Popular Gardens in East Cobb

"When it comes to the history of Atlanta, the museum, historic houses, and gardens of the Atlanta History Center have it all!. Start at the Atlanta History Museum with exhibits that spotlight everything from the indigenous Mississippian people to modern-day Atlantans, the city’s important role during the Civil War and the blockbuster movies filmed locally. Then head outdoors to wander through the gardens and explore the historic homes that are also part of the Atlanta History Center, including the Swan House and Smith Farm."

"The Swan House is part of the Atlanta History Center but can be visited separately. The home was built for Edward Inman, an heir to a large cotton fortune, and his wife, Emily. The architect was Philip Trammel Shutze and he designed the home and the gardens in an Italian classical style."

"If you’re looking for something a little more vintage, Atlanta’s still got you covered. The Swan House was designed by Phillip T. Shutze for an elite married couple. Once they died, the mansion and its grounds were acquired by the Atlanta Historical Society."

"This seven-acre public conservation park doubles as a community garden and boasts walking trails, a spring-fed creek, a frog pond and more. It is located mere miles from downtown Atlanta and is managed by residents of the neighborhood."

"The eternal flame at the King Centeris one of the most iconic images in Atlanta. The flame burns near the eternal resting place of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King and is located at the King Center, located on Auburn Avenue. Location: 449 Auburn Ave."

"Simply put, this tasty nook predominantly serves up amazing cakes at several Atlanta locations— if you’re really hooked, you can order online!. To each their own, but the Orange Layer Cake is off the hook and flavored with orange juice to mimic a creamsicle-sherbet taste. Peach Pound Cake screams Georgia making it another top pick, and the Cookies n’ Cream flavor melts in your mouth."

"I asked my fantastic food blogging buddies at the Atlanta Food Bloggers’ Society (www.atlantafoodbloggersociety.com ) about their favorite place to get a birthday cake and the overwhelming favorite is Piece Of Cake. Choose from Hummingbird Cake (contains no actual hummingbirds), Red Velvet, Strawberry and so much more. www.pieceofcakeinc.com"

"Piece of Cake’s specialty resides in its custom cakes (duh). Roughly 25 flavors are available at any time, and other confectionaries available include cupcakes, cookies, brownies, and more."

"Birthday Cakes don’t have to be layer cake, for a little something different try a beautifully decorated Bundt cake from Nothing Bundt Cakes. They come in a variety of sizes from tiny to massive but for a birthday party of up to 20 guests the 10 inch Bundt cake is perfect. For a larger party get an 8 inch Bundt cake stacked on top of a 10 inch Bundt cake to serve up to 30 guests www.nothingbundtcakes.com"

"Bar Margot, located on the mezzanine level of the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta in Midtown, is a funky hangout for grownups. Creative bites and dinner entrées like fresh oysters, crab toast, sweetbreads and frog legs, and kale salad are offered alongside top-notch beverages from coffee to cocktails, shaken and stirred by some of the city’s leading bartenders. To help set a hearty mood, a deejay spins selections from the vinyl library of nearly 10,000 records by artists in a wide range of styles every Friday and Saturday night from 9 p.m."

"Located inside the Four Seasons Atlanta and adorned with blue tufted armchairs and round red-accented booths, Bar Margot is slightly peculiar yet stylishly appointed – the perfect embodiment of Margot Tenenbaum, the fictional Wes Anderson character who inspired its name. House cocktails are sophisticated yet playful; the Split Personality, for instance, allows you to select a spirit to mix with bitters and vermouth."
