps, they have some of the

best mixologists. I'm not much of a cocktail drinker, so they construct drinks based off of the flavors I like.

Q: Name an adventurous way to enjoy the changing of the leaves.

A: Amicalola Falls in Dawsonville, Red Top Mountain, Ellijay and the Blue Ridge Mountains. Honestly, if you just head anywhere to the North Georgia mountains you'll get the best views of the changing leaves.

Enjoying a cup of tea may seem oldfashioned, but tea time is making a comeback with millennials— especially here in Atlanta—as tea houses across the city are starting to gather steam. With each spot providing its own twist, these tea destinations serve a variety of different cultures’ take on tea.

STEEPED IN TEA LORE Need a tune-up on your tea knowledge? Here are seven facts every tea drinker should know.

1. Origin All tea comes from one plant— the Camellia sinensis. caption Teas from Just Add Honey

Atlanta’s Best Tea Service

JESSA’S TEA PARLOR | WOODSTOCK The best part about this mother-daughter owned parlor is the overflowing creativity that fills the room. It encompasses handmade table napkins at each place setting, teacups and pincushions for sale in the gift shop and the menu made from scratch. jessasteaparlor.com TEA LEAVES & THYME | WOODSTOCK A staple teahouse for almost two decades, revel in decadent family recipes that make

each personalized experience truly oneof-a-kind, in addition to custom place cards at the table, tea hats, an extensive tea list and great gift shop. tealeavesandthyme.com DR. BOMBAY’S UNDERWATER TEA PARTY | CANDLER PARK This blend of eclectic décor and gracious customer service includes a quality tea selection, a closeto-perfection family recipe for clotted cream and service at a doable price point.

Sip with a purpose— Dr. Bombay’s mission is to pay college tuition and house female scholars in Mandarin Oriental

Darjeeling, India. drbombays.com JUST ADD HONEY | SWEET AUBURN CURB MARKET & HAMMONDS HOUSE MUSEUM The team at Just Add Honey is always in a good mood; it’s probably because they know how good its teas are. The private blends are sourced globally and use only organic and whole ingredients, while the creative menu uses local caterers and bakeries. justaddhoney.net THE MANDARIN ORIENTAL | BUCKHEAD Even though The RitzCarlton’s tea service left the city last year, the menu at this notable luxury hotel has more than filled the void. It delivers a hint of Eastern influence with unique blends such as the Shanghai Rose, handpicked fresh black tea leaves infused with lychee and red rose petals. mandarinoriental.com/ atlanta

tea shop has popped up as well. With more than 100 loose teas, tastings daily and educational classes, Urban Tea is a tea lover’s Starbucks. urbantearoom.com

2. Variety There are more than 3,000 varieties of black, pu-erh, oolong, green, yellow and white tea.

3. Vitamins and minerals Tea is high in vitamins A, B, C and E and minerals such as fluoride, iron, manganese, magnesium, zinc and potassium.

TIPPLE + ROSE TEA PARLOR AND APOTHECARY | VIRGINIA-HIGHLAND A quiet, neighborhood staple for afternoon tea, standout lunch and desserts, this locale offers a unique tea sniffing bar to choose the perfect blend to stay and enjoy or take home. Its menu includes a ridiculously enjoyable Vegan Tea. tippleandrose.com

4. Infusions Herbal infusions called “tisanes” are often caffeine-free (think chamomile, ginger).

JAYIDA CHÉ HERBAL TEA SPOT | EAST ATLANTA The majority of the teas here are herbal tisanes, because the owners source and blend is based on a passion for using herbal teas as natural remedies. Its goal is to blend teas that are “tasty to the palate and beneficial for the body.” jayidache.com

“Atlanta is at the forefront of a trend gradually developing across the country,” said Angela Renals, below, founder of Destination Tea and knower of all things loose leaf and tea tradition. She believes millennials are to thank. “Thirty- and forty-somethings are finding out that afternoon tea is the perfect scrumptious, leisurely get-together for catching up with friends or celebrating special occasions.”

5. Tea “service” Children’s tea sets were originally manufactured as samples for tea-set salesmen.

6. On ice Iced tea was born at the 1904 St. Louis World Fair as a sales tactic.

7. Midday distinction High tea is not the same as afternoon tea —”high tea” was actually the term for the working class supper, a hearty meal at the end of the day.

