East Point Farmer’s Market:  “Our mission is to create a unique experience in the Downtown District for all who shop here, where we will consciously offer fresh food options that are as healthy for the people who eat them as for the ground in which they are grown.”  ~ from East Point Farmer’s Market

Truly Living Well Center:  “Since its launch in 2006, Truly Living Well has grown approximately 10,000 pounds of food annually on small plots of donated land within the city. TLW’s vision is to use quality local food production as a platform to provide a range of educational and entertainment activities.” ~ from Truly Living Well

Brake Pad Restaurant & Bar:  Zagat Survey 2006 “This quirky converted old gas station in College Park is a great place to refuel near the airport, offering basic American fare with flair, including buffalo chicken quesadillas to die for; the hip staff without attitude usually hits on all cylinders.”

Wolfe Creek Amphitheatre:  Whether it is Funk Fest or Gospel Explosion, the Amphitheatre in College Park plays home to exciting events year round. You can dine in the venue or bring your own picnic. The complex is also available for rent to private events.
