Chow Down on Some Local Grub
When in Atlanta, you’ll want to try some of the more traditional Southern dining options; head to Mary Mac’s Tea Room for fried catfish with a side of mac and cheese. You can always go for something more refined and romantic in the evening, like inventively prepared seafood, and raw oysters, at The Optimist, located downtown.
Have a Spa Day
Many luxury hotels in Atlanta offer spa services and facilities so you can enjoy plenty of pampering and relaxation with your partner. After a day of roaming through the hustle and bustle of the big city, a soak, steam, or couples massage can make for the perfect prelude to a romantic night on the town.
Take in an Unforgettable View
A romantic weekend in Atlanta wouldn’t be complete without taking in a view of the whole city. Atlanta offers great options when it comes to finding an ideal romantic perch. For something sure to get the heart racing, you can’t beat the views from the SkyView Ferris Wheel. And if you stay in an Atlanta hotel with its own viewing area, like the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel with its rotating Sun Dial Restaurant and Bar, you’ll enjoy views for days.