ATLANTA HAWKS The Hawks are in a rebuilding stage this season, with a promising first-round pick, point guard Trae Young, taking the court for his first NBA season. In keeping with the theme of new beginnings, the Hawks play their home games in the renamed State Farm Arena.

The new moniker isn’t the only big news however, as State Farm Arena’s new Courtside Club features the NBA’s first ever court-side bar.

The Hawks play eight home games in November, including hosting the New York Knicks on Nov. 7, the Toronto Raptors on Nov. 21 and the Boston Celtics on Nov. 23. nba.com/hawks GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS Based in Atlanta, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets often take a back seat to the “Dawgs” but their stadium, the Bobby Dodd Stadium at Grant Field, is located in near downtown Atlanta. The Yellow Jackets host the Miami Hurricanes on Nov. 10. ramblinwreck.com 11

WHERE NOW Atlanta

OPPOSITE: ©ESB PROFESSIONAL/SHUTTERSTOCK. THIS PAGE, TOP: ©PLAZA THEATRE; ALL OTHERS: ©GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

We’ll never call Atlanta “the city that never sleeps” and not just because that title is taken. Our bars close fairly early and the only part of the city that never really stops is the airport. Still, there is plenty to keep you occupied at all hours of the day and night.

10 PM: LATE-NIGHT DELIGHTS No matter what time of day you arrive in Atlanta, there are a handful of eateries where you can indulge well into the night. This is the home of Waffle House, after all. Cook Out has enough locations around town that stay open until 4 and 5 am. Depending on the time of night, you might be standing in line alongside local college students or the post-bar crowd. Fill up with a burger, sides of quesadillas and fries, and, of course, a milkshake for a cheap, latenight feast.

Centennial Park

12 AM: REVELERS WELCOME Every city needs a late-night movie theater and the Plaza Theatre (470.225.6503) in Poncey-Highland is Atlanta’s.

First opened in 1939, it runs independent and classic films, including “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” A screening of the cult classic is held every Friday night at midnight, put on by the fan group Lips Down on Dixie. The theater also hosts special screenings and premieres and has its own cocktail, the Plaza Punch.

2 AM: SING YOUR HEART OUT Still buzzing from your performance at “Rocky Horror,” end the night at a nearby karaoke bar. Fam-Fam (404.328.7070) is set up in the Elevator Factory in Grant Park and stays open until

Plaza Theatre

3 am. You can bring your own alcohol and reserve a room by texting the bar’s phone number. Karaoke costs $10 per person and a minimum of six guests is required. Flying solo?

Head to 10 High (404.873.3607) under Dark Horse Tavern in Virginia-Highland for Metalsome Karaoke instead.

6 AM: CATCH THE SUNRISE If you’re still out, or already up, catch the sunrise on the Jackson Street Bridge, which has the best views of Atlanta and technically never “closes.” You likely won’t be the only one there as it’s a popular spot for snapping Instagram shots. If that’s not enough, the Atlanta BeltLine (404.477.3003) opens at 6 am; start your morning off with a walk through the city’s paved rails-to-trails pathway.

7 AM: FUEL UP FOR THE DAY Open 24 hours in a bustling corner of Buckhead, R. Thomas Deluxe Grill (404.881.0246) is the best place for an earlybird breakfast, open since 1985. Speaking of birds, be

sure to greet the parrots and other feathered friends that live outside the restaurant.

Nearby, Arden’s Garden (404.209.1200) is another great option for a healthful kick-start to the day.

9 AM: TOUR THE TOWN If you’re short on time, focus on the history and important neighborhoods. Start at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site (404.331.5190) to learn about the Atlanta native, then head to Center for Civil and Human Rights (678.999.

8990) in Centennial Olympic Park, which documents both Atlanta’s role in the Civil Rights Movement and modern human rights struggles.

3 PM: FAST-PACED PLAYTIME When you’re ready, head back to the area around the airport to finish your trip. The Delta Flight Museum documents the airline’s history from cropdusting planes to international flights. And the Porsche Experience Center is home to the luxury car maker’s North American headquarters.

Atlanta BeltLine

6 PM: RELAX AND REJUVENATE There’s plenty to see and do within Hartsfield-Jackson. Don’t miss the global cuisine and cocktails at One Flew South at Terminal E or try Xpress Spa at Terminals A and C for massages, manicures and facials.
