Utopia

840 Marietta St NW
Atlanta, GA 30318

Bill S. writes: I went to Utopia last night for the weekly Yelp Happy Hour social. The special was $5 tapas and martinis. Martini purists would scoff at that because the specials were actually for fruity drinks served in Martini glasses, but, ever so secure in my…

Atlanta State Farmers Market

16 Forest Pkwy
Forest Park, GA 30298

Susan V. writes: Anyone who hasn't heard of or been to this place will be in for a real treat. This farmer's market is the real deal. It's all outdoors and the farmers themselves are doing the wheelin' and dealin' with customers. There are so many fresh crops to…

Chinese Culture Center

5377 New Peachtree Rd
Atlanta, GA 30341

Alex L. writes: I've grown up around the Chinatown shopping center and CCC. During the week, CCC is moderately quiet and it's mostly teachers and maintenance people that are there. However, on the weekends it is completely different.

Sempre Coffee

4715 South Atlanta Road
Smyrna, GA 30080

Mary B. writes: I LOVE this coffee spot. I used to go to Starbucks every morning but made a stop here one morning and I don't think I'll ever go back. The service was great and the owner is so nice!

Candler Park Golf Course
Neighborhood: Candler Park

585 Candler Park Dr
Atlanta, GA 30307

Michael B. writes: This review is kind of a preservation project, for I believe Candler Park is about to lose some of its Pasture Golf charm (http://www.pasturegolf...).

In other words, the grounds are starting to get too nice.

Here's what I love about Candler Park…

Marietta National Cemetary

500 Washington Ave
Marietta, GA 30060

Edgewood Ave & Delta Pl
Atlanta, GA 30307

30 Minutes in THE…

The Atlanta White House

3687 Briarcliff Rd NE
Atlanta, GA 30345

Ivan S. writes: I put off writing about this for a long time because I wanted to actually go into it before I did. But seeing as how they only let people in during the holidays (the ones in December) and how July 4th is coming up, I decided to go ahead and write…

Tech Square
Neighborhood: Midtown

79 5th St NW
Atlanta, GA 30308

Little Five Points
Neighborhood: Little Five Points

Moreland Ave NE and Euclid Ave NE
Atlanta, GA 31136

Lauren S. writes: One of my favorite areas of Atlanta. Yeah it's changed a lot, yeah there's some weird people, but it is probably one of the most artistic, unique, crazy areas of town. Lots of good bars to go to, divey ones, taverns, places you can sit and have a…

Wired & Fired A Pottery Playhouse
Neighborhood: Virginia Highlands

994 Virginia Avenue NE
Atlanta, GA 30306

Jennifer M. writes: First off, this place is a little pricey. BUT it's not too bad and a ridiculous amount of fun. I went there this past weekend and now have a happily colored tumbler. If you get something functional (like a plate or a tumbler) then the price evens…

Cathedral of Christ the King
Neighborhood: Buckhead

2699 Peachtree Rd NE
Atlanta, GA 30305

Thunderbox Rehearsal Studios

728 Ralph McGill Blvd
Atlanta, GA 30312

Blake B. writes: Thunderbox is a rather large warehouse set up to allow band to rehearse 24/7 in an easy access, comortable location. The rooms are large and not too stuffy and can fit several bands per room (4 bands share the space I use) which makes the rent quite…

Fuller's Park

3050 Robinson Rd
Marietta, GA 30068

Esther Peachy Lefevre Park
Neighborhood: Cabbagetown

Wylie St at Powell St SE
Atlanta, GA 30312

Atlanta, GA 30309

J. D. writes: I've been scratching my head over this one ever since its inception a couple of years ago. Brand Atlanta with its slogan: "Atlanta, Everyday is opening day" leaves me befuddled. This brainchild of Mayor Franklin and some over paid ad agency is…
