The 17 Best Things to Do in Atlanta

"Atlanta’s affinity for repurposing old buildings is on grand display at this mammoth development along the Atlanta BeltLine. Ponce City Market is somewhere you come for a good time, whether it's shopping at a small boutique, gallery, or larger store, or for a meal or drink in the central food hall. A mix of locally-owned shops, like leather goods store Glad & Young and Souk Bohemian, and well-known brands like Williams-Sonoma and Posman Books make up the composition of the market’s shopping options with something for any budget or desire. You can also pay a fee to ride a freight elevator to the rooftop for carnival games and killer city views. Visitors love Ponce City Market as much as locals do. Taken just at face value, it's an enjoyable way to spend part of the day or evening or as a stop while you stroll the BeltLine. Scratch beneath the surface of functional space, cool shopping, and terrific restaurants, though, and it's a great story of a historic building experiencing a rebirth." - Lia Picard, Jennifer Bradley Franklin
