The Real Food Stalker’s guide to a memorable day with loved ones north of the Perimeter.
Justin Brown, aka the Real Food Stalker, has an all-day itinerary for an outing just north of Atlanta that includes breakfast at Buttermilk Kitchen (left), lunch and crafting at ScentTok Craft Cafe (center) and dinner and gaming at Battle & Brew (right). (Justin Brown for the AJC)
With so many things to do in Atlanta — whether it’s brunch, bowling, sporting events, food pop-ups or a million other things — it’s hard to know where to start when planning a day to enjoy quality time with loved ones.
So, here’s a step-by-step itinerary that would be perfect for a daddy-daughter day, family outing, date with your significant other, or just to treat yourself. If you want to spend a fun-filled day on Atlanta’s Northside, make sure these three spots are on your list. What you do in between each stop is up to you.
