High Museum of Art is a great place to stop between meals. I enjoyed "Leonardo da Vinci: Hand of the Genius" featuring a massive bronze Sforza horse cast using his design.
Find my 15 Top Tastes of Atlanta Metro Food + Drink from my 2012 trip, listed in alphabetical order. Four establishments are beyond the I-285 perimeter, but no problem. You’re resourceful, and the stops on the fringes are worth extra effort.
Cakes & Ale[CLOSED]
Billy Allin’s restaurant near Decatur’s main square is a leading example of New Southern cuisine, with seasonal products and decor that wipes away proof of the space’s former life as a medical lab. Expect wood floors, cushioned booths, art lines walls and a blue-grey color scheme. Cakes & Ale is no Italian restaurant, but Chef Allin still incorporated bright citrus, fennel pollen and sharp molten Pecorino into his Arancini, which sport crispy brown panko crusts.
Cakes & Ale Bakery[CLOSED]
Billy Allin’s adjacent bakery-cafe contains banquette and counter seating and a jam packed pastry display that’s truly inspiring. I filled a box to take on the plane back to L.A., including earthy Sweet Potato Pumpkin Bar that was basically a pie in bar form, with earthy “filling,” a dollop of gooey marshmallow and candied ginger.
Three Romanian electrical engineers with a passion for coffee own this coffeehouse in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward. They’ve got premium equipment at their disposal, including a La Marzocco espresso machine and four-cone pourover bar. Condesa started with Intelligentsia, but switched to Counter Culture in 2011. I tried cold brew, espresso and pourover, and my favorite sips were of the Gloria Tejada Microlot from Popayan, Colombia, a lighter, brighter pourover coffee. Since coffee is seasonal, this particular coffee may be gone by the time you visit, but based on my experience, I’m confident you’ll still get good cup.
