Lunacy Black Market is about .3 miles from the Five Points Marta station, I haven't been yet but it's been highly recommended. It doesn't look like they can accommodate large groups though.

Tourist Attractions

 

Decatur

How to get here: from the Five Points MARTA stop, take an eastbound train to Decatur, which is six stops away. 

 

BBQ

"Fox Brothers BBQ is the place to go, it's about .3 miles from the nearest Marta station though, and not the nicest part of town, so I'd recommend finding a ride if possible." (Stuart Freeman)

Bars

"My personal favorite though is Brick Store Pub, it's right next to the Decatur Marta train station and has a tremendous selection of Belgian beers. Their food is good too, but The Iberian Pig is also right across the Decatur Square for excellent Spanish tapas (they also have a nice bar)" (Stuart Freeman)

Midtown

How to get here: take a northbound train just a couple stops to 'North Avenue' or 'Midtown'

Tourist Attractions

The world's largest aquarium with more than 8.5-million-US-gallon (32,000 m3) of marine and fresh water housing more than 120,000 animals of 500 different species including four young whale sharks, four beluga whales, eleven Bottlenose dolphins, three Great hammerhead sharks, and four manta rays. Is about a half mile walk from the Dome-GWCC-Philips Arena-CNN Marta station.

Across from the aquarium is the World of Coca-Cola which at times feels like a giant advertisement, but is packed with pop-cultural artifacts ranging from the original equipment used to invent Coca-Cola, to letters from American soldiers, to paintings by Andy Worhol and Norman Rockwell. You can walk through a fully functional bottling plant and taste Coca-Cola products from all over the world in the tasting room.

"A bit farther away from the hotel (~2.5 mi) reachable by bus or a slight hike (~1 mi) from the Marta train is Manuel's Tavern, which is more traditional American, and something of an Atlanta institution." (Stuart Freeman)
