"The High is one of the biggest and best museums in the Southeast, the kind of place Yayoi Kusama might bring her Infinity Mirrors, alongside a permanent collection of some 17,000 works. The campus stands out in Midtown, Atlanta's arts district, with buildings by bold-faced names like Renzo Piano and Richard Meier. Inside, you'll find a bit of everything: photography; decorative arts; classic European and American works; photographs by Dawoud Bey."

"The High Museum of Art lives up to its name by serving as one of the elite art destinations of Atlanta, Georgia. Not only does it have a highly sculptural building with white concrete wrapping around atriums and cutaway cubes, but its hallways are filled with a gorgeous natural light that only adds to the majesty of its exhibits. As for the exhibits themselves, you’ll be amazed at some of the famous works that the museum has managed to snag."

"Keep on walking and you’ll eventually hit Piedmont Park, Atlanta’s answer to Central Park. Think: more biking and walking trails, a serene lake, meadows for flying kites and throwing frisbees, and terrific views of the downtown skyline. Just don’t get too comfortable—you’ve got a two-mile walk back to Krog Street Market, where you can dig into puffy tacos at Superica, a buzzy Tex-Mex joint from ATL's kingpin restaurateur Ford Fry, or check out one of the beloved nearby restaurants. Ammazza is heaven for Neapolitan pizza and craft beer; Staplehouse is a decidedly fancier affair, offering both a tasting menu and elegant a la carte options."

The people are cool and the food is great, especially the the excellent Southern Slam Burger with a loaded baked potato on the side."
