Midtown

Right in the very center of Atlanta is Midtown. A bustling community of commercial businesses, innovation, retail, and culture; we liken it to being in the heart of it all. Extremely walkable, it is one of the few areas of Atlanta where the streets are built on a natural grid. It’s easily accessible by bike, train, or car – boasting 4 stops along MARTA’s public transit system, and being flanked by the I-75/I-85 highway connector and the Atlanta BeltLine’s newly developed Eastside Trail. In Midtown, you’ll find an amazing range of restaurants, an ever-changing art scene, landmark institutions such as The Woodruff Arts Center and The Fox Theatre, and innovation hubs like Tech Square. All of this is balanced by an expansive display of tidy tree-lined streets and Atlanta’s largest public green space, Piedmont Park.

What’ll ya have? The Varsity is the largest drive-in fast food restaurant in the world and one of Midtown’s most famous landmarks. Originally named "The Yellow Jacket,” the restaurant was established in 1928 and catered heavily to Georgia Tech students. Guests enjoyed chili dogs and onion rings delivered straight to their cars by waitstaff on roller skates. As the business grew, the name changed to “The Varsity” to accommodate other college campuses and the restaurant moved to its current location on Spring Street and North Avenue, where it now seats up to 800. There are six other branches across metro Atlanta, but the original remains right here in Midtown – and guests can still enjoy curbside service (sans the roller skates).
