The first half of Summer 2018 has skated past us faster than most of us can keep us. Most of us have barely made a dent in that summer bucket list that we started one fateful day back in May. Here at NX Direct, we won’t stand for it. Don’t let the rest of your summer pass you by, Atlanta. We’ve outlined the best things to do this summer, so go do them- today.
Red Phone Booth
Self-titled as a “prohibition experience,” Red Phone Booth is a speakeasy for the modern day. With an exclusive cigar program and a “turn of the century craft cocktail selection,” this is sure to show you a night you won’t forget. Plus, a tip from us here at NX Direct, make sure you know the 10-digit code for that day or you won’t be let in the doors. Fun drinks, freshly rolled cigars, good food, and an adventure- the ingredients for a perfect night.
Skyline Park
If you know Atlanta, you know Ponce City Market. However, the hidden gem sitting just atop Ponce City Market is none other than Skyline Park, a rooftop space for entertainment and amazing views. Skyline Park screams versatility. With carnival type games, mini golf, and the Skyline Slide, this is the perfect day-time family attraction and requires little to no planning at all. Searching for a spot for the next out-of-office work function? Socialize with your coworkers, friends, or family over top of the line food and drink at Skyline Park. NX Direct calls this the one stop shop for summer fun.
Juliana’s Crepes
Looking to deep dive into local eats? Hit Juliana’s Crepes on Lake Avenue NE for the pastry heard around the world. Whether you’ve got a sweet tooth or craving savory, Juliana has got you covered. With both extensive sweet and savory crepe menus, you are sure to fill the craving. If you want to know our pick, we recommend the Aurora’s Daily- with sautéed mushrooms, green onions, Muenster cheese, baby field greens, and house-made spicy peach chutney. Excuse us while we take a second lunch break.
Starlight Drive-In Theatre
Open seven days a week and offering movies for only $9, this is the go-to destination for any movie lover. Thought drive-ins were a thing of the past? Atlanta disagrees. Starlight Drive-In opened in 1949 and is still booming with business today. With screenings of popular blockbusters like Incredibles 2, Oceans 8, Deadpool 2, and many more, Starlight is sure to have the perfect showing for you to drive into. Pro-Tip from us here at NX Direct: be sure to check the website before showing up, screenings change daily, and the site is updated when certain screens are closed for the day.
From all of us here at NX Direct, we wish you a happy, healthy, and safe summer 2018.
