Where to go in Atlanta: events, concerts, games and shows worth your night
Atlanta is the capital of hip-hop and of the American South: a city of arenas and stadiums downtown, a fox of a theater on Peachtree Street, a symphony that records Grammy winners, and a music scene from Little Five Points to the Westside that produced the last twenty years of the charts. Below is where to go in Atlanta for a night out, with addresses, and what tends to be on when.
