"The titanic Sears, Roebuck & Co. building (1926) on the newly revitalised BeltLine in the Old Fourth Ward neighbourhood is one of the largest buildings in the Southeast United States. After Sears moved out in 1987, the city of Atlanta took up residence before the site was sold off in 2011 to be turned into this amazing shopping, dining, entertainment and residential space. The soul of Ponce City Market is in the Central Food Hall, which is along the same lines as Manhattan’s Chelsea Market for its globetrotting jumble of grab-and -go food stalls, sit-down restaurants and market vendors specialising in cheese, fresh bread, spices and fish."

"It’s a big commercial playground that was converted from an old, unoccupied Sears building, and it offers everything from food courts to film events to mini-golf courses on the roof.

"An indisputable Atlanta icon since 1955, Waffle House traces its roots to a modest storefront in Avondale Estates that is now the Waffle House Museum. Road trip fuel or recovery aid, every Waffle House but the outpost in Turner Field is open 24 hours a day to satisfy that craving for hashbrowns, cheese n’ eggs, or waffles."
