Whether it's a song under the lights, a home-cooked meal around the table, or a bottle of wine shared with friends, I just want folks to feel welcome...like they've got a seat and they belong there.

From lively music to good food and street art, Atlanta has it all. I'd start my day by heading downtown and grabbing breakfast at Grits and Eggs.

Inside, the open kitchen sets the stage: a pastaio (pasta maker) pulls fresh noodles, seemingly moving to the groove of the DJ playing lo-fi records in the dining room.
