Here is what he suggests.Don't hesitate to contact Greg on Twitter @bigcitychase #Atlanta #questionforGreg if you have questions for him, we may publish your conversation in this blog if he thinks it might be useful to other Atlanta visitors.
Greg from Atlanta for Big City Chase Atlanta :
"Hi guys, I was born and raised in Atlanta, moved for grad school and got back here for work a few years ago, and here is the leisure day I suggest so that you can get the most out of Atlanta :
I'd get up early to enjoy sunrise on the skyline. I'd suggest you get to the Jackson street bridge, from there you'll be able to enjoy sunrise on the whole skyline. After that, as it is early morning you may want to get great coffee, as you are in the neighborhood go to Condesa coffee on John Wesley Dobbs Avenue.
After coffee I would advise you to go for a walk on the Krog street market, buy fresh produce there and enjoy the atmosphere.
And lunch time is approaching, well good for you you're at right place already! Go get yaself a
delicious burger at Fred's meat and bread, on 99 Krog St.
After that great lunch, I suggest a little walk and some rest in a place surrounded by nature, the Cascade Springs Nature Preserve. Get on a small and easy trail there. inside the park’s 120 acres of green space, a wide trail network explores a tumbling waterfall, a wildlife-filled forest, and trickling springs that feed the park’s many streams. The hilly forest is a retreat from the surrounding city, and home to wildlife including deer, birds, and turtles. The Cascade Springs Trail departs the parking area trailhead view directions.
