Today, another page from my summer album:
An airplane ride is a promise of adventure...even if it's just a brief trip. |
Welcome to Atlanta, Georgia! |
It was more of a food trip, really. Lunches composed of sweet tea, fried green tomatoes... |
...and scrambled eggs with grits & a biscuit on the side. A satisfying meal from The Flying Biscuit Cafe. |
Pickled vegetables and mini biscuits to whet the appetite at Southern Art, Chef Art Smith's restaurant. |
Followed by scrumptious fried chicken and waffles. |
A visit to the farmer's market is definitely on the agenda. |
Fruit tarts for two, please. |
And on another day, the Food Truck Park... |
...for some lunch and a sigh-inducing gelato. |
After all that eating, it's time to gather inspiration!
New and vintage finds at Paris on Ponce. |
It's a warehouse-like space with dreamy rooms and delightful details. |
I loved the the Westside Provisions District, a relatively new development with unique shops that meet anyone's needs, whether it's food, fashion, crafts, exercise or interior design. |
Atlanta is also associated with Coca-Cola. Didn't join the tour, but popped into the gift shop and found these:
T-shirts made out of plastic bottles |
Bags and clutches made of soda tabs |
Pouches with wrist handles made of recycled plastic |
Pens made from recycled car parts and sunglasses made from plastic bottles. Aren't these TADA!? |
A cosmopolitan city that hasn't lost its Southern charm -- that's how I would describe Atlanta. I can't wait to return!
