This french inspired cafe is my favorite lunch spot to take a book and sip on espresso. The decor will transport you to Paris instantly, and the lunch prices aren't too bad. Dinner can get expensive though.

Entertainment & Activities
This boutique movie theatre plays Indie films and those that won't be found at the larger Cineplex. It's clean and attracts a somewhat older crowd. It is about a 20 minute drive depending on traffic, but always worth it to me.

Essentials
4.9 miles from the house. This is my go-to for groceries and home goods if it isn't high traffic time. I recommend going between 10 am-3 pm or after 8 pm. It's clean, safe, and has Chik-fil-A next door which is always a plus.

Getting Around
I recommend using Uber or Lyft if you can, because sometimes the Marta can be "sketchy." But if budget is most important, the Marta (metro) station closest to the house- 0.9 miles or 2 minute drive.

Arts & Culture
Great for everyone, but especially families! I adore this natural history museum. There is 75 acres of outdoor natural trails with hands on exhibitions, 3D films, and many permanent exhibits. Definitely set aside at least 3-4 hours to make the most of a trip here.
