Centennial Olympic Park
The Centennial Olympic Park is a 21-acre legacy of the 1996 Olympic Games. Concerts and special events are held throughout the year. The fountain is a popular summertime spot for kids in bathing suits. This isn't the world's grandest or grassiest park, but there's plenty of room to toss a ball or have a picnic.

Entertainment on offer includes regular live music performances, screenings of big football (round ball version) matches from Europe and, of course, Irish-American 'craic'.

Lulu's Chocolate Bar
The heavenly signature Lulutini here is pure chocolate decadence - we weren't afraid to lick the glass. This adorable yet chic neighborhood martini and dessert bar is comfortable and has outdoor seating. Sometimes there's live music. On Sundays it serves brunch with shrimp and grits and has a Bloody Mary bar.

WG's
Feeling more like a hobbit house than a bar, this rustic-chic dive bar will put you in the company of thirsty locals, not rowdy tourists. Order an unusual beer (Celebrator, anyone?) and head out to the cozy verandah. Or shoot pool.

Mary's
Head upstairs to the ratty couch if you want to sit and talk at Mary's, a scruffy-chic East Atlanta dive. But the action is downstairs, a narrow space with room for a bar and a campy karaoke night known, naturally, as Mary-oke.

Halo
If you can find this sexy industrial lounge, which is tucked into the north side of the Biltmore building, you're cool enough to chill on the space-age furniture, and to drink at a glowing marble bar that resembles hot lava.
