Morningside

Quiet streets and tucked away garden-parks define Atlanta's Morningside neighborhood, which is located just north of Virginia Highland, east of Ansley Park and west of Druid Hills/Emory. With Piedmont Park to the southwest and close access to the BeltLine entrance on 10th and Monroe, the 1930s neighborhood rests in comfortable distance to many of Atlanta's growing in-town attractions. While this sedate neighborhood may be known more for what it is near than for what it offers, Morningside has plenty of its own attractions. A rich mix of homes line the leafy streets punctuated by kid-friendly parks, while the perfect assortment of neighborhood restaurants and shops line North Highland Ave. For a different kind of entertainment, Cheshire Bridge Road delineates Morningside's western edge, providing a little something for everyone.

On Piedmont Road, there’s a barbecue joint that’s an Atlanta institution. Fat Matt’s Rib Shack is one of those must-visit places in the city, like the Coke Museum or the Varsity. When you pull up it feels like you came to the right spot...an electric and unpretentious place specializing in ribs, from sandwich to slab, and a long list of special sides. First come first serve, there's a line out the door and it's worth the wait. It’s considered a local’s place, but the no-frills counter-service, fall off the bone ribs, and nightly live blues music have brought national attention. Highlights include the Half Slab, Brunswick Stew and Sweet Potato Pie.
