Southern USA Trip | Atlanta Travel Diary

🥤 World of Coca-Cola Right across from the aquarium! • Explored Coke’s history & secret formula—surprisingly fun! • Beverage Lab on 1st floor: Create your own drink combo, then find your creation upstairs. • 2nd floor: Meet the Coca-Cola Polar Bear 🐻‍❄️, explore the scent gallery, and taste global soda flavors. 🌍 Some were… interesting (looking at you, Beverly 😅), but China’s sour plum flavor was a win for me! • Souvenir shop = dangerously cute. Left with a Coke-shaped thermos ❄️☕️ 🏞️ Centennial Olympic Park • Just across the street—small but perfect for photos. • Ferris wheel across the way + horse carriages with music at night 🎠✨ Day 3: BeltLine Adventure 🚶 Krog Street Tunnel → BeltLine Trail North • Graffiti, art installations, and food spots in The Krog District. • Shake Shack area: Don’t miss the four steel monster sculptures! 🛴 Brash Coffee → grabbed a scooter → leisurely rode to Ponce City Market (mind the speed limits!). 🏭 Ponce City Market • Industrial-chic building with: 1F: Food hall & snacks 2F: Boutiques & accessories 3F: Skyline Park + epic city views 🌆 • Continued north → snapped pics at Tiny Door 6 & graffiti chair. 🌳 Piedmont Park • Memorial Day = 3-day jazz festival + food stalls 🎶 • Nearby Atlanta Botanical Garden: Alice in Wonderland topiaries & lush trails—photo heaven! 📸 🍽 Food Recap 📍 Ted’s Montana Grill Chain steakhouse—Bison meat was tender! Better than the one in Jackson Hole. 📍 Mary Mac’s Tea Room Classic Southern comfort food with historic vibes. 📍 Jang Su Jang (Duluth) Korean braised short ribs—spicy, tender, & flavorful! 📍 For Good Tea Just okay & pricey (coming from a SoCal boba expert 🧋) 🍑 Georgia Peaches White peaches (4401) 🍑 | Yellow peaches (4404) 🌞 #Atlanta #TravelDiaries #SouthernEats #ExploreATL #CocaColaWorld
