One of my best friends from California comes to visit me every year. It was her first time visiting in the winter and we got so lucky with the weather. I always look forward to taking her to my new favorite spots. Some she loves so much we go over and over and others are new!
Let’s get right to it! Here’s what to do, see, and eat for a memorable girl’s weekend in Atlanta!
Where to Eat
BeetleCat Donut Brunch Located in Inman Park right off the Atlanta Beltline, BeetleCat donut brunch is not to be missed. If you like chocolate that least bit, you have to order one if not two of the O.D.B. donuts. It’s the best donut I’ve had in Atlanta!
West Egg there is always at least an hour wait, but if you’re not starving to death it’s worth it! Breakfast is also served until 5pm so that’s a win!
Emrald City Bagels If you’re ever craving a bagel in Atlanta, ECB has you covered! I’m obsessed with their veggie cream cheese.
Upbeet is someplace I could probabally go everyday for the rest of my life. The food is so fresh and there are so many options for breakfast and lunch! Guac It Out is my favorite.
One Eared Stag Two words, dumpster salad! You have to order one for each of you with a side of fries. The salad cancles out the fries anyway, right? Quite possibly the best and most unique salad in Atlanta. Have you had it yet?
Nuevo Laredo Cantina Not sure if a better queso and salsa exist. Odly enough there isn’t a Mexican restaurant in Califronia that has queso like the south, so make sure to take them here!
Antico I’m convinced you won’t find better pizza anywhere else! Enjoy Little Italia on the westside or order your favorite pizza to go and cuddle up and watch a chick flick. Either way it’s a must!
El Felix at The Battery There are several resturants in the new Braves stadium. El Felix is one of my favorites and their margaritas and enchalidas aren’t to be missed!
JCT Kitchen Home of the best French fries!
Revolution Donuts Our goal is to try every donut shop in Atlanta! We’re close…maybe after the next visit?
Things to Do
Atlanta Beltline Start at Ponce City Market and head to Krog Street Market along the Atlanta Beltline. Enjoy light bites and cocktails along the way.
Jackson Street Bridge for some fun photos. There are so many photo ops around the city. What are your favorite places to take photos?
Go to a concert or see a show. Atlanta has several concert venues, so there is always something fun to do!
The Battery Even if the Braves aren’t playing at home, The Battery is not to be missed! Play games at Punch Bowl Social or ride the mechanical bull and dance the night away at PBR. Whichever you choose you will be sure to have a great time!
Mercedes-Benz Stadium Catch an Atlanta United soccer game, or a Falcons football game! The new stadium is amazing and there’s something for everyone.
Skyline Park Atlanta Play games or go have brunch and drinks on the rooftop at Ponce City Market.
Hotel Clermont The rooftop is not to be missed and is open Thursday – Sunday!
Go Shopping! My favorite spots are Buckhead Atlanta, Lenox, Shops Around Lenox, and Avalon
Zoo Atlanta Such a fun place to visit on a nice day! Make sure you plan ahead and catch some of the feedings.
Do you have a girlfriend you travel with every year?
She just left and we’re already planning our next girls’ trip!
