The french toast sandwich has a following of it's own. Be sure to arrive early or be prepared for a long line to order food. It's totally worth it though. (FYI no alcohol)

A little further than walking distance for the layman, Dish Dive is a tiny (16-seats inside) restaurant sharing a refurbished home with a barbershop. The food is served in small plates, is inexpensive and crazy elevated. Definitely get the Dive Fries and Pig Belly French Toast. It's BYOB so be sure to grab a 6-pack or bottle of wine first. Pro tip: text them for reservations: 404-957-7918.

Gorgeous and large, Piedmont Park is a regular spot for locals. It's also a common place for movies to be filmed as Atlanta is a growing alternative to Hollywood. There's a dog park, lots of paved sidewalks for walking/running and a pond in the middle of it all. Also check out the Botanical Gardens and Orpheus Brewery.
