"At first glance, Rainey Street looks like a sleepy suburban avenue with quiet wooden verandas and picket fences, but at night, it really wakes up. Here, the craftsman-era bungalow homes, many dating back to the late 19th Century, have been renovated into a string of hipster-friendly bars and restaurants. Wander around and you’ll see food trucks tucked in alongside renowned nightlife spots like  Half Step, Geraldine’s, Lustre Pearl, Emmer & Rye, and Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden. It’s a spot to relax on a porch or picnic table with your kids or your dog during the day, and party with friends or your significant other at night." - Jonathan Thompson, Mandy Ellis
