Mary Mac’s Tea Room 🍗 | This was probably my favorite meal. The fried chicken was juicy & tender and the complimentary biscuit was so flaky. While I wish the fried chicken skin were a bit crispier, this was the best fried chicken I had out of 3. |
South City Kitchen | These were my favorite cheesy grits of the trip-- a good amount of soft and creamy. |
JCT Kitchen | All around good food. I loved the Brussels sprouts. The fried chicken skin was perfect, but the meat wasn’t as juicy as Mary Mac’s. |
Ebrick Coffee Room | Decent latte. The shop was poppin with college students on a weekday morning. |
Octane | Ok latte. They also have beer on tap and trendy decor. |
Atlanta Breakfast Club 🍳 | Indulgent greasy-spoon brunch. I had some really lovely breakfast tacos wrapped in French-toast-ified tortillas. |
West Egg Cafe | Solid shrimp & grits |
Sublime Donuts | I only got the chance to try the signature “A-Town” donut. It was a basic Boston cream donut, but still good. |
Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams | Fun flavors! I had brambleberry and Bangkok peanut. The consistency was fairly creamy, but I prefer my ice creams more custardy. |
Tiff’s Treats | Really delightful cookies. They have that great crispy edge, with a soft and slightly chewy center. |
The Varsity | “The orange drink” was not what I expected. I hated creamsicle flavored things when growing up, but the more I drank “the orange drink”, the more it grew on me. |
Westside Provisions District | Outdoor shopping center. There are a few cute boutiques with Atlanta-made things, as well as bougie retailers like Lululemon. |
Museum of Civil Rights | I really wish I had time to visit. |
The Cheetah | Great strip club recommended by my Georgia tech friends. Female patrons are not shunned and the cover is only $5. On a Wednesday night, there were at least 15 dancers at any time, and they rotated out every 10-15 minutes. |
