    The Atlanta Top 100 Bucket List

    Atlanta Bucket List

    After reading our Atlanta Bucket List, our dear friend (known on Yelp as Ivan S.) contributed his top 100 things to do in Atlanta. You’re gonna need a napkin to wipe your mouth off because this list is extensive! It ranges from the heart of downtown to way outside the perimeter (or OTP for y’all who know what that means). Good luck to anyone who dares to work your way through these 100 places. We’re certainly going to try through, and document it along the way moving forward.
