11 reasons to Visit Atlanta in the Fall!

Although I am sad to see another summer go in Atlanta, fall is definitely my favorite time of year. The summer months tend to be very hot and humid with daytime temperatures up to 92 degrees. But, during the fall, the weather cools down to 60 and 70 temperatures and there is less humidity in the air. In this quick post I will share with you Instagram worthy reasons to visit Atlanta in the fall!

Cheers from Sippin Safari @zooatl wine tasting, live music and tasty bites! ?????? #onlyzooatl

1. The Parks & Trails:
As mentioned above, the weather is very pleasant during the fall. Besides the cooler temperatures you also get to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage. Red, yellow and auburn leaves line the streets and parks. One of my favorite parks in Atlanta is Grant Park. It is a very historic area and a quiet family friendly park. Within Grant Park you will find Zoo Atlanta which has fall events for Halloween as well as “Sippin Safari”. Piedmont Park in Midtown Atlanta is a great place to visit any time of year but in the fall they have a wonderful art festival. You can stroll though the park while enjoying live music and hundreds of local and national artists. Atlanta Botanical Gardens is located in Piedmont Park. During the fall they have a display entitled “Scarecrows in the Garden”. You can also enjoy live music and brew events. Candler Park is a very quaint neighborhood in Atlanta and they host a fall festival which showcases local food vendors and artists. You can even attend a tour of the homes in the area. Every weekend during the month of October, Stone Mountain Park hosts a pumpkin festival with puppet parades and costume contests. One of the best places to experience the fall foliage in Atlanta is on Silver Comet Trail. Go for a casual stroll or go bike riding or running while you take in the beauty all around you.

I am intrigued by the Halloween decorations in my neighborhood! I almost feel bad that I didn’t put anything up! If you are planning to visit Atlanta I definitely suggest doing so in the fall. It is gorgeous! No humidity, blue skies, 70-80 degree weather, all the fall colors to behold and yes-homes decorated like this for Halloween! ??

Fall in my neighborhood. #nofilter I absolutely love summertime. The sand and the beaches and BBQs. But then there are days like this when I go for a walk and the air is clear with no humidity, the temperature is warm, the sky is blue and you have colors like this all around you. Whoa!

Because it’s Monday and Because it Fall! Who else loves Pumpkin everything this time of year? Pumpkin bread, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin scones, pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin latte….

2. Food Festivals: Atlanta is a big foodie town so you can expect several food festivals in the fall. During Taste of Atlanta the streets of Midtown Atlanta are shut down for food, wine and dessert booths from restaurants all over the city. Another great food festival is the Atlanta Burger Battle which started last year. I really enjoyed sampling the juicy and creative burger offerings.

I’m so happy to have Jamaican food @tasteofatlanta I could cry! These are codfish fritters. Yum! I am a Kingstonian meaning that my family is from Kingston, Jamaica. Have you ever been to Kingston or anywhere in Jamaica?

Enjoying @atlantamagazine Best Burger Battle @shopbuckheadatl with my husband! So far our favorites are Venkman’s and Two Urban Licks!

My second favorite burger @atlantamagazine Best Burger Battle was from @twourbanlicks If you haven’t been to this restaurant on the beltline you have to check it out. Amazing views too!

3. Atlanta Day Trips: There are several great towns nearby to visit in the fall. Take a road trip to Elijay for wine tasting, apple picking and the most delicious apple apple pastries, pies and cakes. Or, drive up to the North Georgia mountains for wine tasting. Last year I attend a fall festival at the Montuluce Winery. Oktoberfest in Helen Georgia is also very popular this time of year.

Atlanta day trip to Ellijay GA! October is National Apple Month! I had no idea there where so many types of apples! Yum!

A post shared by Nadeen. (@thesophislife) on Oct 14, 2016 at 11:08am PDT

Oh it is so pretty up here! And the wines are good too ??I you visit Ellijay make a stop @engelheimvineyards

A post shared by Nadeen. (@thesophislife) on Oct 14, 2016 at 1:46pm PDT

A beautiful fall day at Montaluce Vineyard in Northern Georgia. I may travel far but I also enjoy exploring areas closer to home as well. Don’t forget to do both!

If you need me today you can find me in the beautiful vineyards of @alpinehelenga @kayavineyards

Things to do in Atlanta Georgia for Black History Month.

  • Hey 👋🏾 How is everyone doing out there?!!
I came across this picture of me in Phuket Thailand 🇹🇭 and it captures how I’m feeling after this weekend and today. 
Do you see the bewildered look on my face?!!
WHAT IS GOING ON THIS COUNTRY?

1️⃣ Another Black man killed after an interaction with police over a minor traffic violation. The facts are still coming out but apparently “an accidental” use of a gun vs a taser. I just can not. Praying for his family 🙏🏽

2️⃣ A video surfaces of a lieutenant in the armed services being pulled over harassed & assaulted by two cops because they “didn’t see” his taped temporary license plate. This video was so disturbing to watch. This man serves our country and was treated with such disrespect. Even thou I knew he lived I was afraid for his life. I’m afraid for the lives of the Black men in my family!!!! This has got to stop!!! 🛑 

3️⃣ COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are on the rise in the upper Midwest especially in Michigan and especially among UNVACCINATED individuals and the irony-younger people-not the elderly-why? Because most of the elderly are vaccinated!! But I still have to argue with people daily about why I support the vaccines 💉. It’s exhausting. People we are still in the midst of a Pandemic and dealing with several strains. Still take proper precautions. 

