Historic Sites in Atlanta

"Over 35 acres just east of Downtown Atlanta, the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park is dotted with places tied to Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement in Atlanta. By the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change you can pay your respects at the tomb of MLK and his wife Coretta Scott King, which sits at the centre of a reflecting pool, with an eternal flame burning close by."

"You can’t talk about Atlanta without mentioning its significance to the Civil Rights Movement, and Martin Luther King Jr. played a major role in that. His “park” celebrates his legacy with museums, monuments, archives, resource centers and other important and informative places of interest regarding his life and his cause. The centerpiece of the park is the tomb of Dr. King and his wife."

"Center for Non-Violent Social Change honors Dr. King's life and reflects love, justice and peace. Both Dr. and Mrs. King's remains are housed in a crypt on the grounds, with an eternal flame. Freedom Hall houses a foyer displaying African art and exhibits paying homage to Rosa, Parks, Mahatma Gandhi and the Kings."

"This Romanesque-style home is a rare surviving example of the mansions that once lined Atlanta’s fashionable Peachtree Street.

"Address: 1994 Hosea L Williams Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30317 Site: http://www.dulcevegan.com Phone: 1 404-624-7417 $. Plant-based bakery and café, Dulce Vegan is a cozy space worth checking out in the east end of Atlanta. Though baked vegan treats might be hard to come by in the city, there is no shortage of them here."

"We made the mistake of not trying any of Dulce Vegan Cafe & Bakery’s baked goods, mostly because we started with donuts and were ending with dessert. Instead, we opted to try their breakfast sandwiches. The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin turned out to be fantastic."

"Vegan and allergan-free baked treats are on display at Dulce, where you’ll often find fancy rainbow cakes and wildly colored cupcakes. But the ooey, gooey cinnamon rolls are a multi-napkin experience not to miss. The cakes, pies and tortes are great here."

"Here’s what one Google reviewer says about White Oak Kitchen: “I was staying in a hotel adjacent to this restaurant and went in for a late night bite and drink with my wife. We just wanted an appetizer and drinks but, what a creative selection, it was hard to choose just a few things. We got some wine and a couple of cocktails and the charred broccoli and carrots."
