| CNNGo in Atlanta: Bikes, burgers and ... Szechuan cuisine? Posted: 11 Nov 2014 04:22 PM PST Atlanta has plenty of southern charm, but these days that means everything from rap to Chinese food to environmental advocacy  Quick, what do Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines, Holiday Inn and CNN have in common? If you answered, "Atlanta," you may be ready to get yourself ITP with the latest episode of CNNGo. On the other hand, if you even thought about uttering the word "Hotlanta" aloud or needed to click the link above to figure out what ITP means, you're definitely not from here, and may need some help getting around. That's why we're here. Known as the "crown jewel of the South," Atlanta is the headquarters (or co-headquarters, in the case of Holiday Inn) of some of the world's biggest and most recognizable brands. Atlanta's "world city" standing is well established, but rather than dwell on the familiar, this month's CNNGo explores the city's local charm. Diving into the former Olympic city's historic roots, we find outdoorsy atmosphere, culinary excellence and lots of great music. Acclaimed chef and TV personality, Kevin Gillespie, takes us to one of his favorite restaurants, Gu's Bistro, known for its authentic Szechuan cuisine. We get out of the kitchen to explore Serenbe, a New Urbanist community surrounded by nature trails and waterfalls. Founder of Civil Bikes, Nedra Deadwyler, takes us around Atlanta's famed BeltLine to show us the best places on two wheels and gives us a tour around some the city's most important civil rights locations. Then we hit up Noni's Bar and Deli for straight-up Italian comfort food. Environmental advocate and philanthropist, Laura Turner Seydel, shows us some of the area's freshest produce at Wheat Street Garden Farmers Market. From fruits and veggies to homemade hamburgers, rapper Killer Mike takes us to a local Atlanta favorite, Ann's Snack Bar. For all its global influence, Atlanta is still a city filled with southern charm. This month so is CNNGo. Locations
The paved portion of the projected 22-mile loop around the city of Atlanta is popular with cyclists, runners and pedestrians who use the path to access a variety of restaurants, bars and recreational space. Wheat Street Garden Farmer's Market The weekly farmer's market is held in downtown Atlanta. It's open year-round and specializes in locally grown fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers in the Old Fourth Ward. Wheat Street Garden Farmer's Market, 75 Hilliard St. NE, Atlanta; +1 678 973 0997 Gu's Bistro Considered one of the best Szechuan restaurants in Atlanta, Gu's is located on Atlanta's Buford Highway, an international community north of Atlanta that's home to some of the city's best ethnic cuisine. Acclaimed chef and TV personality Kevin Gillespie leads the way. Voted "fan favorite" on the 2009 season of "Top Chef," the Atlanta native runs his own restaurant, Gunshow, in the city's Glenwood Park neighborhood. Gu's Bistro, 5750 Buford Highway Suite A, Doraville, Georgia: +1 770 451 8118 Ann's Snack Bar
Famous for its "ghetto burger," deemed the best burger in the United States by the Wall Street Journal in 2007, Ann's Snack Bar has been a Kirkwood area mainstay for more than forty years. Killer Mike shows us the place then takes us to the record shop that inspired him to be a rapper, Super Sound Music. Ann's Snack Bar, 1615 Memorial Dr SE, Atlanta; +1 404 687 9207 Killer Mike, rapper
