The Grant Cottage Experience
Neighborhoods
Grant Park was the first neighborhood to be rebuilt after the Civil War with brick streets, ancient trees, and a remarkable zoo. The neighborhood is populated with artists, writers, families with children, and some of the most interesting folks in Atlanta!

Many of the restaurants I like to share is in this hubbub of excitement where you can walk, enjoy restaurants, sit in bars, and people-watch. Atlanta has become the number one film capital of America and many movies, shorts, and series are filmed here. Inman Park is the Hollywood of Georgia where you will spot faces you recognize. Remember that they are people coming out after work just like us and like to be allowed privacy, but it is exciting to spot some of your favorites.

Midtown is where you will find our gorgeous Piedmont Park, home to a myriad of music, art, and food festivals from spring through fall. Several of the restaurants I have recommended are in this neighborhood as well, as the very fun La Campagnolo Restaurant which offers a sing-along-piano bar on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 PM to 12;30 AM. It is a mixed crowd of gay, straight, and advocates. And so much fun.
