2017! What an absolutely insane year blog-wise! The other day my best friend texted me and said “Emily you’re almost at 10K followers!” which was just the coolest and weirdest thing to me. I’m so incredibly lucky to have all of you to share this passion about Atlanta with and I love when people tell me they enjoyed a spot that I mentioned!  Since I’ve never done an official guide to the city, I wanted to do some sort of year-end recap of some of my favorite spots in the city to share with you all! Thank you all for an incredible 2017 and I can’t wait to see what happens in 2018! Below are my favorites by category:
