Highland Bakery has an excellent brunch- our favorites are the sweet potato pancakes and the fried chicken benedict! This restaurant also doubles as a cafe bakery, and there are many enticing goodies at the front.

No Mas is an excellent Mexican restaurant, and the patio has a neat ambience. While you wait for a table, you can browse the hacienda showroom on site or grab a drink at the Adios Cafe connected to No Mas.

We love Park Tavern, especially in the evenings, because you get a fantastic view of the city while you eat/hang out! It's a great spot to watch an Atlanta sunset. We like the food a lot, and the menu is varied enough to suit any mood or diet. Sometimes they have live bands, which are fun- for some big events a ticket is required in advance to go.
Connected to Piedmont Park, Park Tavern is an easy place to wrap up your time exploring. Also, if it rains they do $2 drafts.

Pittypat's has some of the best fried chicken we have ever found. Aside from that, there is a smorgasbord of Southern sides set up salad-bar style to accompany your meal. (Note, this isn't a "cheap" restaurant, entrees are $20-$30).

Even though Cypress is better known for its bar and $3 house beers, we like to go for happy hours on Fridays (5-7 pm) to make a dinner out of the half-price apps.

This is one of our favorite spots! Walking distance from our place, this local brewery has awesome food (the Wu Fries and burgers are excellent). Not only is Torched Hop a great restaurant/brewery, but it is a fun place to hang out- bocce ball, Nintendo 64 Mario Kart, shuffleboard, board games, etc.

Sightseeing
Commemorating the 1996 Olympic Games held in Atlanta, Centennial remains a local hotspot. It is a central point to many tourist attractions, like the Aquarium, World of Coke, and the ferris wheel. There's a little fountain show set to music that goes off every few hours. This place also has a giant Christmas tree in December!

Parks & Nature
Piedmont Park is on the Atlanta Beltline, and there is always something going on here! It's huge, and attracts joggers, photographers, tourists, etc. If you've seen "What to Expect When You're Expecting" you may recognize the scenes from the dads' walking group ;)
(Note, the map keeps pulling up "Piedmont Park Greystone," which is the conservatory. We haven't been there, but Piedmont Park is so large this address would still get you to the area).
