Established in October of 2000 and set in the historic Cotton Mill general store, Agave has been named the Best Southwestern Restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia. The Native American ambience is warm & welcoming. A cozy little spot that is filled with the smells of fresh southwestern spices. Try the Fresh Georgia mountain trout stuffed with crawfish, mushrooms, onions, & basil over Spanish rice with a roasted tomatillo sauce & freshly cut cilantro. Definitely want to make a reservation as it gets very busy.

James Beard Award-winning chefs the likes of Anne Quatrano, Linton Hopkins, and Sean Brock join Atlanta’s most exciting young purveyors and restauranteurs to offer everything from Georgia and Carolinas-caught seafood, to classic burgers, cold-pressed juice, and locally-made kimchee and Korean steamed buns.

One of the best restaurants in the Inman/Krog Street market area!!! Usually packed full you will want to make reservations, but there are two of you sitting at the bar can be a lot of fun. The lighting is low with some hip hop jams playing overhead. Their food is ridiculous! Like Italian and Asian fusion with a funky southern twist. I recommend the the 20 egg yolk tagliatelle. It's light with a buttery sauce and full of fun ingredients like kimchi and wild mushrooms. Guaranteed and all around great experience!

During the school year, field trips can literally swamp the exhibits. Try visiting just after lunch or during the cooler evenings to avoid crowds. On weekend mornings, the aquarium opens an hour early and crowds are extremely low.
This should not be compared to the museum of Natural History in NYC or DC, but it's still a very fun trip for families. Three floors. Very top is am indoor explorer themed play area for kids. It's large and great for a rainy day. Nature exhibits then continue on down to the bottom floor, including a giant T-Rex in the center of the building. Do NOT miss the outdoor treetop part of the museum. This was added recently and includes an outdoor climbing area of older kids and also a small playground for younger kids themed like ant hills. VERY cute and a great way to burn off some energy
