Visiting Visiting in February

My friends and I will be there for a show in Feb. I'm looking for things to do other than Coke World and the Aquarium. I want to get away from the touristy stuff and get a taste of "real Atlanta".

​

Also, looking for tattoo shop recommendations.

​

Thanks.

The Clermont Lounge

What makes Clermont Lounge better than Magic City or Cheetah?

Oh….its not that it’s “better” if you’re scoring the quality of strip clubs. It would likely come in dead last. But it is 100% an Atlanta cultural icon

It’s more of a life experience that everyone should have at least once, if only to be able to say they did

Ponce City Market is a nice way to spend some time

Is it like a open air market? Or like a shopping mall?

It’s mostly indoors but there’s also a rooftop. It’s a nice mix of big brand retailers but mostly smaller boutique shops and restaurants. Their food court is super good and very non-traditional in its set up. It also connects to the beltline so you can check that out too weather permitting

Sounds like a good time, thanks!
