Midtown

W Hotel

188 14th St NW 404-892-6000

Slick digs indeed at the MARTA-friendly, hopping hotel. Chill at Bliss Spa, mull over a muddled strawberry mojito in the Living Room lounge, or drop cash at the well-edited boutique downstairs.

Piedmont Park

1071 Piedmont Ave NE 404-875-7275

Hosting doggy days to jazz fests, the park remains the city’s big green oasis. Pack a basket for a picnic, fill up at the green market, and soak in the sun. There are plenty of grassy knolls to go around.

Fab'rik

1114 W Peachtree St NW 404-881-8223

Styling tips, eye-catching jewelry, and some of the best boutique parties around. Except for the designer denim, most everything rings in under 100 bucks.

Blake's on the Park

227 10th St NE 404-892-5786

Tater tots and ta-tas. At least that’s what the regulars (and anyone looking for potent cocktails, dance remixes, and some of the best shows in the city) swear by.

Stonehurst Place B&B

923 Piedmont Ave NE 404-881-0722

An ecologically sound bed and breakfast with all the midcentury glamour of a Betty Draper getup. Vintage handbags in the front parlor, showers the size of small apartments, and a mean daily tea service.
