Serving as the global headquarters for companies like Coca-Cola, The Home Depot, Delta Air Lines, and UPS among others, Atlanta is a great place to call home. Read on for mouth-watering restaurants serving traditional southern fare, some can’t-miss attractions, and a list of high-quality, cross-country Atlanta moving companies.

Southern Food
You can’t go to Atlanta and not indulge in some classic and traditional Southern food. The Busy Bee Café is an Atlanta favorite, boasting a diverse menu of Southern classics such as meatloaf, fried chicken, mac and cheese and sweet tea. If the thought of fried green tomatoes or crunch of fried catfish fillets induces your salivary glands to work in overdrive, you might want to stop by Mary Mac’s Tea Room which hails itself as Atlanta’s Dining Room. Everyone is welcome, from visitors to celebrities and of course, local Atlanta residents.

Once your appetite has been satiated, head over to the historic Fox Theatre in the heart of Atlanta. This isn’t your typical, run-of-the-mill theatre, though. It plays host to over 300 performances every year, offering everything from movies to Broadway musicals. Named the “#1 Theatre World Wide for venues of 5,000 seats or less by Billboard Magazine in 2010”, this is definitely a favorite of visitors and residents alike. You can look forward to singing along to the movie Grease or rock out to country superstar Hunter Hayes. If Broadway is more your style, Disney’s The Little Mermaid will grace Fox’s stage as well.
Another Atlanta favorite is the World of Coca-Cola. You can experience the history of this famous soft drink, check out rare artifacts from its early days, and even taste test 
over 60 different beverages from all over the world. Even if Coke’s not your favorite drink, you’ll still enjoy this interactive, truly all-American experience.
