Cutest little hidden secret right on the Chattahoochee River. Very peaceful, great place to meet a friend, have a coffee date or just enjoy the scenery

Literally the BEST PHO! I have tried every Pho place up and down Buford Highway and this is by far the best.  Pho Tai…YUM
Phở Bắc Restaurant

No comparison - Best Pizza.  It is the closest thing to real, authentic, Italian pizza we have. It is soooo good! There is a location at The Battery as well, and it is good, but the original location here is superior.
Antico Pizza Napoletana

Moore's is just off the beaten path. Great outdoor spot to enjoy the weather or meet up with friends.  Watch out for the Mules! They will getcha, but are so good! Also very good Brunch spot as well!
Moores Gourmet Market

There are several locations, my favorite is the Doraville location. It does not seem like much from the outside, but it is an hour of pure bliss.  Perfect relaxation and pampering! I have been going here for over 15 years! Book it!!

My absolute favorite small town Spa. Variety of services but the massages are amazing! It may depend on who you get, I am not sure, but every massage I have had here has been outstanding!
Pearl's Spa

Great place to Kayak.  There are tube rentals as well, but I wouldn't tube here b/c it is super slow. Kayak is the way to go.  Very peaceful easy ride. We do this at least 2xs a year with a group!
Euharlee Creek Outfitters

Blue Ridge Mountains

Blue Ridge is such a great place to explore. You can easily do a weekend trip from most locations in GA. All of the paces to eat and things to do in Blue Ridge

MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN BLUE RIDGE! Even if I am just passing through, I plan around being able to eat lunch at Harvest on Main! The Salmon BLT is living rent free in my head at all times.

Another Favorite of ours! Usually after tubing we stop here on the way home.  Great views and location on the river. I always HAVE to get Blackened Trout when I eat here although the other menu items are good too!
Toccoa Riverside Restaurant

A four-hour, 26-mile roundtrip journey along the Toccoa River through the North Georgia countryside! Best Time to go is Mid October - Mid November to see all the fall leaves!!
