Visitor’s Guide
Friends and family,
We’re very thankful that you’re able to attend our wedding, and can’t wait to see you in Atlanta. It’s a special city for us, and we’re very excited to share this place with so many people we love!
We lived in Atlanta for many years, and love a lot of places. Below you can find some of our favorites.
Keep in mind, Atlanta Pride is happening at the same time as our wedding. We’ll be there on Sunday for the parade, so if you can stick around, we’d love to trot down Peachtree St. with you.
Food + Drink
Homegrown: Down home cooking. Get the Comfy Chicken Biscuit, it’s Michelin Guide recommended. Plus, it’s damn tasty.
Gaja: Where punks go to eat Korean food. Get the somek, a beer, and soju shot combo. The scallion pancakes are mwah.
Kimball House: The city’s best restaurant. Think old school-style steakhouse. Great oysters. Incredible cocktails, and wine list.
Staplehouse: Al fresco neighborhood market. Get the Italian Grinder, some paté, a bottle of wine, and take it to the backyard.
Wrecking Bar: Gastropub in an old Victorian mansion. Locally sourced food, including from their own farm. Great bar.
Talat Market: Best Thai in town. Went from a pop-up to a James Beard winner. They have their own coconut crushing machine. Enough said.
El Tesoro: Tex-Mex taqueria with the largest outdoor patio in the city. Great for people watching.
Ticonderoga Club: Our favorite bar, our favorite restaurant, our favorite staff. An institution. Get anything, and everything. Tell ‘em Saša sent ya.
Victory (Inman Park): Great watering hole tucked in off the BeltLine. Get a few tiny sandwiches and some boozy slushies, and sit on the patio.
Bread & Butterfly: Parisian-inspired bistro with the best omelette in town by day, and Haitian-inspired fare by night.
The Albert: Go-to-no-frills burger, loaded Brussels sprouts, inattentive bartenders—super comfy.
Lloyd’s Restaurant & Lounge: 70’s inspired-Jersey-style spot with spaghetti, fried fish platters, and cheap domestic suds with buds.
Pollo Primo: The best tacos in town (LA-style). Get the whole bird if you’re feeling frisky. We think about this place daily.
Lucian Books and Wine: Imagine a wine bar surrounded by bookshelves of fancy Phaidon art books. Fantastic service. Makes you feel rich.
Fishmonger: Fresh, daily flown-in fish from the Florida Keys. Tit for tat the best seafood spot in town.
The Deer and the Dove: Farmer-centered rustic spot. Michelin Star, James Beard Award, Slow Food stalwarts.
