Atlanta is a city steeped in history and sweetened with culture. From the Martin Luther King Jr. Historical Site to the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum, the city is a living, breathing text book. Despite being burned to the ground in the Civil War—a travesty it’s long since recovered from—the “new capital of the South” fearlessly welcomed the Olympic Flame in 1996. But that’s not all it’s known for. Peachtree Street, Atlanta’s main thoroughfare, pulses with life; the Fox Theater, a legendary movie house, Symphony Tower, and the home of author Margaret Mitchell are all located along this main drag. Hotels are everywhere—luxury sky-rises and charming inns. Start the day with eggs, grits and bacon, stroll through (or sprint if you’re pressed for time) the 180-acre Piedmont Park, then enjoy some soul food for lunch. Fancy and casual, busy and laid-back—the city’s variety is as rich as its cultural diversity.

The new and improved site still showcases more than a thousand artifacts and allows visitors to sample over 70 beverages, but also offers a 4D movie experience and an exhibit devoted to Coke and pop culture.

Atlanta Insider-tips

1.	See the North Georgia Mountains and Waterfalls North of Atlanta Nature enthusiasts find it worthwhile to rent a car and drive roughly an hour north to see the North Georgia Mountains and Waterfalls.

3.	Rent a Bike at Skate Escape With so many museums, theaters and attractions to choose from, visitors often forget to cheer on the local teams. A trip to Bobby Dodd stadium is exciting for everyone, whether you know what a post-possession foul is or not. Don’t buy from a scalper because you might get scammed, but catch a game if you can. The football team is the first to win all four bowls—Orange, Sugar, Cotton and Rose. The stadium holds 55,000 people and is located at historic Grant Park, accessible by MARTA. Midtown, 155 North Ave., N.W. « skjul
4.	See a Georgia Tech University Yellow Jackets football game at Bobby Dodd Stadium With so many museums, theaters and attractions to choose from, visitors often forget to cheer on the local teams. A trip to Bobby Dodd stadium is exciting for everyone, whether you know what a post-possession foul is or not. Don’t buy from a scalper because you might get scammed, but catch a game if you can.

Midtown, 155 North Ave., N.W. « skjul
5.	Avoid the Underground—It’s a Tourist Trap Locals seem to agree that the Underground isn’t worth visiting. The shopping and entertainment plaza caters largely to tourists, pulling them in with the promise of specialty stores, varied dining options and a thriving nightlife in Kenny’s Alley. The restaurants are mostly chains, and the food is known to be just OK. The stores are fairly standard for a mall and, overall, the area doesn’t live up to the hype. If you do decide to make the trip, do a little people watching and sight seeing, but don’t stay after dark. « skjul
6.	Atlanta Neighborhoods to Avoid Urban sprawl has been changing the city’s worst neighborhoods into its best, but there are still a few places that aren’t the safest. Vine City, the area surrounding Georgia Dome, sees frequent police patrols. Bankhead, surrounded by West End, Vine City and Grove Park is better left unexplored. The Underground, a shopping complex in Downtown’s Five Points, is another risky area. Downtown in general can be dangerous at night; don’t take the MARTA alone and stay in well-lit areas. Remember what Mom told you and don’t talk to strangers—there are a lot of hustlers in Atlanta. « skjul
7.	Don’t Drive Within Atlanta City traffic is never fun, but Atlanta breeds road rage with—what seems like—an around the clock rush hour. It’s best to avoid the major interstates before 9:30 AM and between 4:00 and 8:00 PM. Drivers do not proceed with caution at blinking yellow lights or adhere to most well-known road rules. Since the city is fairly spread out, taking cabs back and forth can get a little pricey. Cab drivers charge a flat fee of $6 to go from one spot in Midtown to another; it works the same in Buckhead. Check the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) websites for routes and schedules. « skjul

The mod second level bar, furnished with velvet couches, serves a killer martini to enjoy fireside. As for the third floor—well, if you’re not a VIP or willing to act like one, you best stay on the bottom two levels.
