🍽️ Eat

• Start your morning with a caffeine boost from PERC, Press & Grind, or the must-try Vietnamese Egg Coffee at Ash Coffee.
• For breakfast or brunch, you can’t go wrong with Murphy’s, Kinship, or Bar.bacoa—their Huevos Rancheros are a neighborhood favorite.
• Lunchtime? Swing by Savi Provisions, Alon’s Bakery, or Doc Chey’s (pro tip: grab it to go and enjoy it in the park).
• End your day with dinner at Pielands, ELA—don’t miss the hummus platter or their happy hour—or Truva for flavorful Mediterranean dishes.

🛍️ Shop

VaHi is home to some of the best small businesses in Atlanta. Browse the latest styles at Dakota J’s, find the perfect gift at Urban Cottage, pick up your next page-turner at Virginia Highland Books, and discover your new favorite piece at Mickey Lynn.

🧡 Play

Whether you love the outdoors, fitness, or simply exploring a beautiful neighborhood, VaHi has plenty to offer.

Take a stroll through John Howell Park, or let your pup run wild at the Piedmont Park dog park.

Book a workout at Highland Yoga or Contour Pilates, then spend the afternoon wandering the BeltLine and North Highland’s charming streets.

When you’re ready to unwind, reset at Perspire Sauna or StretchLab.

🛴 Transportation

While there are many ways to get around the neighborhood our favorites are by scooter, bike or foot! But don’t worry, if you don’t visit within walking distance, there is free street parking as well.
