Comment: added world of coke and aquarium

...

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

Sights

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.

Other Neighborhoods

"A bit farther away (~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)
