Food Scene
Imagine a GIANT food hall where a good portion of the restaurants are owned by James Beard award winning chefs. It's seriously good. Some locations are eat-in, others are take-out only, and some even have prepared food in a cooler that you can grab if you're in a rush beyond all rushes. There are also a handful of retail shops which are worth checking out while you meander around.

Entertainment & Activities
It was hard to choose a category for this one... If you can't tell by the title, you can get copious amounts of Atlantan distilled wine. Try a tasting, grab a meal, OR (and this is our favorite) you can do both of those things while watching a live concert or classic movie.
