What started as a boring day to renew my passport in Snellville, Georgia, turned into a spontaneous trip to Atlanta’s famous Ponce City Market. As a New Jersey native who knows nothing about Georgia other than the fact that its capital is Atlanta, I’ve always asked my Georgian-native friends for hot spots in the city.

After asking around, Ponce City Market consistently came up as a highly recommended place where I could take pictures, walk around and, most importantly, eat! My dad, who was visiting me for the day, and I walked up and down the aisles of Ponce deliberating about what food we were in the mood for.
