Food scene
This is an outdoor seating only/to go Texas-style BBQ joint with kick ass brisket, the best kind of no nonsense banana pudding, and sweet tea served right—in appropriately Southern-sized (read: giant) styrofoam cups. It's a very short walk from our place, and also has breakfast burritos that are cheap and use homemade tortillas. Yum!

Grocery/Necessities
Daily is a local coop grocery that has all the essentials you might need, from toothpaste to local fruit and veggies. They used to be veggie only, but now have some great organic and local meat options, as well as wine and beer. (You don't need to be a member to shop there.) We like to walk there just to have a destination when we are strolling around the neighborhood and get a King of Pops popsicle in chocolate sea salt or raspberry lime to fuel our walk.

Free! On the UGA campus next to the art and music schools, a perfect way to spend a few hours. Even though it's on the small side for a museum, there is something for everyone in their collection—a variety of art styles, periods, and media. Beautiful back courtyard for sculpture. Lockers to check bags at entry.

Wonderful locally-owned bookstore in Five Points. In addition to their carefully curated selection of books, they also have some cool gift items. Buy a book, then go next door to Condor Chocolates for a shake or hot chocolate to sit outside and read.

An important part of the Athens music scene since 1976. After you wet your whistle listening to some of the local albums we have at Arts + Athletics, you can make some follow up purchases and get your vinyl fix at Wuxtry!