4️⃣ RIP to @dmx He was only 50 years old. I am 50 years. He was way to young to die. Addiction is a disease and affects way too many people in this country. If you are one of those people or know someone who is, I hope you are able to reach out for help. Please always check on your loved ones. Don’t assume they are OK no matter how much $ they have or strong they seem. 🙏🏽 ❤️ 

AND PLEASE PROTECT YOUR PEACE! I need to do a better job of this myself. It may mean social media breaks, unfollowing, unfriending or blocking toxic people from your life. 
WHEW that was a mouthful. 😆

  • As a Black Female Physician it was a pleasure to share my thoughts on the #covid19vacccine with @essence thanks to @kingronthedon 

💉Black people have been reluctant to receive the vaccines which is understandable based on the medical and scientific history in this country. I actually did a report and reenactment of the Tuskegee experiment in college. However, in that case treatment was withheld for syphilis. In this case life saving option is being offered. And Black people have also been disproportionately affected by the disease. 

💉The good news is more and more Black people are willing to and have taken one of the 3 available vaccines in the US! Yeah!! The issue now is providing better access. 

💉In terms of travelers 🧳, not only is it the best way to protect yourself and others, I think the writing is on the wall with many cruise lines requiring it, vaccine passports popping up and countries waving testing and quarantines and some also mentioning requiring it as well. 

If you are a Black globetrotter have you taken it or plan to? If you don’t plan to ever take it and you are an anti-Vaxxer it is OK...this post isn’t for you (see my latest reel 😉😉)

#medicalexpert #blacktravelfeed #blacktravelgram #covid_19 #covidvaccine #covidvaccineadvocate #essencemagazine #essencetravels #blackdoctorsmatter #blackdoctorswhitecoats
  • #TravelTuesday I made this graphic before the CDC announcement last week because more & more studies are coming out showing excellent results on how safe and effective the COVID19 vaccines are at preventing disease & transmission. In addition some countries are allowing travelers to forego testing & quarantine if vaccinated, some cruise lines are requiring it and vaccine passports have already popped up in NYC. 

But the big news came from @cdcgov on 4/2!! They released new guidelines for fully vaccinated people stating that:

“Fully vaccinated people can resume domestic travel and do not need to get tested before or after travel or self-quarantine after travel.

Fully vaccinated people do not need to get tested before leaving the United States (unless required by the destination) or self-quarantine after arriving back in the United States.”

YEAH!!!! Did this convince anyone on the fence about getting vaccinated? 💉

Honestly one of the biggest reasons is still herd immunity. To squash this virus 🦠 and prevent a thousand and 1 strains to pop up we need as many people as vaccinated 💉as possible. 

It really warmed my ❤️ to see all the families reunited & gathered this past Easter 🐣 weekend because of the vaccines. 

I for one can’t wait to start traveling SAFELY again. First up-a solo road trip to @visitasheville in 2 weeks! I have been once but it was a quick trip. I can’t wait to do some more exploring! 

What’s on your post vaccine travel schedule?!

  • #HappyEaster ⛪️🐣🐰🐇!!!! Easter brunch looked a little different to us this year but it was amazing nonetheless! 
Italian meatball & breakfast pizza @no246atlanta The breakfast pizza 🍕 had bacon 🥓 and was topped w fried eggs 🍳 So good!!

Atlanta is an amazing foodie town and I’m so glad so many of our favorite restaurants survived this past year. I know it wasn’t easy. We did do takeout and delivery 📦 during the year to show our support and now that we are both vaccinated we are slowly making our way back to eating out. 
How are things in your city? 

Have a great Sunday!!

  • It’s #GoodFriday of Easter Weekend and it has me thinking of all the churches, cathedrals &, Basilicas I have visited around the world 🌎 

I actually have a post on my blog from a few years ago entitled “10 Cathedrals Around the World Worth Visiting” ⛪️ 

One of my absolute favorite places is Sacré-Coeur in the Montmartre area in Paris! I have visited twice and on my last visit in 2017 it was a beautiful sunny 🌞 Saturday! 

Looking at this now It’s crazy to see all the tourists out and about! Swipe left to see the amazing views from here! 

If possible I usually enter churches to light candles 🕯 for loved ones that have passed away especially my Mother who was the originally globetrotter in our family 🌎 The last place I did this was a church in Saint-Emilion in Bordeaux France. Pretty special since she never went there. 🙏🏽

I find churches to be fascinating and gives you an idea of the history of that place and time. If you haven’t read the novel 📚
“Pillars of the Earth” by Ken Follett I highly recommend it. The decades and generations of families and work that went into building these ancient churches is just unbelievable. 👏🏽👏🏽 Look at La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona-its still not done! 

Do you visit churches ⛪️ when you travel? If so which has been the most fascinating to you?
If you celebrate it-Happy Easter!

  • PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷!! Have you been there? If not Is it on your bucket list? 
I have been three times but have not devoted enough time there. BUT I am excited to go back and use @diningtraveler book “Guide to Puerto Rico” swipe left to take a look at this beautiful book 📚 this is not your typical guide/tour book and I can’t wait to dive in. The people, the food & culture are really captured in these pages. Well done Jessica! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

On my 1st trip YEARS ago to Puerto Rico I spent a few days for my friends Birthday and I actually did one of my first walking food tours thru Old San Juan. It was also one of my first blog posts! It really sparked my interest in how history and cultures intertwined to produce so many different cuisines throughout the Caribbean. 

My other two trips have been associated with cruises with 1 overnight stay last year. It was just enough time to have an amazing dish of shrimp 🍤 Mofonfo!! 😋😋

***If you do decide to travel to Puerto Rico COVID19 PCR tests are required within 72 hours. It is not required for re-entry into the US. Let’s do our best to protect ourselves and residents of the places we travel to from COVID19 disease & outbreaks. Better yet get vaccinated! 😁
