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.

Atlanta is a city filled with hidden gems of nature, limitless progression, booming entertainment, fanatical sports, a rapidly increasing spread of unbeatable mixed-use developments and, of course, insanely good food. With the hustle and bustle of exciting city life paired with recent attention from the film industry, Atlanta (AKA "The Hollywood Of The South") is a great city to get a taste of NYC and LA, with the ease of escaping to the peaceful rolling hills of suburbia. With an endless plethora of things to do, you'll never be bored in the ever-growing capital of The Peach State, where there is something for everyone. Home to some of the largest business empires in the world (Think Delta and Coca-Cola), the historical city is loved by native Atlantans, transplants and tourists alike. Take in everything from the hidden 35-foot waterfalls nestled alongside Vickery Creek at the historic Civil-War-era Old Roswell Mills, to the modern-era attractions like the Mercedez Benz Stadium - which recently opened so many award-winning restaurants, you may end up going just for the food. Atlanta offers obscure concepts that make for unforgettable times, from a bar that doubles as a dog park, to yoga with goats, to Airbnbs in tree houses and 5-pound slices of pizza, the streets are always swarming with so much fun you'll wonder how we fit it all in.

Texas is more than a state of mind. Texas is a jam-packed slate of unmatched meanderings that run a dozen different directions. Have you ever mingled in Marfa, lingered in Luckenbach, or wandered the expanse of the Padre Island National Seashore? Do you want to trek through the Piney Woods, track a Texas whatsit, or trace the footsteps of a Lone Star literary treasure? Would you consider visiting a Texas ghost town, pondering Ozymandias with Percy Shelley, or luxuriating in the Edenic waters of the Devil’s River? Outside, inside, lakeside, beachside, mountainside, wayside, or with a side of nachos to scarf down on the way to your next Lone Star attraction, this fascinating Texas bucket list explores the neatest state in the lower forty-eight in all of its incredible diversity, stark beauty, and unparalleled allure and mystery.

Bills in 100 Things to Do in Texas Before You Die, a definitive, quick-reference travel guide put together by a native-born, lifelong Texan who has traversed the state all his life and spent the last several years writing about its distinct wonders, quirkiness, and notoriety.
