Instagram Worthy Reasons to Visit Atlanta in the Fall!

by Nadeen
September 19, 2019
A A

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!

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

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!

River Cruise vs Ocean Cruise: Which One is Right For You?

April 11, 2023
  • This past week I was in @gotolouisville for the first time to attend @nomadnessfest 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 It was amazing!! I don’t know how to sum it up in 1 post so here is a photo & video dump of Day #1! 

The first pic is the day of the actual festival on Saturday. I spoke on the “isms of travel” panel representing ageism. I think it went very well! 

But before that day there was an industry day for content creators/influencers to meet with travel brands and we also had a full day of tours with Louisville tourism focusing on historical Black sites in the city-more on that in the next post 👊🏽

The pics here shows some of excitement from industry day. I enjoyed meeting with travel brands and reconnecting with so many travel friends I had not seen in years pre covid years! It was all love in these rooms!! 

Then @evierobbie and @nomadnesstribe team surprised us with luggage from Black woman-owned brand @wndr_ln so cool 😎 

After industry day we had lunch then a few of us headed to @evanwilliamsbourbon for a tasting. Thank you to @heavenhilldistillery for that. It was awesome! 

THEN there was an evening event where @chubbydiaries of @natgeotravel was interviewed by THE Kevin Frazier of @entertainmenttonight what an inspiring talk at a beautiful venue @21clouisville 

Yes I did more that day…lol Thank you to @charlottesgotalot team for inviting us to dinner @brendonscatch23 It was great meeting with other creators & entrepreneurs 🫶🏽

This was Day #1!!! More to come!!! Have you been to Nomadnessfest? Were you at this one?

How many of these things do you do on a regular basis when you are taking off 🛫 on an international trip?

After the Maui and Morocco natural disasters I started thinking more about these things especially since I visited both places this year. I started to let some of these action items slip! 

In case you missed my LIVE broadcast of “How to Prepare for Natural Disasters While Traveling” you can still catch it on my YouTube channel The Sophisticated Life. But these are some of the highlights! 
https://youtu.be/0hK0LseyX9E?si=B-MCsaQc3Xm_wRM2

And let me tell you about the last one——we are already seeing Flu in our hospital and COVID is NOT going anywhere! So protect yourself! Wear your masks 😷 and please get vaccinated!

  • These memes have been cracking me up all week! 😂😂 
Ever since my husband @parrishu70 and I met a couple in Champagne France 🇫🇷 with the most intense, printed color coded itinerary that even included times for naps 😴 -I kid you not-we have used their terminology of “trips” vs “vacations”. 

TRIPS: usually go go go. You are in a city or place for a limited time so you want to see it all. These are tours and reservations and an itinerary. IE our group trip to Morocco. 5 cities in 9 days! Things have to be organized, you may pack outfits based on activities that are planned and you may be tired when you get back. Hence the term “I need a vacation from my vacation”. 

VACATION: more relaxed. Go with the flow vs reservations and tours. Sleeping in in the mornings. Strolling around locations and popping into places. Relaxing on a beach all day for days at a time. Room service. Being lazy in a comfy bed. Going on a cruise. 

Now it is possible to have a mix of these 2! Over the years I have learned a lot from my husband and since he prefers vacations, even if we visit cities, I make sure we have time to relax and stroll around. AND as I have gotten older I definitely need to recharge with vacations. I do feel energized on trips thou lol. 

How about you? What’s your favorite?

  • Is anyone else holding on to summer like I am? Or are you ready for fall? I have no issue w less humid weather and crisper morning and evening air, I love pumpkin 🎃 but I do know that fall leads to winter and that IS not OK with me!! 

I am already planning my winter 🥶 escapes. And I live in Atlanta!! My skin gets dry, my hands and feet stay cold and I miss feeling the sun 🌞 on my skin!! Maybe it’s my island 🏝️ 🇯🇲 roots lol 

So which one are you? Summer? Fall? Or are you a winter or spring person?

  • My heart is heavy today. I am incredibly sad as I read reports and see the news about the earthquake in Morocco and the effects in Marrakech. 😔😔

As many of you know I traveled with 16 other adventurers for 9 days thru 5 cities in Morocco 🇲🇦 just 3 months ago!!! 

We met so many incredible people. Of course after being on the road that long together we felt close to our guides and drivers. I even had a meeting with two of the team members yesterday while they were in Marrakech and the earthquake happened a few hours later. 

My mind quickly went to them and all the people in my pictures wondering and hoping that they were safe. So far they are. But the death toll is over 1,000 and homes are crumbling. It’s a disaster. 

As a physician this also made me wonder—-are you prepared to handle a natural disaster while traveling? Do you know what to do? Do you have things in order before you go on vacation? Let’s talk about it tomorrow evening LIVE here on Instagram and Facebook at 5pm PT and 8 pm ET. You can share your thoughts on the Maui fires as well. My husband and I were in Maui in April and I’m still trying to comprehend that places we visited are gone. People have lost so much the past few months. Please stay safe. But let’s also get prepared! 

Sound off in the comments with any questions you would like answered tomorrow night! 

Swipe left to see pics from cities all over Morocco 🇲🇦 the people make the place ❤️

  • Do you have a favorite spa in your city 🌆 that you go to regularly?
I do but recently I tried a new one and it was VERY RELAXING! 

I have been to @stregisatl several times over the years but this was my first time using the spa. I had their version of an aromatherapy massage with hot stone add on. 

A few things I truly enjoyed..
1) the changing rooms and relaxation areas were spacious. There was even a “blush room” if you wanted to change in private. 
2) clean showers, saunas and steam rooms (the steam was too hot so I couldn’t stay in there 😣)
3) after my treatment I was offered Prosecco OR at St.Germaine spritzer! I went for the spritzer and it was pretty and refreshing 😋
4) the cool rags and cucumber slices-I took advantage of everything! Lol but it did help my headache 
5) it was not crowded-I always make weekday appointments for the spa. 
6) I was offered macarons and chocolates! I think this was a first for me. I received my own little tray and they were delicious! 
7) The St.Regis does Champagne 🍾sabrage every evening at 6pm. So I ended my spa day with a glass of Champagne 🥂!

The only down side is you have to be a hotel guest to use the pool. I brought my bathing suit ready to relax there and have a late lunch but nope. 

Have you been to this spa or a StRegis spa near you?
