Food lovers will be hard-pressed to find an American city with more clout in the gastronomic department than Atlanta, Georgia. While it might be better known as a global airline hub or the home of one of the country’s best music scenes, foodies can find plenty to taste in Atlanta. Foodies who make a trip to Atlanta should make lots of stops, but one that we recommend above any other is the Ponce City Market.
Open seven days per week from 9 am to 10 pm (11 am to 8 pm on Sundays), this former Sears catalog facility has been transformed into one of America’s best urban markets, with its food hall being its central attraction.
Located at 675 Ponce de Leon Ave. NE in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward, this new venture was opened in 2014 and has done nothing but cause food lovers to fall in love ever since.
Southern roots mix with international and creative influences to create a food market that offers up bakeries, Italian shops, and joints to find classic southern soul food in an eclectic, vogue old-fashioned environment.
Hop’s fried chicken, Five Daughters’ Bakery’s doughnuts, and 18.21 Bitters’ cocktails are some of the best spots that you can check out at Ponce City Market, which truly has options for anyone, no matter what mood you might be in!
So, if you’re a foodie and you’re going to be in Atlanta at any point in the future, make sure you stop at Ponce City Market at least once!
