Oakland is in the middle of a renaissance and, in the past five years, has quickly become a melting pot for hipsters, techies and aspiring artists escaping the San Francisco fog. But at its heart is the families that have called this city home for decades, giving it a rare sense of community that’s dying in other parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. This can be experienced first-hand every month at Oakland First Fridays, where local bands and artists converge to put on the ultimate block party. Or the Grand Lake Farmer’s Market every Saturday provides another canvas for cultural and ethnic diversity. It only takes about 10 minutes at one of these city-wide events to see how Oakland, the birthplace of the Black Panther Party and other social justice organizations, is the definition of civic pride, welcoming any and all who visit to feel at home.

It’s hard to believe how much has changed in Atlanta since we released the first edition of 100 Things to Do in Atlanta Before You Die. Tons of new restaurants and shops have opened, developments that were in progress are finally completed, and there’s still so much ongoing progress and redevelopment that it’s hard to even keep up. But we have—and it’s all here in this second edition of 100 Things to Do in Atlanta Before You Die. Whether you’re a native of the ATL looking to mark another local experience off your bucket list or an out-of-towner in search of an only-in-Atlanta adventure, this is the guide you need. The book celebrates the top ways to (re)connect with Atlanta and shines a light on lesser-known haunts like the world’s largest junkyard of vintage cars and several historic Civil War sites (some supposedly still home to spirits from the grave). And no look at Atlanta would be complete without the “who’s who” of the city’s top Southern chefs—we’re talking who serves up the best fried chicken this side of the Mississippi, y’all. So before you head out on any adventure in the ATL, check out this book to see what makes Atlanta the coolest city in the South.
