Best of Atlanta 2013, Shopping

Marietta Square

Downtown Marietta has long had its draws—verdant Glover Park, quirky museums and antique stores, Eddie’s Trick Shop, Johnnie MacCracken’s Celtic Public House, Marietta Pizza Company. But a few new businesses have turned the square into an even livelier destination. Additions such as Taqueria Tsunami, the Butcher the Baker (farm-to-table restaurant), DK Gallery (contemporary art), L. Michelle (women’s boutique), UpDog Smoothies & Juices (in a yoga studio . . . get it?), and Marietta Wine Market have added fresh energy. Plus there’s easy, free parking in city lots. Check out rooftop Brew with a View nights at the Strand Theatre or First Friday Art Walk for the liveliest evenings.
