It’s heeeeere!! Atlanta Apparel returns today, running until June 11 to offer one final chance for buyers to place their Fall Winter ’22 orders. Lucky enough to be in town for market? Here’s your essential guide to what to do while in ATL.
Food musts
If there is anything Atlanta is known for, besides their knack for Southern hospitality, lavish dress codes, and deep-rooted culture and history, it is their mouth-watering, tender BBQ cuisine, crunchy fried chicken and of course, sweet sweet sweet tea. Craving a slab or slow-smoked ribs? Head over to award-winning Lake & Oak BBQ or Community Q BBQ for a fancy bite in a casual setting!
Shop
You don’t have to travel the world for an international shopping spree, thanks to Atlanta’s very own ANTIDOTE: a retail fashion project that houses cool, avant-garde, contemporary brands like Comme des Garçons, Jil Sander, Junya Watanabe, Mugler, Paco Rabanne, and more.

Stop and smell the roses at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens: a free, fun activity to spice up a romantic date in the city. This 30-acre urban oasis in the heart of Atlanta’s Midtown hosts an orchid house, an edible garden of native plants and Longleaf, a restaurant in one of their contemporary glass botanical gardens.
