Things to do in Grant Park


East Atlanta HorsesThere are horses available to ride in East Atlanta. Take that Alpharetta! You no longer have to drive OTP to see fields (and confederate flags) and horses, this little farm in East Atlanta offers riding lessons, horses for lease.  Makes me wonder if these horses are as hip as the residents over there? I mean, do they skateboard? Do they have piercings? How bout vintage motorcylces? ok, I digress…

I am particularly fond of “Vic” featured on Dana McDaniel’s site, www.atlantariding.com.  The stable is located in East Atlanta, so please go give Vic a carrot.

For a few years I have been complaining about the lack of bakeries here in Atlanta, and I am happy to say I can finally rest my case. Park Grounds has opened and has simply hit a walk off home run with their “cupcakes, cereal and dog park” concept. Seriously. My dog and I can both experience our own form of happiness – at the same time. As a self-proclaimed cereal addict (cereal for breakfast, snacks and dinner) AND a cupcake fan I give this business two thumbs up! WAY up!
