Midtown, located centrally between Downtown Atlanta and Buckhead, is an area well known for its exciting nightlife and energetic business district. This thriving area offers stimulating experiences such as visits to major art venues, walks in Piedmont Park and laughing with friends at some of the hottest restaurants and clubs in Atlanta. Midtown is considered one of the most creative, lively and upscale neighborhoods. Located in the heart of Atlanta, it consists of marquee office towers, craftsman style bungalows and urban lofts and condos with breathtaking skyline views.

Visit the High Museum of Art to enjoy gallery tours, film productions, photography presentations or Friday night jazz assemblies. Theater and music lovers can purchase tickets to a classical concert by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra or a theatrical performance at the famous Fox Theatre.

Enjoy the wonderful Atlanta weather while visiting the Atlanta Botanical Gardens or Piedmont Park. At the Atlanta Botanical Gardens patrons walk through 15 display gardens showcasing flowers and plants from around the world. These gardens showcase events including monthly gatherings at Cocktails in the Garden, the TREEmendous TREEhouses exhibit and Stroller Strut, an activity for the kids.

Piedmont Park has restricted through traffic, which creates a more pedestrian-friendly park and opens the pathways for skateboarders, bicyclists, rollerbladers and runners. Events here include the Atlanta Dogwood Festival, a Springtime celebration of arts and entertainment, Tango in the Park, a get together on lessons in Tango, and the Green Market, a market to purchase fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers. It is also a wonderful place for kids and adults to enjoy playgrounds, picnic areas, grilling-out, dog parks, swimming, tennis, baseball fields and soccer fields.

An entertaining nightlife and funky restaurants are found throughout Midtown. Crescent Avenue and Peachtree Street house many popular clubs and bars. Dance the night away at upscale nightclubs like 1150 or Vision, or sit back, relax and enjoy a refreshing drink at one of the trendy bars like Loca Lunas or Leopard Lounge. Choose from a diverse selection of restaurant styles such as Asian inspired dishes at Nickiemoto's or cutting-edge American cuisine at MidCity Cuisine or healthy vegetarian meals at Balance. Many of these restaurants offer award-winning chefs and a tranquil ambiance or funky interior design. Whether you want upscale dining or a casual night of pizza, the Midtown restaurant scene is full of endless selections.

The restaurants, bars and entertainment are just a small part of the Midtown environment. Friendly neighborhoods with welcoming people surround the tall skyscrapers and busy nightlife, bringing a true sense of peace and charm to the city.
