If you’ve lived in Atlanta for any length of time, you may have heard of Eddie’s Attic. If you live here and can make an F-chord on a guitar, you most likely have heard of Eddie’s Attic. If you live here, can make an F-chord on a guitar, and have subjected your family to Johnny Cash and John Prine covers to the point of imminent violence, you not only have heard of Eddie’s Attic, but you’ve been there, you’ve drunk there, and you’ve gone to bed wondering what it would be like to play there. You’ve imagined achieving, on that tiny stage in that tiny room in Decatur, in front of those 150 rapt listeners, a moment of perfect musical transcendence, when audience and performer are linked by a bridge built of nothing more than sound waves, but no less strong than if it were of iron and steel.

Atlanta sports fans are desperate for a winner.

40. Connect with Muppets and maani
Midtown’s Center for Puppetry Arts—the country’s largest puppet facility—offers masterful programming for kids (The Little Pirate Mermaid) and adults (Tales of Edgar Allan Poe; see page 22), but its exhibits dedicated to Jim Henson, who cut the ribbon at the 1978 opening, will delight any age group.

Barcelona Wine Bar’s VinoTeca is a Spanish wine destination
