Food Scene
Great seafood and burgers, try the combo tacos. Rooftop view over Oakland Cemetery. Good walkable take-out option too, pick up at the bar. Or order take-out at the bar, drink a beer while you wait, take your meal home. You'll probably encounter wait times on the weekends; they have a "nowait" app so you can claim your place in line. See their website. Definitely walk there.

One of my favorite restaurants/bars in Atlanta, romantic, choose from $10-$15ish sandwiches or $20ish entrees. Great desserts. Good brunch too. Walk isn't bad except for crossing over Boulevard. If you drive parking can be a pain on Carroll St.

Who doesn't love Chick-Fil-A? Closed Sundays. Very busy/popular although the drive through line will move pretty quickly. Try the Buffalo sauce on your sandwich instead of BBQ/Polynesian - it's great.

Popular/hip coffee house, good pastries from Little Tart Bakeshop. They also do cocktails and beer/wine until 10 PM. Definitely walk here, it's probably a 3 minute walk. DON'T use the Marietta St address Google Maps/Airbnb gives you here - it's incorrect and I can't fix it. The correct address of the Octane Coffee Bar close to the apartment is:
437 Memorial Dr SE A5, Atlanta, GA 30312. It's behind 6 Feet Under in the same building.

Parks & Nature
The Park is great. To get there walking take Loomis south to Bryan, right on Bryan, left on Cherokee. Walk over I-20 and past a couple houses and restaurants and you're there. If you're walking don't take Boulevard, the Cherokee route described above is much better. There are athletic fields, tennis courts, large paved walkways for bike-riding/walking, a playground, a pool, lots of trees. On sunday mornings you can visit the Grant Park Farmer's market. Zoo Atlanta makes up most of the southern part of the park.
